Has there ever been a decent one?

Mr Swygart, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"the superbowl shuffle" by the chicago bears

gygax! (i forgot my blog password), Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

no. the england new order 'world in motion' single, usually paraded as 'an honourable exception' is poor.

stevo, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"The Football Albums" by DiskothiQ (it's indie rock so those of you that don't like indie rock wouldn't care for 'em). Two CDs, one NFC and one AFC. Every team gets a song plus there's a song for teamless Los Angeles. Disclaimer: I wrote lyrics for one of the songs. It's the weakest song on the two, though. Otherwise, taken together, they're a pretty brilliant case study in all the different ways one can go working from a fairly narrow theme.

John Darnielle, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Most Goals Scored for Newcastle United
Jackie Milburn, Striker. Seasons 1946-57, who scored 200 goals in league and cup fixtures.

Now thats what I call a decent football record.

stevo, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"World In Motion" is great!

Dan Perry, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have this 97 Rock Buffalo Bills compilation CD that's really nothing more than extended Karaoke, but is very funny if you're from Buffalo...

Steve K, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Air Miami's "World Cup Fever" is brilliant.

There's also an entertaining 1994 compilation of mostly '60s soccer records called _Bend It!_

Liverpool F.C. is hard as hell
United, Tottenham, Arsenal
Watch my lips, and I will spell
'cause they don't just play, but they can rap aswell

Liverpool F.C.
Liverpool F.C.

My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility...
Napoleon had that idea he'd have conquered the bloody world
Walk on... walk on... with hope... in your heart... and you'll never walk... alone

Alright Aldo
Sound as a pound
I'm cushty la but there's nothing down
The rest of the lads ain't got it sussed
We'll have to learn 'em to talk like us

Well I'm rapping now, I'm rapping for fun
I'm your goalie, the number one
You can take the mick, don't call me a clown
Any more lip and you're going down

Alright Ace, we're great me and you
But the other lads don't talk like we do
No they don't talk like we do, do they do la
We'll have to learn 'em to talk propah

Walk on... walk on... with hope... in your heart... and you'll ne... ver walk... alone

You two scousers are always yapping
I'm gonna show you some serious rapping
I come from Jamaica, my name is John Barn-es
When I do my thing the crowd go bananas

How's he doing the Jamaica rap?
He's from just south of the Watford Gap
He gives us stick about the north/south divide
'cause they got the jobs
Yeah, but we got the side

Well I came to England looking for fame
So come on Kenny man, give us a game
'cause I'm sat on the bench paying my dues with th e blues
I'm very big down under, but my wife disagrees

They've won the league, bigger stars than Dallas
They got more silver than Buckingham Palace
No-one knows quite what to expect
When the red machine's in full effect

Well Steve McMahon sure can rap
It's about time he had an England cap
So come on Bobby Robson, he's the man
'cause if anyone can, Macca can
Macca-can... Macca-can... Macca-can... Macca-can...

Liverpool F.C. is hard as hell
My idea was to build Liverpool up and up and up until eventually they would be untouchable. Everybody would have to submit. Give in, give in, give in

We're Highland lads
Och-ai the noo
And there's four of us
And only two of you
So if you want nai trouble
And you don't want a slap
You'd better teach us the Anfield rap

Don't forget us paddies
And me the Great Dane
And I'm from London mate so watch your game
Well you two scousers, you're always talking
But we'll just let our feet do the talking

Our lads have come from all over the place
They talk dead funny, but they play dead great
Well now we've gotta learn 'em to talk real cool
The song you've gotta learn if you're Liverpool

Walk on... walk on... with hope... in your heart... and you'll ne... ver walk... alone
You'll never walk alone

Ho-ho my word
That's unbelievable, it really is
I think they should stick to playing football. Terrible
What do you think Kenny?

Oh yeah!

Dom Passantino, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A nod of agreement for "World Cup Fever" by Air Miami. That song cracks me up. Now I gotta put it on.

Buy this. Sign here. Sign there. Sell that. Who's talking? Snack bar, let's go!
Sie gehen zu mehr(?). Ich bin hier. Kaufen Sie diese. (???) Who's talking? Golf cart, let's go!

What a nut. There's even a remix CD for that track, released in '98 to coincide with the last World Cup, perhaps with a small amount of hope that it might become a surprise hit.

Ernest, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oops lemme close those italics.

