Official World Cup Song revealed

It sounds absolutely dire imo:-

Listen to Embrace tripe

Bring back the days of Vindaloo!

Awful in my opinion, if anybody heard the Chris Moyles show this morning, Aled's song is much better than this! Is it just me or do all Embrace's songs sound extremely similar?

Its going to take something a tad better than this to beat 3 Lions.

that is truly appalling

Mr_L · 21 Apr 2006 at 13:14

Very dull and boring. Lets hope someone comes up with a lively song that can actually be sung on the terraces.

Agreed. I cringe when new songs come out especially with bands like Embrace......EMBRACE!!

It's not a patch on Hurry Up England

i dont see why 3lions isnt back out..

40years of hurt.. it fits better than no more years of hurt (1998 poor version)

pretty simple really and we all know its a quality football anthem, plus its in germany this year... it all fits

Steedie · 21 Apr 2006 at 14:07

heard it on the radio this morning

Its awful, doesnt make any reference to football (which the guy who wrote it said that was because he wanted other people to be able to take it as a non football song if thats what they wanted)

It really is terrible

Three lions was a great song, not only cause it was good to listen to, but everytime i listen to that song i get goosebumps cause it really makes you wanna get up and support your team.

This song makes me wanna go to sleep, and thats not how a world cup song should be, hardly a song to lift the players now is it

lemonkettaz · 21 Apr 2006 at 14:08

this song is just an embrace song.

nothing to do with the world cup.... stupid, they just want to boost their sales

Yeah it does. it makes direct reference to the WC.

I'm not sure. I wasn't keen at first and though I like Embrace I didn't think it would be the right sound for a WC song, but I think its a grower. Gonna allow it some time before I slate it.

3 lions is boring now and Vindaloo was boring the year it came out

Back Home > *

lemonkettaz · 21 Apr 2006 at 14:12

vindaloo i really hated.... used to do my head in.

ant and dec was a classic!

JohnnyG · 21 Apr 2006 at 14:16

A John Barnes rap would sort that Embrace song out

_Jimlad_ · 21 Apr 2006 at 14:37

embrace rock, but it's tough doing a world cup song after three lions

Oh yes! Someone needs to do a remix of it with the John Barnes rap in the middle, everyone would love it then.

And yes, Aled's song rocked!

From the clip on the BBC website I sort of like the lyrics but it isn't upbeat enough for a world cup anthem.

It probably needs re-recording with some cheer.

jesta · 21 Apr 2006 at 16:28

the "who do you think you are kidding" song is good. you know the one which has the lyric "Jurgen has only got one Ballack!!" too bad they were in breach of copyright so they changed the song which made it poor.....bring back the 3lions.
that was the best!!

The best i've heard so far, the official one is awful.
