World Cup/football songs

CHRISTYG

Following a request from Mike65, I have a question- What are your favourite World cup/football records? My favourites-


1. Ossie's Dream- Spurs/Chas and Dave 1981

2. Yer Man- Dana/NI World Cup squad 1982

3. Put 'em Under Pressure- Republic of Ireland 1990

CHRISTYG

Come on lads (and maybe a few girls!) Why is there no interest in my questions? Ok, £1,000-or the equivalent figure in Euros- to the first person to answer!!

Mossy Monk

your 3rd choice would be my favourite World Cup song but they are all mainly crap.
now,
SHOW ME THE MONEY

mike65

Favourite fooball songs? Favourite ways to die?!

Not much between them...I'd have to say Three Lions by Skinner, Badiell and the Lightning Seeds chappie. It has an actual tune and was lyrically clever (and recylcable! ).

Mike.

CHRISTYG

Sorry, Mossy Monk, you are ineligible for the money under Rule 143, sub-section B!!!!!

Mossy Monk

****ing rules

CHRISTYG

Rule 143, sub-section B clearly states- and I quote-


"No citizen of Waterford City or County is eligible for any cash prizes which may, from time to time, be given on this forum, as the current administration DETESTS people from this city and county"

Mossy Monk

discrimination

CHRISTYG

Dem's da rules!!!!:D

jonno

Poor mossy monk

LOL:D

No.3 has to be the best IMO

BKtje

i was fairly fond of 'Give it a lash Jacl'

CHRISTYG

And the £1,000 goes to-ME!!!!!! Quite simply, this is because I deserve it, and it was my thread anyway!!!!!

Makaveli

The only 2 I like are:
Jean Michelle Jarre and Apollo 440 - Rendez Vous 98
Dario G - Carnival De Paris

The former being my favourite.

Bateman

Carnival de Paris (although it was a terrace chant on the continent first)
World In Motion (New Order, 1990)

And "We're Gonna Start a Fire" from Ireland 1990. This was a genius take on "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel, and should have been re-recorded for this world cup with refreshed lyrics.

To change a famous Ronald Reagan quote when he was President-

"I have today signed legislation which will outlaw Mossy Monk- and the whole of County Waterford- forever. We start bombing at 5.00 p.m. this evening!":D

Eh, you'd probably have had more success if you had posted this on the soccer board rather than here. From my own experience the majority of people interested enough in music to bother posting on the internet don't really give a toss about football or football songs in particular.

As for fav's I would pick
1. World in Motion by New Order (even if it is for the 'auld enemy' )
2. Strachan by The Hitchers (too cool for this planet!)

Kali

adam and joe - footie footie footie

easily the best football song EVER recorded.

stevoslice

It has to be put 'em under pressure from italia '90 that was a great cover of dearg dorm....

Although Joxer goes to Stuttgart from Christy Moore is excellent too.