Ernest, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh when St.Georges lads go a-playing

And the winter nights are cold

When the stable rocks with an Englsih horse

And the tavern keeps out the cold

We'll smash your Scottish heads off

With our righetous sticks and stones

When our homo-erotic thoughts laiden-be bare

We'll all have fuckin' bones

St. George, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We are red, we are white

I've been out in the sun for ages

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fuck off you English c**t!

Max, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When the Big White Man goes jumping

On the bones of the Scottish deer

And we chow down on your piss-weak ale

God's will will ever be clear

That the Scottish wank off toddlers

And the English stop this from being be

Your fat hands are around a newborn's knob

While we sing "Victory"

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Only joking there kids, but jesus what was that guy thinking of? I think blind nationalism has no place on ILE!

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well I like "Ipswich Ipswich (Get That Goal)' but I suspect that if you're not a fan of the super blues, it may not sound quite so good. Oh and I get goose-bumps when I hear World-In-Motion especially around world cup time.

Ipswich Ipswich (Get That Goal) as performed by the 1978 FA Cup Final Squad

Der duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh duh

Were all going to Wembley, Thats were we belong, So get on board were going up, Were going to win the cup Ipswich fans are cheering, To help us on our way, We'll play the ball and win the game, It's going to be our day

Ipswich, Ipswich kick that ball, Won't you get that goal for me, Gimme, Gimme Ipswich Town, Going to make some history, Ipswich Ipswich, Ipswich get that goal, Won't you win that cup for me, Ipswich, Gimme, Gimme Ipswich Town, The best at Wember-ley, Ipswich Der duh duh, Der duh duh,

Der duh duh, Der duh duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh, Der duh duh duh

Were going to be the Champions, We'll gun those Gunners down, And carry off the FA Cup, Back to Ipswich Town So come on everybody, And give your everything, Clap your hands and stamp you feet, And everybody sing

Ipswich, Ipswich kick that ball, Won't you get that goal for me, Gimme, Gimme Ipswich Town, Going to make some history, IPSWICH Ipswich, Ipswich get that goal, Won't you win that cup for me, IPSWICH, Gimme, Gimme Ipswich Town, The best at Wember-ley, IPSWICH

Super-blues, Are just the best, Super-blues, Well beat the rest, Super-blues, Are just the best

Ipswich, Ipswich kick that ball (get that goal), Won't you get that goal for me, IPSWICH Gimme, Gimme Ipswich Town (win that cup you see), IPSWICH

Ipswich, Ipswich kick that ball, Won't you get that goal for me, Gimme, Gimme Ipswich Town, Going to make some history, IPSWICH Ipswich, Ipswich get that goal, Won't you win that cup for me, IPSWICH, Gimme, Gimme Ipswich Town, The best at Wember-ley, IPSWICH

Genius! There is also another version with differecnt lyrics released around the time of our EUFA cup win of '81 this time eulogising various players: 'Warky moves like lightning, Whymark's on the mark' etc.

Unfortunately at the moment our club insists on playing a godawful sub-Quo cover of, inevitably, 'Singing the Blues'. No other team with a blue kit has ever used that one before. The club recently tried to 'jazz it up a bit' by sampling the chorus, time-stretching it to a fast house tempo and added a pumping 4-2-the-floor beat and repeating non stop for 10 minutes. Needless to say most people hated it and plans to use it before matches have been thankfully scr

What's a C**t?

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did he mean cunt?

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did you call me a cunt, you cunt?

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes

Cunty-, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes I did

Cunty-Caller, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You're a big cunty cunt. A dribbling, "ooh-where's-the-meat?"-style cunt, with all the cunty features of a flacid, gushing soda stream style mucky vulva that takes each and every opportunity to belch forth its tart ovu-froth onto the chins of each and every bleating male mouth.

Mr. Cunt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's more cunt than I can cope with at one sitting. hang on, shouldn't we be arguing about Sum 41 or something?

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No. You should be placed solidly between two fat femme legs bolting forth sex-froth out of your vicious quantuum-filament-style slit, you big booby-tube knockerbollocks cunty cunt twat, Twatty Matt!

Veracious Cunt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There have been some spectacular cunts in the history of planet Cunt. wars have been fought over Vulvae, some of which may have been all right for "a bit of a ride". None, however, compare to the syphilitic, effluent ridden, antiviral excuse of labia majora of which your face would entirely seem to consist.

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You cunt

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That doesn't stop you being a fish-spraying macro-cunt, you bulbous post-pelvic-bulge too-much-hair-and-the-stench-of-the-unwashed shite- o-cunt. You groin-o-slittage!

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I feel I have given me and Matt's post-pub cunt-o-slagfest away here

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Where is the guy that called me a cunt anyway?

