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?

To be fair, it does now give anyone meeting him the green light to smack him in the mouth.

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.

To be fair, he hasn't manufactured it has he? He's just ripped it off from the 1970s (or latter day Dagenham & Redbridge)

That is the best footy song I've ever heard, even if the bloke in the FCUM shirt did sound (and look a bit) like Arthur Pewty.

Good, innit. Gets right in your head though. It smashed The Carpenters out, and now won't budge.

BBC Midlands Today had this bloke on, Ian Dyer - Think About England. It starts off okay, but then he starts thinking about war references like Spitfires and HMS Victory, which spoils it like it does with a lot of other England songs.
According to our local news programme, he's a reformed football hooligan. Not sure if that means that he doesn't do it any more, or that he's made out of ground up gristly bits in the same way that Bernard Matthews does with his Turkey Drummers, but with that on his criminal record (criminal record - geddit?...never mind) all he can do is think about England, because he's not allowed to go abroad and watch 'em.

Cowell - fresh from everyone having a bit of a chuckle at Joe McElderry not making Christmas No 1 and RATM getting there instead - has thrown an amount of largesse at buying the GBP back.

Hence the clinical and cynical suggestion of an 80s hit ("Shout"), a mainstream "comedian" (Corden) and a mainstream pop artist (Rascal) on his last weekend of Britain's Got Talent.

Upshot? Number One next week. On iTunes from Wednesday, and a surefire number one. You just watch.

He wasn't up against anyone though.

The people who buy the stuff he wants them to buy listen to Chris Moyles, think Tim Lovejoy is a football man of the people and that Peter Kay is a 'legend'.

You know, the general public.

I have driven myself close to insane listening to most of these tonight. I'm going to put twenty hours of white noise on my Ipod not, to try and suppress it all.

It even has you channelling Graham Taylor. Do I not like that.

George's grandad serving in the Boer War would have been more appropriate, don't ya think.
