Quite amazed at the sheer number of chants and songs in the arsenal. Your barmy army teaches well. Interesting to note the different gestures made when singing these songs. Most of the songbooks make no mention of them yet they add a tremendous deal to the effect. For example, I noticed the following in their rendition of Are We Happy? at the SCG (playing NSW in a tour match):
[First line is shouted by one bloke, the rest repeat, etc.]
Today is Monday
Today is Monday
Monday's finger day
Monday's finger day *stick out the finger*
Are we happy?
Are we happy?
You bet your life we are!
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur *spin around with one hand on top of head*
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur
Today is Tuesday
Today is Tuesday
Tuesday's errrghh!
Tuesday's errrghh! *feign to slice your throat*
Are we happy?
Are we happy?
You bet your life we are!
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur *spin around with one hand on top of head*
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur
Today is Wednesday
Today is Wednesday
Wednesday's Aussie day
Wednesday's Aussie day *gesture to stroke something in front of your forehead*
Are we happy?
Are we happy?
You bet your life we are!
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur *spin around with one hand on top of head*
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur
Today is Thursday

Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur
Today is Friday
Today is Friday
Friday's for shagging sheep
Friday's for shagging sheep *make necessary motions*
Are we happy?

You bet your life we are!
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur *spin around with one hand on top of head*
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur
Today is Saturday

Are we happy?
Are we happy?
You bet your life we are!
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur *spin around with one hand on top of head*
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur
Today is Sunday
Today is Sunday
Sunday's a day of prayer
Sunday's a day of prayer *said solemnly, with palms together*
Are we happy?
Are we happy?
You bet your life we are!
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur *spin around with one hand on top of head*
Du-du-du-dur-du-dur-du-dur
Most impressive when seeing it performed; certainly earned my admiration even if their cricket team couldn't.
