Football songs

[kekita]

hey didn't see any thread like this up except one for the Embrace song ( which i just heard-- from all the negative i was glad to find it was actually a good song)

So what's your countries football song? it would be nice to hear them/see them :)

i know i'm gona get slagged for this but my all time fav would have to be the Ricky Martin
song The Cup of Life.

In Australia football is called soccer (hopefully we'll come around)
And there was this program called "song for the socceroos"
the public wrote songs and performed them leading to just one song being chosen
by judges and the public.

Freedom of Thoughts "Green and Gold" won. i really like it cause its Hip Hop and you can bounce to it check out a snippet of it here

Thought the federation has gone back to calling the game Football in Oz (Football Federation Australia), same in NZ now (Football New Zealand) I think only the US calls in soccer now.

Sorry, I am a trainspotter.

[kekita]

^ i heard something about that

but what i mean is that away from conference rooms people still
call it soccer.

so what's NZ football song?

omg ... we've got a song from Herbert Grönemayer who's a german singer. i don't like him cause the way he's singing is just plain weird.
but my favourite footie song of all times prolly is that Three Lions song ... i love it ;)

and the most hated one prolly is that stupid Love Generation song by Bob Sinclair ... my ears are still fucking bleeding :(

[Gitta Rensolo]

Oh there are many football songs in germany these days...I think the official one is "Zeit, dass sich was dreht" by Herbert Grönemeyer....another one is "54-47-90-2006" by Sportfreunde Stiller....these are just examples...I don't like them that much...typical football songs I'd say..hehe

[burningmonk]

Aren't Il Divo doing the song this year?

German World Cup Songs...

- Bob Sinclair Feat. Goleo - Love Generation (God, I hate it! Radio stations are playing it over and over again)
- Herbert Grönemeyer - Zeit, dass sich was dreht (just awful)
- Oliver Pocher - Schwarz und weiß (it's always playing when Germany will score a goal)
- Sportfreunde Stiller - '54, '74, '90, 2006 (my favourite; it was so amazing at "Rock am Ring" :nice:)

well that sportis song is pretty cool since it's got a cool background ... we just have to win this year ... mathematical formulas are never wrong ;)

The new English one by Embrace is rubbish, then again what do you expect from a rubbish band. In fact there has only ever been one good English football song. World in motion by New Order. Any song that has John Barnes rapping is alright by me.

[bedofroses]

^^^ i dont mind that embrace one too much actually....
but i think englands football song will always be three lions plan and simple

[The Faceman]

Yeah that would be my second choice. I just think that world in motion is awesome because it's such a good pop song that you can listen to whenever. There could be no football for months and I'd still whack it on. To tell you the truth I can't remember the last time that I listened to 3 lions.

Exactly... :nice:

54 X 74 - 1990 = ... 2006 :cool:

^lol

isn't bob sinclair a french guy?

[bedofroses]

oo i agree...that world in motion song is lovely...yes you could put it on anytime...definately.

[mc_squared]

Yes - "World In Motion" is the best-ever "football" song. "Three Lions" was great too until it was "stolen" by Germany and the words were changed - this should never have been allowed!:(
Embrace's song is OK as a song, but as a football song it sucks, as it's too dull.
Football songs should have a simple melody that makes you want to sing along, and the Embrace tune doesn't have this.
That's why the fans are much more likely to be singing "Is This The Way To Win The World Cup" (Tony Christie), "We're Gonna Win The Cup" (sung to the tune of "Hurry up 'arry, come on (we're going down the pub") and "Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Jürgen Klinsmann?" (sung to the tune of Dad's Army)!!:D
That last one's pretty funny!!

There's also a remix floating about of "From Paris to Berlin", called "From LONDON to Berlin (we're gonna win the world cup)"!!

[.sally.]

^ world in motion is a lot better than three lions in my opinion... I don't like world at your feet


anyway our World Cup song hymna (anthem) is just horrible, it's a rap by some guy gimma

[mc_squared]

Maybe - but unfortunately HE is singing it!!:P

Anyway, the song of THAT world cup (France '98) was Dario G - "Carneval De Paris". That was both vibrant and memorable. It went down a storm in the clubs.

[julimp92]

Maybe - but unfortunately HE is singing it!!:P

A remix of quite possibly the worst song to be released in the past 12 months. Why do the record companys torture us so?

"Who do you Think?" is worth hearing, though!!

[The Faceman]

Yeah, I heard Geoff Hurst singing it on the news the other day. It seems to be the best out of all of the newer ones. They should just release World in Motion every 4 years.
