on todays show (thursday 8th) chris mentioned that it had beeen reported that Blazin Squad were going to be doing the England Theme?

WHAT THE F*CK! Seriously!

Any thoughts on what the hell the FA are playing at?

(and yes i did here the bit two seconds after saying the blazin squad might not be doing it)

[Ahh_Pathetic]

its the biggest hint yet that joe cole and scott parker will be in the england squad.

[Sheep]

Yea i heard that too, and was shocked too, i think the best one was three lions by david baddiel and that other dude

[Aaron]

Frank Skinner is the other dude and the euro 96 one was better that the world cup 98 version

[Sheep]

They did 2versions didnt they?

[Aaron]

Yes, why I said euro 96 version was better than 98 version.

[iSeb]

They did 2versions didnt they?

Frank Skinner is the other dude and the euro 96 one was better that the world cup 98 version

Sounds like it, doesnt it?

[Golden Syrup]

makes sense after that ant and dec crap in 2002

[Uglybob]

they thought it was a vulva

remember that line

[Sheep]

Well yea, anyway i think they should use three lions again

[Golden Syrup]

i think we do need a new one... but not sung by blazin squad

[silvergull]

Seein how Germany have adopted 3 lions, i very much doubt Badiel skinner and the lightening seeds will re-release it.

Fat Les is doing a new one though.

[Quincy]

mince pie sausage roll,
come on england score a goal,
ohhh, we got a corner.

[iSeb]

2,4,6,8 who do we apreciate, brazil, brazil....
No, no get it right, we supports the red white, ENGLAND... ENGLAND.

[Golden Syrup]

did it take you 8 days to come up with that line?

[MC]

Well at least it's not Blazin Squad...

Version of 1990 hit is England's new anthem

The FA has picked a version of the 1990 hit All Together Now by The Farm as England's official Euro 2004 anthem.

The tune has been remixed by Radio 1's DJ Spoony - and features additional vocals by a boys' choir from Liverpool.

Spoony played the track on Radio 1 this morning but it's not being released officially until May 31.

He said: "The song is a classic and I'm a massive England fan, so when the FA asked me to get involved, I couldn't believe my luck."

The Farm's Peter Hooton originally wrote the song about the Christmas Day truce during World War One, when British and German soldiers played football in No Man's Land.

He said: "The fact that the greatest game in the world had momentarily united the soldiers was the reason I wanted to capture the spirit of that day in the lyrics.

"It's a fantastic honour to have our song chosen to be the official England anthem."

It's a great record but I've never really seen it as any kind of football anthem. I also couldn't tell the difference from the original (bar a few commentary clips) when Spoony played it this morning on Scott Mills' show.

football anthem - hit for everton in 1995 when reworked

I am gutted. One of my favorite songs of all time, and they go and make it the bloody English Euro 2004 anthem. Being Scottish I have a natural hatred of the English football team.

In the words of Boyce, I - am - gutted.

I actually preferred the 98 version.

[Aaron]

I actually can't notice that much of a diference though, differnt players names get shouted out on the 98 version to the 96 version but thats all I noticed. Anymore?

The changed some of the lyrics.

I am going to be controversial and say I don't particularly like that song. I like some of their other stuff, but I guess I am just sick of this one.

[Aaron]

Anyone got a rough time of when this DJ Spoony All together now remix was palyed on Friday?

[David]

about quarter to 9.

[Aaron]

Thanks.
