For one evening only Maccabi Tel Aviv's footballers became the Boys in the Band and recorded the Championship song. Join them here behind the scenes and see what happened
In all their years playing together in the band, the members of the Israeli pop group "Ethnix" had never encountered such a large ingathering of off-key singers as the Maccabi Tel Aviv football team. As easily as they managed all season to make themselves masters of the Israeli Premier League, that's just how difficult it was for the Maccabi stars to manage, let alone master, the tune of the new Maccabi Championship song, "Yellow on the Rise". And no-one summed up the result as well as Argentinian born midfielder Gonzalo Garcia, who it seems might not have had the least idea what he was singing about: "I have no idea what I did, I was just shouting. I don't know if it came out good or not, I hope so, or maybe they'll just perform some magic when they edit the tapes". Composer of the Championship song Didi Harari added: "What they're really good at is enjoying themselves and you can really see them letting all their feelings come out. But I wouldn't recommend them quitting their day jobs". Have a look at the video.
