That's made me smile from ear to ear. Come on England.

There is no-one - absolutely no-one - who could have carried that off without looking like an almighty item of genital furniture but Mr Rascal. What a genuine superstar he is.

has clearly been reading this (and I mean that in a good way)

It's a fun concoction, all buttons pressed and I like the fact Mr Rascal is not afraid to make daft pop records. I like the sub-bass on the verse as well.

Almost made me vaguely interested in the World Cup for a split second....

about primal therapy ?
Well, I guess it couldn't hurt. Better than the astrology that the french manager is into!

...but I wonder if the rather intense Roland Orzabal of the early 80s would have been relaxed about his rather personal song about primal therapy used in this way? Given that he's touring with Spandau Ballet at the moment, I guess economic realities win.

Denise Johnson from Primal Scream and A Certain Ratio singer doing a re-written Dexy's tune over a sort of late 90s coffee table/M-People stylee. Note the Youtube vid wrongly credits her as the former Happy Mondays singer thus picked up as such by a lazy so and so at the Guardian

It is however, way better than this pile of drivel, written by the current manager of the Fall, for which he has drafted his client in to sing lead vocals. The walkie talkie noises you can hear are presumably a search and rescue team looking for the melody, rhythm and memorable chorus.

This is the one! Apparently this "VOTED THE BEST PARTY ENGLAND SONG" is Black Lace although I don't recognise any of the 'Superman' Hitmakers in this rather terrifying clip.

This video is a staggering bit of social realism, it could almost have been directed by Martin Parr.

It manages to compress everything that I hate about this country into 3 mins 52 seconds. You can almost smell the beery farts. I love the bit where it references the fact that it's for 'Hope for Heroes'..and it cuts to a Hearse.

then I had to hit 'stop'

but "Come And Have A Go If You Think You're Hard Enough"? That's exactly what England needs its fans singing to make friends in SA.

I absolutely agree. It's a disgrace of a song. And quite frankly, what with the new Mars advert, I've gone right off John Barnes and the World In Motion song. Anyway, what do I care. I've drawn America in the sweep at work. America, F**k Yeah! Coming again to save the MotherF***ing Day Yeah.......me thinks not.

can now forget about their team talks and just show their sides this clip

Stick to the official FIFA song

Although this is so awful I quite like it...

but I'll say it again...

Come on Deutschland!

Shite.

This is what the All Whites and my kids in their morning assembly are singing.....
It's more a case of "come and have a visit if you fancy having a bit of peace and quiet" rather than "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough"....

Is James Corden the new Keith Allen?
Think this was '96 or '98.
