Songs to sum up England's week?

It's England karaoke night to "celebrate" a woeful international break. What's on the list?

I'll kick off with Foden and Greenwood's rendition of "I kissed a girl" by Katie Perry

Anything by Garbage or Dire Straits.

btw is there no "like" function? I can see in the profile menu a thing for "likes you've received" but I really can't see how to give them, (nor view them if someone sends them).

I hope you’re not casting doubt upon the musical prowess of Dire Straits :mad:

Fecal matter is another that spring to mind.

Come on now, they're one of the most aptly named bands on the planet

How about Harry Maguire doing Gomez: Get Myself Arrested?

I don’t like you any more.

Knopfler is a musical god.

Perhaps a little Dio (Don't Talk To Strangers) seguing into Royal Blood (Come On Over) and Rush (Take a Friend, Leave That Thing Alone), with an encore of Thin Lizzy (Get Out Of Here).

I think you've missed his point.

Gangster's Paradise by Coolio (England squad in general).

Negative creep: Nirvana

Lokai · 10 Sep 2020 at 12:36

Things can only get better; D:Ream ?

Probably needs to be cover songs considering the number of players who played this week who are not really good enough for the real team.

ik9000 · 10 Sep 2020 at 14:27

Not enough - Van Halen

ik9000 · 10 Sep 2020 at 17:57

Some gems from lunchtime:

Linda Ronstadt - You're no good.
a solo for Gareth: Everclear - Out of my depth
followed by a Pickford ballad: a slowed down version of Skee-Lo "I wish (I was a little bit taller...)" (preferably in the voice of Orville)
