[Napper]

happy with that

 

[Wozza]

Well it's got one thing in common with World in Motion - Bernard Sumner and Danny McNamara are MASTERS at signing flat notes.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

How can anyone be happy about those ponytailed Yank twats doing England's World Cup anthem. Have you never listened to the dreadful 'More Than Words'

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Huddersfield Huddersfield Huddersfield

Im not happy, Embrace are hardly going to come up with a rallying of the troops affair are they? More likely to get everyone depressed!

 

[Marshy]

Looks like we will be singing 3 lions again then.....

I f***ing HATE Embarace they are SHIT! Wht didn't they get The Kasier Chiefs or Razorlight or Brakes or Brititsh Sea Power or f***ing ANYONE OTHER THEN EMBRACE!

 

[blockhseagull]

Got to be better than the spice girls with echo and the bunnymen

 

[Fatboy Quim]

something like "come back to what you know" or "all you good good people" could be a massive singalong - lets see if they can re-find that type of tune.

other than that they could re-release "hooligan"

or just get Chris Martin to write another song for them

Do they sing songs for deaf people then?

 

[Meade's Ball]

I would burn the hair of EMbrace. Its only that sort of muck which encourages Journey South to exist. Yet another pair of brother without a second of worth. If i were one of those lot, i'd Van Gogh my own head.

I liked Embraces first album great catchy sing along tunes but they've not done it much since then, a few good tunes with a fair amount of dross thrown in. New album is very average.

As mentioned further above if they could recapture the form form their first album they could put out a catchy singalong tune but I somehow doubt it.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Ist LP definitely their best work but Ashes is top tune.
Don't like the new single much though. But let's hear the thing first before we write it off!

They might as well just re-release Three Lions again - It's the only one that's ever going to be sung at games, and will probably be remembered by most. That said, Vindaloo comes close!

Did you hear anyone singing 'All Together Now' at the Euro's? hardly uplifting was it?

 

[Basil Fawlty]

They've should of got the Artic Monkeys to do it.

Damn right - my thoughts exactly. It would go to Number One again because everyone knows and loves it. I know Baddiel and Skinner are probably sick of it but how hard would it be to re-write the lyrics. If they gave the profits to charity, surely that's worth doing.

I was about to email the FA to complain about using a "Yank" group. Fortunately I used Google to get some info about them; lucky I did, as they appear to come from the Huddersfield/Leeds area!

Am I missing something?

I will delay my opinion on the song until I have heard it!
