88 The Winners was a various artists "hits" collection album released in Australia in 1988 on the WEA record Label. The album spent 4 weeks at the top of the Australian album charts in 1988. It was released on LP with 16 tracks, and on CD and cassette with 18 tracks.
The Winners, currently known as The Winners Rebooted is a long running Australian television series that shows highlights of Australian rules football matches.
The original version was broadcast during the late 1970s to late 1980s on the ABC on Sunday mornings. It was normally hosted by Drew Morphett with a panel consisting of former players and pundits. Two matches from the previous day's Victorian Football League (VFL) fixtures would be screened and the panel would speculate about the games along with the league ladder and the goal, mark and play of the day. The format of the show was comprehensive, yet devoted mainly to matters on the field. Today it appears simplistic when compared with modern football's more saturated and market driven media coverage.
A new version of The Winners returned on the Fox Footy Channel in 2002, hosted by Clinton Grybas, showing highlights of all eight AFL games from the weekend in a one-hour show. From 2007 to 2011, it was shown on Fox Sports on the Monday night following the round. In 2012, the show moved to Fox Footy channel.
My Way (also known as The Winners) is a 1973 South African drama film directed by Emil Nofal and Roy Sargent and starring Joe Stewardson, Richard Loring, Marie Du Toit and Tony Jay. It was followed by a sequel My Way II in 1977.
"The Bottle" is a song by American soul artist Gil Scott-Heron and musician Brian Jackson, released in 1974 on Strata-East Records in the United States. It was later reissued during the mid-1980s on Champagne Records in the United Kingdom. "The Bottle" was written by Scott-Heron and produced by audio engineer Jose Williams, Jackson, and Scott-Heron. The song serves is a social commentary on alcohol abuse, and it features a Caribbean beat and notable flute solo by Jackson, with Scott-Heron playing keyboards.
The song was issued as the first and only single for Scott-Heron's and Jackson's album Winter in America (1974). It became an underground and cult hit upon its release, and the single peaked at number 15 on the R&B Singles Chart. Described by music critics as the album's best recording, the commercial success of "The Bottle" helped lead to Jackson's and Scott-Heron's next recording contract with Arista Records. Similar to other compositions by Scott-Heron, the song has been sampled extensively by hip hop artists.
The Bottle is a 1915 British silent drama film directed by Cecil M. Hepworth and starring Albert Chevalier, Stewart Rome and Alma Taylor. It was based on a play by Arthur Shirley.
We believe that winnings come with attitude and heart
Determination let it bring us through.
The team that has the power to compete
Even in the moment of defeat.
Go for gold in South Korea
go for gold in '88
There's a pinacle for climbing down in Seoul the treasure waits.
And there's metal on the mountain for the team that never stops
It's the dream for every sportsman who is reching for the top.
Hey
go for gold and we're going for the metal
Till we're standing in the middle
We're singing hey ja
go for gold
put the pedal to the metal
Till we're standing in the middle
We're singing hey ja
hey ja
go for gold!
The path is long and winding and it's easy to forget
There's a winner and loser every game.
We're playing for each other and we're playing for the fans
They're always there to give the team a hand.
Go for gold in South Korea
go for gold in '88
