===Club song===
"Join in the Chorus" is the official anthem of the North Melbourne Football Club. It is sung to the tune of a Scottish folk song from around 1911, "A Wee Deoch an Doris".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/sheetmusic/n/n12/n1267/ |title=Wee deoch-an-doris [Historic American Sheet Music] |work=duke.edu}}</ref>

The song is generally sung, in accordance to common football tradition, after a victory. It is also played before every match.

"Join in the Chorus" is believed to be the oldest club anthem of any AFL club and has been associated with North from its early VFA days. The preamble of the song originates from a score of a theatre musical called ''Australia: Heart to Heart and Hand to Hand'', written by Toso Taylor in the 1890s in pre-federation Australia.<ref name="H2H">{{Cite web|url=https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-164059153/view|title=Australia or Heart to heart and hand to hand [music]|website=Trove}}</ref> The second verse is unknown in origin and was presumably added later by members of the club when the song was chosen. The chorus was appropriated from a song written and performed by Scottish musician [[Harry Lauder]]. The recording currently used by the club was performed by the Fable Singers in April 1972 and only includes the choruses.<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-tunes-to-remember-20100723-10nyh.html AFL Tunes to Remember], ''The Age'', 23 July 2010.</ref>

The song has a strong Victorian heritage and has been traditionally sung by the Victorian State Football and Victorian Cricket teams respectively. The lyrics have occasionally been changed, including updating the year in the song (e.g. "North Melbourne will be premiers in 1993"), or to remove the words "North Melbourne" during the period when the club was competing only as the  Kangaroos. Following 1993, the players would sing after a win, the last line as "North Melbourne will be premiers just you wait and see." instead of "..is the team that plays to win for you and me."

For the 2015 premiership season, [[You Am I]]'s lead singer, [[Tim Rogers (musician)|Tim Rogers]], a North Melbourne supporter, announced that he would assist in an updated version of the song including the two verses. This version is only played at North home games as the team runs onto the ground.
