New England song - Utter Gash

[Sheebo]

how did that spice girls world cup song go??i remember now 'how does it feel...to be on top of the world..' i actually liked that as a song.. 3lions all the way - re-release it again?

 

[Everest]

I prefer 'Who do you think you are kidding Jurgen Klinsman'

 

[Pavilionaire]

The offical song is almost always SHITE, however this is not a bad thing as the tournament build-up phase wouldn't feel right if the song was any good.

I look forward to the leading unofficial contender catching on around late May, as always happens.

 

[Stinky Kat]

we had a great song in 1990 and got ot the semis and a great sog in 1996 and got to the semis.

This year we have a love song so what does that mean

 

[Richard Whiteley]

It is a dirge about some bloke whose bird has kicked him into touch. Its hardly something your going to wack on your CD player when Owen scores the winning goal is it

personally, I'll be getting drunk and celebrating rather than 'wacking on the official England world cup CD'

still, each to his own

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

 

[zefarelly]

all football songs are shyte, fact

why don't they just adopt a good track by a band for the occaision . . . .something by the Scorpions maybe

 

[Easy 10]

It was obvious the new World Cup song would be f***ing GASH, because the people who choose the "official song" are completely out of touch with the footballing public.

I'm more worried that the organisation responsible for rubber-stamping this DIRGE are right now in the process of sifting through the CV's to choose the new England MANAGER.

God f***ing help us.

 

[Gritt23]

I don't think it vaguely matters how good or bad the OFFICIAL song is. Truth is that there will be an absolutely plethora of unofficial songs, and we will all pretty much adopt the best one.

Gone are the days where there is just one song about.

 

[Trufflehound]

I think you judge too harshly.

Billy Bragg's original was excellent, and Kirsty MacColl's cover wasn't bad either.

 

[magoo]

VINDALOOOOO...VINDALOOOO...VINDALOOO VINDALOOO LAA LAA

 

[Silent Bob]

NSC - the elite board for music

f kin hell , it was a catchy number, it was alright and still better than most countrys will produce. Coommeee onnnnn

No it's not. It's EMBRACE for fucks sake. One of the worst contempory bands there is.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

New song out at the moment - "From London to Berlin", a cover of "From Paris to Berlin" by Infernal

Lyrics go:

From London to Berlin
And every game that England Win
We're gonna win the world cup
Win the world cup
Cause when we're thinking of Roo
And all the things he can do
We're gonna win the world cup
You've got us cheering for you!

Hilarious - this should have been our song! For people who have napster, you can download it from there

I've also heard Tony Christie's song "Is this the way to the world cup?!" also brilliant (and downloadable on napster)!

 

[Cian]

This song was ment for the album but wasn't finished and they have just changed a few of the lyrics to fit it to England a bit.

I like it but it's not really a football song.

Which is almost exactly true for "World in Motion" as well, cut and shut jobbie on a spare song from Technique. Still, didn't stop it being popular/successful...

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

VINDALOOOOO...VINDALOOOO...VINDALOOO VINDALOOO LAA LAA

im sorry. but that IS the best football song ever.

yes 3 lions is clas. but when your pissed all you want is a simple chorus. like vindaloo!

also shoutng the word BUCKET is always fun....

 

[CHAPPERS]

People who sing three lions in the pub after and England win are grade A pricks. The Embrace tune isn't great but then what did you expect from them? No band worth it's salt would write an FA cup song. The only reason Embrace did it is for exposure, their song writing is not god enough for people to take them seriously without a helping hand from gimmicks such as this and Chris Martin (who wrote their last big tune).

 

[surrey jim]

The Sham 69 one is BETTER.

Christian O'Connel = Legend

 

[Raphael Meade]

check this!

band i put on at my club on sunday night have written a world cup song for fun;

www.myspace.com/unofficialworldcupsong2006

its really good!

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

What is the point of a football song that you can't sing along to in a pub having just watched England win? 3 Lions for me anyday.

What is the point of another football song that you can sing along to in a pub having just watched England win?

Embrace have made this for the NON football fans to buy, so it gets in the charts.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

The only reason Embrace did it is for exposure, their song writing is not god enough for people to take them seriously without a helping hand from gimmicks such as this and Chris Martin (who wrote their last big tune).

Actually, Embrace's last big tune was Nature's Law, which got to number 2 in March this year.

Gravity, written by Chris Martin, only got to number 7 in 2005.
