Holy Grail is a song performed by the Australian band Hunters & Collectors on their 1992 album Cut. With lyrics referring to popular Holy Grail mythology, the song is an anthemic single inspired by Napoleon's march to Russia in 1812, but also referencing the Hunters & Collectors' flagging attempts to "crack" the American market.
The song has since become an Australian rules football anthem.[1] Channel Ten has used the song to open and close its AFL broadcasts since 2002. It was also featured as the theme song to the Australian rugby league movie Footy Legends.
