You got that wrong Alex. They are both undeniably shit. Nothing will ever compare to the genius of Fat Les and Vindaloo, not even the John Barnes rap in World in Motion.

If I have to spend the summer listening to Bing Bong I might decide that shuffling off my mortal coil is the acceptable thing to do.

What a philistine! Bing Bong is too good for you.

It doesn't hurt any more.

Thirty years of hurt, twenty years of apathy, early international retirements and injury withdrawals bookended by two full ninety minutes plus stoppage time of Premier League appearance.

Returning to the original for a moment. It's awesome. If you set your Spotify to fade out at the end of the song and play it loop it's like one seamless never ending super tune.

Then I grew up

(also Psycho wasn't playing after that)

Bing bong is one of those sorts of songs that, in the days of vinyl, would be played endlessly by an 8 year old during half term, and then after his first day back at school he'd be greeted by his mother telling him she'd accidentally scratched it, jumped up and down on it & thrown it out the window, before he was offered a slightly more expensive gift as alternative compensation.

It's like elevator music for the vuvuzela generation.

I await, with trepidation, for the follow up single plip plop ft Crazy frog

Scotlands unofficial non-appearance 2016 European Championship song.


Mods feel free to delete if it breeches advertising rules. I thought it was funny.

Now we're getting somewhere. I think first of all you need the football song to be a good song in and of itself. Ian Broudie knew this and so did Keith allen when he did the New Order and Fat Les songs, masterpieces both. But he (and Joe Strummer) were also involved in Black Grape's long-forgotten first England song - another quality tune


Selected quotes:

I live in a land of class hypocracy,
We're going to win the National Lottery
E I Adio, I don't think so

Keep the game on the pitch
Bung it in
England!

I mean.... let's just get Keith Allen and anyone who can do a rousing, chantable chorus to do it. I reckon Florence & The Machine.

As for the Welsh offerings - SFA are SFA and that's fine by me, but the Manics are now surely the Ben Elton of Rock n' Roll. It's authentically Manics-y heart-on-sleeve stuff, and exactly the sort of thing that plays well in those parts. But it's also a bit shit.
