The composer behind Row Row Row, James Vincent Monaco, went on to write hit song You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want To Do It).In any weather you will see us with a grinWe'll fight and fight and winThe following week, while in King Island to open a cabaret there, Malcomson began listing suitable songs he could set lyrics to."The composers themselves would have little rooms and they'd sing ... and people would go 'I like that song' and they'd buy the sheet music."It was all about glorifying the American girl," Parke said.It was on one of these Sundays that Richmond Football Club committee member Alf Barnett expressed embarrassment to Malcomson that the club didn't have an official theme song."The early Broadway composers — Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern — they would write music in Tin Pan Alley, which was where you would go and buy sheet music."People still sing that song all the time," Parke said."When I am on my way to that big football ground in the sky I'll know that I have left something behind."New York entrepreneur Florenz Ziegfeld produced his first Follies in 1907, basing the show on Paris's risqué Folies Bergère.Being a Follies girl was "really prestigious", Parke said, but their career options were limited.Oh We're From Tigerland entered the iTunes Top 50 this week as fans downloaded it ahead of the Tigers' first grand final appearance since 1980.Music theatre director Tyran Parke researched the shows for the 2016 concert production of a musical based on the Follies.If we're behind then never mind"That was essentially how we sold records back then."Malcomson died in 2009 aged 86, but in his interview with Bartlett he said it gave him "a hell of a thrill" to know he had done something that made thousands of people happy.Speaking to writer and broadcaster Rhett Bartlett for the book Richmond FC, Malcomson said he "never in my wildest dreams thought about writing a theme song".We're strong and we're bold"These beautiful girls, they had to be a certain height and they all had long legs.The star of the show would often depend on who Ziegfeld was sleeping with at the time.A forerunner of today's Broadway musicals, the Ziegfeld Follies featured songs, ballet acts, comedy skits, lavish sets and a large chorus of women.Malcomson offered to write a song and Barnett accepted on the condition it was "a bouncy one".New York songwriters would compete to sell their songs to the Follies, at a time when people would entertain themselves at home by playing the latest tunes on their piano."They'd literally just parade around the stage while a tenor in a top hat sang about how amazing and beautiful the girls were."He earned several Oscar nominations for his work before he died aged 60 in 1945.Malcomson recalled that when he played it to the team before the next week's game they jumped out of their chairs and roared "like a tiger".Known as "Ragtime Jimmy", the Italian-born Monaco eventually moved from New York to Hollywood, where he partnered with lyricist Johnny Burke to write songs for a number of Bing Crosby films.To the Richmond faithful, it's the greatest theme song in the world — and when it's sung with passion, as it was at the MCG last weekend, it's hard to disagree.But the story behind the tune — a song called Row Row Row from the 1912 season of US variety show The Ziegfeld Follies — is less well known to footy fans."They launched a lot of stars but then [they] faded out quickly because the only thing to do was do the Ziegfeld Follies."Starting with a list of about 20 songs he gradually narrowed the choice down to Row Row Row.He wrote the lyrics on the plane back home, only adding the penultimate line "Yellow and Black" when he decided the ending lacked punch.In 1962 Malcomson was a regular performer at Richmond's "pleasant Sunday mornings" — post-game wind-downs for players and officials.The words of the song were penned by cabaret performer Jack Malcomson during a plane trip in 1962.This service may include material from Agence France-Presse (AFP), APTN, Reuters, AAP, CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced.Songwriters such as Gershwin went on to become well-known composers and songs from the Follies became jazz standards.We never weaken til the final siren's gone