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

However I'm quite proud of the phrase "you big booby-tube knockerbollocks cunty cunt twat"

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh well thems' the breaks

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We all are. Particularly your mum.

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh she loves people talking about minge. She's mad for minge.

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But where's the cunt that called me a cunt? I bet he's great at "computers"

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh he's off doing the do at Parsec Dynamics. Where I'm sure people occasionally talk about 'tuppence'.

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Spect so. He's still a cunt.

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The worst kind. The kind of slappery slippery dodeco-quim that would be ball-less enough to refer to you as cunt when you blatantly aren't

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've read your bastard replies you Scottish boy! We'll march over your head.

Max, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh go away you little man!

Lynskey, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Scottish boy as an insult? Well done, welll done....well done ) handclaps slowly)

Matt, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

when did ILM turn into a Peter Cook and Dudley Moore sketch?

Dave M., Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

God bless their souls

electric sound of jim, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pete & Dud that is. And I'm not really serious about the god bit

electric sound of jim, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

for my sins, i like the teen anthems swansea city thingy (c'mon, graham? alang? you going to back me up on this, its got helen love on the other side!)

otherwise, theres 'sunderland are back in the first division' from circa late 70s? may have been on that flare comp of footy songs, maybe. i'd love to hear that sunderland song again, the ipswich one wasn't bad either.

world in motion is good.

gareth, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

World in motion is the worst thing New Order ever did.

RickyT, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'Blue Is The Colour' is the only football song (until Wycombe invent one that is).

Jeff W, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"winning is our aim"!!

mark s, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You can't win em all by Brian Clough and Paper lace:

Hi It's Cloughie here, and football's my game.. But it's more than a game....It's responsible for bringing the people of the world together....It's a great equalizer...but remember..

You can't win em all, You can't win em all, Football's the game, I love most of all. But as everyone knows, That's how it goes. You can't win em all, You can't win em all.

Has anyone else heard this? it really has to be heard to be believed.

Kris England, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You say that you love me (say you love me) All of the time (all of the time) You say that you need me (say you need me) You'll always be mine (always be mine)

I'm feelin' glad all over Yes I'm-a glad all over Baby I'm glad all over So glad you're mine

I'll make you happy (make you happy) You'll never be blue (never be blue) You'll have no sorrow (have no sorrow) 'Cause I'll always be true (always be true)

And I'm feelin' glad all over Yes I'm-a glad all over Baby I'm-a glad all over So glad you're mine

Other girls may try to take me away (take me away) But you know, it's by your side I will stay I'll stay

Our love will last now (our love will last) Till the end of time (end of time) Because this love now (because this love) Is gonna be yours and mine (yours and mine)

And I'm feelin' glad all over Yes I'm-a glad all over Baby I'm glad all over So glad you're mine

Other girls may try to take me away (take me away) But you know, it's by your side I will stay I'll stay

Vince Hilaire, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"World In Motion" is not "Face-Up", RickyT.

Dan Perry, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

search: the official colourbox world cup theme.

dbini, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Search: Umbabarauma by Jorge Ben. In fact most of the songs on the Africa Brasil album are about football. Search: previous thread on this subject.

Daniel, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, Dan, it's even worse

RickyT, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Search: The German National Football Team w/ the Village People, "Far Away in America", 1994.

Colin Meeder, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Search: Dominick's "Football Story". Any record produced by Prince Jammy and toasted by a strange QPR fan with lines like "remember Peter Osgood and Alan Hudson" is OK by me.

Tim, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you" sung like a cat being stuffed ass-first into a meat-grinder is patently worse than a bunch of soccer players chanting about England.

Dan Perry, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If only that were all it was, Dan. You forget that it also features John Barnes rapping and Keith Allen being all round horrible.

RickyT, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Some of my many favourite football records: Sharp As A Needle (among others) by Barmy Army, Goal or Romario by Depth Charge, Strachan by the Hitchers, We Stand Around by I Ludicrous, Roger Milla by Pepe Kalle, Pam Pam Cameroon by Macka B, Siyiya In France by Joe Mafile, Highlanders by Zexy Manatsa & the Green Arrows, Tornados Vs. Dynamos by the Real Sounds, Albania, Albania by Alexei Sayle and of course Substitute by the Who.

Martin Skidmore, Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

one year passes...
does anyone have a copy of the sunderland record i mention above?

gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 18:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I THOUGHT THIS THREAD WAS ABOUT FOOTBALL RABBIT :*(*((*
