England’s “unofficial” World Cup song

[bristol_bnose2]

Anyone else heard this ear cancer? The visual aspect is equally horrific.

I genuinely think this is a cultural nadir in human history.

 

[George Goudie]

Does it have words in it? Is there a tune?

Stevie Gee's tune has words in it, they are quite good ones too you know!

 

[hawkfalcons]

oooft murder this is there best by far

 

[Kinbo]

Some amount of shite over the years

 

[Jonnybear]

I think that is great to be honest

 

[Sam_Seaborn]

They’ll never top “Three Lions”. Regardless of your feelings towards them, it was a cracking “popular music football anthem.

Edit - As I was kindly reminded that it was released for Euro 96.

whit? thats epic! Ive done that one on karaoke!

 

[Blue As]

“Here we go,here we go,here we’re back”....

 

[Orangeandblue]

They’ll never top “Three Lions”. Regardless of your feelings towards them, it was a cracking World Cup
Song.

Except it was written for Euro 96

And before you start I know it was re-released for France 98...

You’re absolutely correct sir. Made a lady's front bottom of that. Point still stands though, cracking “popular music football anthem”

 

[Orangeandblue]

What about Ant and Dec We’re on the Ball...

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

World Cup songs, I remember them? They go down in history I suppose, some club songs too. In 20 years time I hope to be here when we rejoice in the old song of "When Stevie Won 55"...

World in motion was far superior.

 

[Sam_Seaborn]

World in motion was far superior.

It’s a better song, but I think Three Lions is a better football anthem mate.

 

[jweebear]

World in motion was far superior.

The John Barnes rap was epic. Gaza in his prime, They should re-release it again with this squad and George Ezra and Vardy doing the Barnes rap.

 

[Bearshire]

Canny hold a candle tae We're On The Ball

 

[muttley]

Back Home. A proper football song.

 

[HerMajesty's11]

 

[Archibald Leitch]

Off at a slight tangent . . .

 

[Orangeandblue]

I’ll raise you Hoddle and Waddles (Horrendous) Diamond Lights

 

[subversive_bear]

World in Motion was tremendous.

 

[crmpicco]

What about Ant and Dec We’re on the Ball...

Dreadful

 

[ArfieldGer]

Anyone else heard this ear cancer? The visual aspect is equally horrific.

Just flinging it out there - I quite like it

 

[Iloverangers87]

Dreadful

I actually Quite enjoy the Neville to Campbell, Campbell to Rio bit..........

 

[johnnybravo]

Just a piss take

I hope

 

[iaatpies]

They're supposed to be naff.

 

[Deekw72]

New Order’s World in Motion is the best tournament song going, all others are irrelevant

 

[Archibald Leitch]

They're supposed to be naff.

I'd almost forgotten their piracy of the Union Flag

It's clearly done tongue in cheek. I don't think it's the worst at all to be honest.

 

[Brother Moses]

Agreed, at least Barnes could rap!

 

[Earl of Leven]

They should capture multi cultural, 21st century London:

An inner city 'drill' collective put together a tuneless 'blunt' and then film a video where they threaten England players and then meet up and stab them...

 

[Ambiorix]

Not a patch on "Don't Come Home Too Soon".

 

[colinwest]

This was a shocker. 1998 official England song. Ian McCulloch, Ocean Colour Scene, Space, Spice Girls and Johnny @&”!* Marr !

 

[bluetonic]

World in motion was far superior.

Its a great tune regardless of it being a world cup song.
This one is quite good actually

 

[Bear of Burnside]

This was a shocker. 1998 official England song. Ian McCulloch, Ocean Colour Scene, Space, Spice Girls and Johnny @&”!* Marr !

Don't think Marr was officially involved with that nonsense.

Ian McCulloch reworked a demo they had been working on for the song.

I'm seeing the Kaiser chiefs on the 24th, wonder if this will be aired!

 

[bluetonic]

I predict a riot if they do

Not having Marr being involved in that shit. Modest mouse was bad enough.

To be fair the Mondays are the real reason I'm going.

 

[White Cafu]

Was the first thing I heard this morning, had fucking ‘ra ra Rasputin, England’s got a winning team’ in my head half the morning

 

[RFC#1Scotty]

Oh look, the wonderful socialist theme with the little star, let's all celebrate in relation to a country that wiped 20 to 60 odd million people off the face of this planet in our wonderful of of thothalithm becauth thothalithm workth hahahaha this World Cup is going to be torture, can just see the virtue signalling everywhere from the advertisements and all sorts.

 

[minder]

What about Ant and Dec We’re on the Ball...

The B side was Ant singing We're On The Drink

 

[Buccaneers Bear]

Might be overplayed but it's a great wee tune along with Vindaloo.

 

[JeffreySpaulding]

Never heard that before. That's a belter.

 

[Konovolov]

Anything is better than Del Amitri's effort. Depressing bunch of wank.

 

[MmmBacon]

Can't believe no one posted this new one

 

[albertzuk]

What about Ant and Dec We’re on the Ball...

Great wee song when out running.

 

[bluewonder]

Basil Boli and Chris Waddle.

 

[chucknorris]
