Unofficial England Euro song - Paul Oakenfold and Black Grape do us proud

[Arthur]

Fair enough! In answer to your question, I don't know. A quick google reveals that Stormzy was in the running to record it but nothing seems to have been released. Alas, I've not got a scoobie who Stormzy is either, I've never heard of him/her.


Edit - if you want a truly awful Euro song then look no further than Davud Guetta with what I think is the official Euro tune. It's an abhomination.

Pppffffffttttttt and you are supposed to be down with the kidz (yes with a Z!)?!?!? Stormzy I've got all of his/her LPs.....never off my jukebox!









No not a clue either!?!

 

[Giraffe]

Video is abysmal isn't it. And what's red white and blue got to do with the England football team. Song is average. 3/10. Wish I hadn't wasted 3 minutes 30 seconds watching it.

1. Dunno but seeing as we have lions on our shirts the connection will be around that.
2. England have played in red, white and also blue strips in their time and various combinations thereof.

You're really not happy about this tune, are you?

I'm not- but I'm not really sure why

I just find it so simple, no creativity I think is the issue

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I have studied the musical content, the bouncing melodies and emotive lyrics. The catchy hook, the nostalgic video cast and a subject matter that resonates at this time. Having digested all of this, my overall comprehensive overview of this song is that it is total and utter gash.

Genuinely like that but then I did grow up with my clubbing phase through the 90s.

Probably for the best you don't know Stormzy, he is from Croydon and Zaha is often in his street vids.

 

[Stat Brother]

On the one hand it sounds clichéd, lazy and dated.

But on the other hand it's dated back to my era and over the years there has been considerably worse.

As with all my school reports - 'you've passed but could do better' springs to mind.

 

[ExmouthExile]

Gotta be one of the worst England songs I've ever heard!

 

[SAC]

Gotta be one of the worst England songs I've ever heard!

It's better than We're on the Ball and on par with Shout for England. It's a low bar.

It's no World Cup Willie.

 

[Albumen]

It's catchy but it's not good.

 

[Eggman]

Yes. CLASSIC

[SK1NT]

This song makes me feel passionate about the national team... Best England song just ahead of three lions.

[Simster]

I quite like it.

But if you don't then it's not worth worrying about - it'll probably only be relevant for about 10 days.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Wasn't "Four Lions" a film about useless terrorists.....

Magnificent film.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I quite like it.

Indeed, to nick one of The Doc's.....Be home before the postcards.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Think i prefer their previous football song

Song ok
Video crap, don't get the connection with England playing football in euros with 2 black girls gyrating in the streets, followed by an Indian girl vogueing at a bus stop,get the multi cultural English message but not the connection to football
Please enlighten me

 

[T soprano]

If you wanna do a video highlighting life in England with a slight connection to football, this is how it's done
By MISSING ANDY - "made in England"

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It would have been better if John Cooper Clarke had done the vocal. Otherwise, very 1990 feel to it. Nice. But as a Southerner I feel Marginalised by the Northernness.

JCC would have been a great call and would have introduced him to a whole new generation. Failing that, I'd have had a John Shuttleworth song for the Euros. A proper follow-up to 'Pigeons In Flight' that he did for the Eurovisions. I bloody love John Shuttleworth.

Or maybe the Shirehorses...they'd have come up with a killer tune.

My favourite ever pop tune about England isn't a football song at all but it is by a Southerner: Laura Marling. It's completely the wrong season for it but sod it, my patriotism is roused so here goes.
