"Shut Up – The Footy's on the Radio" is a song by Australian Alternative rock band, TISM. It was written as an entrant for a Triple M football competition in 1997, which it won. Its prize was to be the theme music for Triple M's AFL coverage.[1] The song peaked at number 90 on the ARIA Charts.

The song was rerecorded and re-released in March 2010 and used in Triple M's AFL coverage for the 2010 season.[2]

Reception[]

By some, the single was described simply as "commercial opportunism".[3]

Heard magazine's reviewer rated the track as 8.5 out of 10, with the explanation "The masked men return with a pretty cool commercial hit... the guys go a long way to get every listener into the football spirit by getting the guitars & general 'yob' atmosphere happening."[4] However, they felt that "There doesn't really seem to be much point to having three different [mix] versions to me, when we could have had one of their album out-takes or something similar."[4]
