A young Brisbane fan has gone viral for belting out a hilarious rendition of John Denver’s hit Country Roads, Take Me Home.
The song’s connection to the Lions needs no introduction, but it has become synonymous with star forward Charlie Cameron since it started getting played on the loud speakers when he kicks goals during home games.

Each of the players have picked specific songs to be rung around the Gabba when they kick goals, but none have taken off quite like Cameron’s John Denver classic.
So iconic has the song become since becoming a staple at the Gabba, the crowd always continues to keep singing the chorus long after play resumes and the song is faded out of the speakers.
Even at the MCG on Saturday, sections of the Lions crowd were singing the song after Cameron kicked a goal, without the support of the speakers at the ground.
Later in the night, Country Roads chants broke out constantly in pubs around Melbourne.
But none of their efforts can claim to top that of young Lions superfan, Olly Barker.
The youngster, likely no older than 13, was given his chance to shine in front of a camera by online footy content creators, Marmalade, after Brisbane’s preliminary final win over Geelong.
The video has had over 600,000 views on TikTok, and has since been reshared on X following the Lions’ grand final win over Sydney.
“On repeat,” said the account that shared it after Saturday’s win.
‘Checkers’ from Marmalade gave Olly the mic, and he delivered a hilarious rendition of Denver’s song.
“I need this kid following me everywhere getting my encouragement and getting me up and about,” one person commented on the video on Tiktok.
“I love this kid,” another added.
“This kid is louder than a rugby league game,” someone else joked on an X post of the video.
It had people comparing him to the ‘Prince of Carlton’, another young footy fan whose cameos on Marmalade’s platforms have garnered viral support.
“He way better than the Carlton kid,” someone commented.
“Prince of Carlton is better,” another disagreed.
