Some companies do the oddest things and The Note often wonders whether to admire the cultural quirkiness or cringe with embarrassment.
We are still torn by the discovery that David Flanagan’s (pictured) Atlas Iron has its own theme song, which the team belts out at various locations in WA. An operative of The Note has actually seen this, in real life. Try it yourself to the tune of ‘Let it be’ by the Beatles.
When-they mine their wealth in finds in Pardoo
Atlas makes a mark and more
Shipping off from Hedland, iron ore
And it wasn’t always easy going
Challenges are there for sure
We worked our way to wisdom, iron ore.
Iron ore, what we saw
Bloody bewdy, that’s for sure
Working as a unit, iron ore
And then those bigger disbelievers
Thought we never had the core
Of people to make it happen, we were sure
We showed ’em that we had the passion
Working as a team and more
Atlas will be the winner, ore galore
Iron ore, that’s score
From-head-office-to-the-drivers-door
We-have the will to win-win, iron ore
Iron ore, to the fore
Great team spirit, more in store
There’ll-be a bright tomorrow, iron ore.
Iron ore, iron ore.
Atlas sure, we-all are-for
Our-team can make it happen, iron ore.
Iron ore, iron ore
Bloody bewdy, that’s for sure
We are all for one and one for all.
