Geelong Cats Theme Song – Carn’ the Cats (aka “Carn the Cats”, 1978 | Ron & Hazel Ellis)

Описание: In 1978, the Geelong Football Club commissioned Ron & Hazel Ellis to record the theme song “Carn the Cats” — often searched as “Carn the Cats”.
The anthem, performed with the support of Geelong players at Kardinia Park, captured the passion of the Cats community.

🎶 From football fields to family legacy, the Ellis story now stretches across generations. The revival of Carn the Cats not only honours Ron & Hazel’s music but also connects to their grandson, Jordan Ellis — carrying the Ellis name proudly on the world stage at the WBSC U18 Baseball World Cup (2025).

This is the Ellis legacy: music, memory, and now sport — carrying pride, grit, and green & gold spirit across time. 💚💛
