Aussie star Jordan Mailata belts out perfect song during Philadelphia’s Super Bowl parade

Philadelphia has turned green on Valentine’s Day to celebrate its Super Bowl champions.

And it was Australia’s newest hero who had thousands of fans on their feet and singing away on Friday (local time).

“I’m not one for speeches but I know how to sing,” Jordan Mailata said as he faced the buzzing crowd.

“But I’m going to need some help.

“I want to sing a song that everyone here should know — it kind of sounds like this.”

Surprising everyone, the hulking Aussie and former rugby league player then started performing a pitch-perfect rendition of Queen’s famous pop anthem, We Are The Champions.

“We are the champions my friend .... there we go. C’mon!!” he shouted, as the adoring crowd followed his command.

Later during the festivities, he said: “This is amazing. I love our fans, I love our city, I love what they’re about.”

Fans also swooned and screamed as quarterback Jalen Hurts and Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie took turns hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the start of the team’s victory parade through the City of Brotherly Love.

Many fans camped out along the team’s parade route overnight, huddling under blankets and inside tents to secure prime spots near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the Eagles were to take the stage on the iconic “Rocky” steps.

Others decked out in Eagles jerseys climbed trees, perched themselves atop ladders and clung to a statue of Benjamin Franklin near City Hall to get a glimpse of record-setting running back Saquon Barkley and Cooper DeJean, the rookie defensive back who ran an interception into the end zone on his 22nd birthday.

Barkley, at one point, hopped off one of the open-air buses to walk along the parade route and exchange high-fives with fans.

Jordan Jaindl, who couldn’t make it to the 2018 parade after the Eagles won their first Super Bowl, wasn’t going to miss this one, bringing his wife and three daughters from Binghamton, New York. This team, he said, was the embodiment of the city.

“Their work ethic,” he said. “How they have to grind for each win. We have to grind here in Philly.”

Fans showed up with grocery carts stocked with food and booze while a few stayed warm in a hotel, sipping champagne. One group roasted a pig with the number “15” carved into the side — a final shot at Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The Eagles, despite being underdogs, dominated the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, shutting them out in the first half before finishing with a 40-22 victory.
