Ever seen something that made you want to puke, and you put your hand up to your mouth only to broadcast the vomit between your fingers like a fertilizer spreader? Well I did when I saw Terry Venables singing "If I Can Dream", produced by the Sun with cameo appearances by Ian Wright and Harry Redknapp. It's only an advert at the moment, but with the Sun's backing it's bound to be released in time for the World Cup. Is it too late to become Dutch?

Someone is in the process of writing a World Cup song for twohundredpercent. Is, apparently, "approximately 40% Joy Division".

That's nothing, World In Motion was 75% Joy Division.

If dotmund is as musically gifted as he is artistic, then, well that's just not fair is it?
I would like to hear a pessimistic England World Cup song. Take the 'Come On England (you useless bunch of cunts)' theme and set it to music.

You can rest absolutely assured that Dotmund has no musical talent whatsoever.

This, by "Goals Aloud"
isn't actually that bad, once you've sat through it a couple of times. Certainly I could imagine the chorus catching on in the way that the similarly imaginative "It's Coming Home, it's coming home..." did.
It's by a couple of D-List celebrity local breakfast DJs and someone out of Brother Beyond, I think, and is backing the Help for Heroes campaign as well, so will certainly sell a few copies in the NW at least.

I was thinking about trying to write something like this last night but then I just got stuck singing "Crouchies having his nachos" to the tune of "For he's jolly good fellow".

How about something along the lines of the tune they whistled in "Bridge Over the River Kwai"?
"England, are gonna win the Cup
This time, please God don't cock it up..."
Can't do the rest of it. But Rooney rhymes with "loony".

How about, yet another, version of Jerusalem?
"And did those feet in modern times, fail to win penalty shoot-outs..."

I suggest that this, originally from 2006, should be appropriated and revived. A brilliant pisstake - both of football anthems and 'teutonic' electropop.
(P.S. - their 'Achtung Xmas!' is also excellent.)

How about this one featuring Mark E Smith, Fall singer and WSC reader.

Oh dear.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
The unofficial (and likely soon-to-be number 1 in the singles chart) is a lovely little ditty featuring Dizzee Rascal doing what he does over a cover of Tears for Fears' "Shout", then a chorus of James Corden bellowing "Come and Have a Go If You Think You're Hard Enough!".
Look for it on You Tube if you don't believe me.
I know Corden's only about 20, but for fuck's sake. "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!"?
Can even he think that it's funny to encourage loads of England fans to sing that in any context?

It's a pile of crap. 14 year old nobbas might like it.
How about Dizzy (c)rapping all over "When I'm Cleaning Windows" with Corden shouting "You're Gonna Get Your F**kin' 'ead Kicked In" over the top?

Love Dizzy, Hate Corden.
An awful song, and I agree about the questionable choice of lyrics in the context of an England song.
Still, if it does lead to mass riots at least we can blame Simon Cowell (he put the thing together) and Corden's World Cup show might get cancelled (I'm predicting it to be awful.)

To be fair, that's a bit like predicting that it's going to get dark tonight.

Corden the hypocrite. This from last March:
James Corden has claimed that he turned down the chance to record a song for the World Cup.
The Sun says that the comedian was approached to re-record New Order track 'World In Motion', but he said no because he is a big fan of the original.
"I thought, why do that? 'World In Motion' is the greatest song ever," he said. "What next, re-record 'Three Lions'? It's pointless. Those things have to happen organically, to come out of a feeling."
He added: "You can't try and manufacture a chant for the terraces or a song that a whole nation will adopt.

Must have been pissed off that Brand is the man of the moment. Linking up with Robbie Williams, movie out soon...
His revenge ? Taking the bread out of this kid's mouth:

He must have a very small music collection.
