I don't get this. The song is totally inappropriate and has zero relevance to us apart from having the word "blues" in the title.

If we 're going to adopt a song I would prefer it to have some relevance or connection to the club, personally.
It has though, the banner at the 84 cup final and Howard Kendall had it at is funeral iirc, sure it was a favourite of his. So we did adopt it, nothing wrong with that.
 
Well we have z-cars at kick-off, that must never change and 'Grand old team' that must never change. In a full, emotional Goodison, in literally it's last dying breaths with a strong, moving, reasoning behind it, in literally its closing down ceremony - 'There she goes' (waving off Goodison into the sunset for the last time) - everyone was sad and focused on that one thing and it was very appropriate. I'm not sure 'There she goes' will particularly mean anything if it's played at Hill Dickinson at some point in a quarter-empty/half-empty stadium in the hour before kick-off.
 


I’ve changed my opinion on this since Sunday… initially it felt very powerful to me as a goodbye and I sort of wanted it to stay that.

But it’s a terrific tune, with Everton connections - and more than anything, I love the idea that Goodison birthed a new Everton cultural touchstone on its very last day.

So yes, let’s embed this as one of our songs.
 
Which Beatles song? Rocky Raccoon would Bridge no 2 + 3

Theres 4 id have in mind.

In My Life, which is an amazing song in it's own right anyway, but also was great on Sunday and lyrics are fitting.

Here Comes the Sun, played at the ground on a freezing December game in 2001 as a tribute to George just after he died and it was amazing.

For You Blue, for obvious reasons.

Dont Let Me Down, for even more obvious reasons.

Edit: especially this version with Paul's extended intro, "Don't let me down blues"...
