SpencerTom reminded me we need a thread on this.
I've not heard it but Radio 4's news announcer (I believe it was board favourite, Charlotte Green) sounded like she was having difficulty suppressing laughter while reading out some trite shit lyrics.
Could this be worse than that one by him out of Echo and the Bunnymen?
*spencertron
Oh yeah
Sorry.
Shit film anyway! ;-)
Him out of Echo and the Bunnymen
... is thinking of making another football song, this time with Fat Les.
Be afraid.
what's it called?
?
it's awful
it's basically clocks by coldplay but slowed down and with worse lyrics.
they had live coverage of it's first play on Radio 1 on BBC Breakfast News this morning from a bar in Bristol. Twas pretty funny, you had this digital radio spewing the song forth which obviously became really mangled somewhere between being filmed, being broadcast and arriving in my TV, and a lot of balding forty-somethings sitting around looking most unimpressed.
that bodes well for the world cup then
sounds
great !
im
sold!
I Think...
It Needs to be Faster!! lol
I Think...
It needs to be faster!! lol
oh its bad
reeeeeal bad
I heard
I chortled.
Then I thought: "It could have been worse, actually."
But it ain't no football song.
It doesn't mention lager once.
ok i can imagine it's bad but...
is it terrace material...will it be sung out loud like 3 lions
or is it gonna be like on "top of the world" by Echo and the Battyman? which was total and utter...toss, like yeh what where they thinking, that some wobbly chinned, fat bastard of an England fan's gonna be singing this?
I'm guessing the latter
can't see it being any other way.
Not terrace material, at all
Come on
It has to be great, The Sun say's so!!
hahahaha..
it's so fucking bad!
Shocking
Nothing more needs to be said!!
i say they bring back the liverpool rap
and update it for England, but only if bruce grobbelar is allowed to be in it.
i want barnes to rap
maybe get rooney in to do do a shouty chorus.
in football songs:
with players singing >> w/out players singing.
it's true.
Isn't John Barnes involved
in an unofficial world cup song?
he should be
if new order had got barnes to rap it during last year's glasro, rather than kunt allen they would have destroyed the place. it could have beewn the best glasto ever, i'd even have forgiven sumner yelling "come on!" during love will tear us apart.
Is there...
a bit where there's a football crowd singing?
If not it's destined to fail.
Are you joking?
Embrace's trick is having all their loyal fans singing all the time.
I think its 'Ashes'... the chorus is pretty catchy, but its got loads of their crowd on it. I hate that kind of thing to a song like that.
I liked it on Somewhere Else and the Fix You video, but not that crappy song.
..
They play Ashes at Reading games before the team comes out to get the crowd going. I just stay in the bar a bit longer now.
Heard it by accident this morning
It seems to have been written purely as background music for a TV montage of footballers. It's certainly not anything that can be sung by regular fans.
its like
killing any musician with talent and choosing the people that are left to make it. 3 lions is amazing as a footy song, gets the ground goin, together, easy. this tripe ud be embarrased to sing along to
Singing is overrated
Well, the idea that a good football song has to be "sung by regular fans" is. When was the last time you heard a fulsome chant based on World In Motion?
why dont they just release 3 lions again?
it has to be better than this rubbish
It's bland and cheesy at the same time.
They've reached a new low...
bollocks
it's a load of gob shite.
it's terrible
but it's embrace doing a world cup song - who expected anything else? three lions has made every attempt at a football/pop song crossover redundant. not that i'd actually sing at a football match, but still.
hmmm
newsnight used it for a montage of the Queen's 80th Birthday celebrations, pretty much sums it up really
lol
Am I the only one that hasn't heard it yet? I bet I probably have, but not paid any attention to it.
If there is one band in the world that will guarantee you a song that is impossible to chant along to, then it's Athlete. Embrace second.
ive not heard it
thank god
Embrace
I know, we'll choose Embrace for the world cup song, cos Danny Mcnamara's weedy voice is brilliantly disguised by ridiculous over productuion.
