Official World Cup Song revealed

[gib786]

im appaled, firstly that embrace were chose and secondly at their poor attempt, they **** have gotten kanye to do it!

 

[theredguy]

I'm not a football fan normally but will follow England in the world cup every time and even i thought the song was utter rubbish, as far as i can see there will only be two songs really sung by the England supporter's this year and that's Three lion's or Vindaloo, they have far more appeal in the group sing along stakes.

 

[Big Kev]

What an awful pile of garbage that is.

 

[atpbx]

Alive and Kicking for me.

Even though its only football connection is it was used to advertise the Prem on Sky sports when it started.

 

[Chronos-X]

I love three lions and I dont even like football

For 4 minutes it makes me want to watch it - a great song in its own right.

Three Lions > *

Jules Rimet(sp) still gleaming..

Still got the cd

 

[=Mac=]

Embrace, great.

A great big steaming pile of scarf wearing bland.

A 10 year 3 lion anniversary song would have been brilliant.

 

[da_mic_1530]

who gets to chose embrace to do the thing anyway?

 

[georges]

WTF?!

I thought that song was called embrace..

OH DEAR GOD!! ITS THAT ******* NATURES LAW BAND

They have to be the most inspiration-lacking band I have ever heard. They make you want to change to a station playing coldplay ffs.

Dear god thats bad. WHY?

Got to admit its growing on me not one for the fans to sing along to tho.
Just caught the end of motd2,can someone explain how world in motion was no1 footie song? (and where was 3 lions,saw top5 i think but not mentioned )

3 lions is my favourite still,just for memories of the holland match in the euros

 

[Gilly]

Embrace are a great band. Much better than Coldplay.

I was surprised when I heard they'd been chosen. Don't think it really suits, but they've done better than I expected, and it is actually growing on me as I said it might.

 

[red11]

It sounds like something from U2s crappest album ever "All That You Can't Leave Behind".

MOTD2 showed the bottom 5 songs or the top five crap ones if you like, so world in motion was the worst at no. 1 !

ah,i see,thanks

 

[Zom]

The chorus reminds me of Cyndi Lauper - Time after Time. (Try singing it over the top of the embrace song)

if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time

With the world at your feet
There's no one you can't beat
Yes it can be done
With the world at your feet
There's no height you can't reach
This could be the one

What do you guys think?

I thought MOTD 2 showed the top 5 England World Cup songs. And that the only reason Three Lions wasn't on there, is because it's the Euro 96 England song.

Adrian Chiles specifically said the top 5 worst ones or the bottom 5, thats why that horrendous 'B' side was there for Mexico 86. Disgusting!

 

[decmatt]

tbh I think its pretty good song, although it shouldnt be the world cup song, but I believe its a brilliant song.

 

[serlex]

I can not see the fans singing that during a match, 'Football is Coming Home' much better!

 

[MikGriff]

Christ, thats awful.
