NRC: Melbourne Rising Inspired by Bruce Springsteen Classic
by Brendan Bradford –
Mitch Inman admits he’s far more proficient on the footy field than on a drum kit or strapped to a guitar, but the Melbourne back’s wide and varying musical tastes, and membership in the Rising’s leadership group, means he’s helped pen the new lyrics to the side’s victory song.
The squad of professional and part-time footballers have belted out the tune twice in as many matches in a perfect start to the inaugural NRC season with wins over the Rays and Stars.
Set to the melody of Bruce Springsteen’s anthemic track ‘Born in the USA,’ Inman says the song-writing process was a group effort.
“Sammy Jeffries is a big Bruce Springsteen fan, so he thought it would be a good idea and everyone agreed to it,” he told Rugby News.
