Ah I forgot you're a jock, that explains your dislike for life in general

Tis shite tho, J89....

[Johnny 1989]

Hmm... Perhaps I need to have a rethink, entry removed now

[a-moron]

*Gets his big Saltire emblazoned pokey stick oot*

The song is utter gash and the line - 'we're singing for England (En-ger-land)' still riles me 20 years on.

*Puts away his big pokey stick*

Ah I forgot you're a jock, that explains your dislike for it then

Hoots 'mon. Ye' kidnae be mair wrang if you rubbed yirsel in irn-bru then decoratit yer bawbag wi thistles. The song is just pure pish.

I've removed the choice now, need to have a think as to what to put in (no songs about Arsenal though, especially not at the moment )

[Bonanzoid]

My original choice was taken, as was my first entry, so here's choice number 3.



Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting

[a-moron]

Sorry Mr Zoid but Bas had dibs on that at 09:36am. Don't think anyone has claimed 'Del Amitri - Don't come home too soon' though

[Bonanzoid]

Balls. That's what I get for skimming the thread. Here comes a cheeky edit. And I'm not using that Del Amitri filth!

[a-moron]

It was depressing shite that song wasn't it. Like if an episode of Eastenders could be transformed into musical audio form. That would be it ,that song would. Dreary Pish!

[Bonanzoid]

Exactly. The guy that wrote has been hounded by Scots because it's so depressing and pessimistic. Don't come home too soon? It basically accepts the fact we're going to be trout, which everyone knows but you still want your official song to stir some sort of optimism!

[a-moron]

Or at best not make you lurch into a coma.

Whit a bell-end he was. Big stupid sidey's as well.

Bad enough he shamed us with that pile o'wank he stoats about those big mutton chops stuck to his face. Now that's unforgivable.

[SAV1OUR]

God theres been some shite down the years, just cringed at Ant n Dec's 'We're on the Ball'.

Fat Les - Vindaloo

[Bas]

Bill Conti - Going The Distance

My choice this week:

TBA

(Was originally England New Order - World In Motion but others declared it shite)

Munki Bhoy's Celtic inspired choice + Johnny's aborted pick =

[Bonanzoid]

This is a song that has almost been ruined by sport, but when Bryn Terfel recorded it in a faithful fashion the dreadful Gerry and the Pacemakers version pales into the insignificance it truly deserves, and its just a beautiful song again.

Bryn Terfel singing You'll Never Walk Alone.

I may be biased in leaning towards the Gerry and the Pacemakers version as a Liverpool fan, but that version really is horrible.

[nade]

Gonna go with my first thought as soon as I read the GH title. Issue is that it's not really a song as such but more a theme tune: Going for gold

As in the Henry Kelly TV show or the Shed Seven song? (I can't see the vid.)

Unfortunately its the Henry Kelly thing.

Ah balls, forgot about the Shed Seven song. Think i'll do a edit of my post.

[Yudster]

I may be biased in leaning towards the Gerry and the Pacemakers version as a Liverpool fan, but that version really is horrible.

I think it depends on what your experience of the song is. For me, its a brilliant piece of Rogers and Hammerstein musical theatre, but realistically most people have never even heard of Carousel. Hence why for me, Gerry and the Pacemakers' version is an abomination and the bastardisation of it for the football terraces is worse. However, if you've grown up only really knowing the G&P version and with your experience of the song confined to football alone, then its fair enough that you would have no time for something a bit closer to the original intent of the writers!

[Johnny 1989]

Right does this one count:



Mark Knopfler - Going Home (Theme of the Local Hero)

This is one of the tracks Newcastle United play before they come out on the pitch, does that count or do I have to pick another?

[DevilsDuck]

MOTD theme tune - Will add video later...maybe

[Munki Bhoy]

I actually quite like World In Motion. Especially the rap.

And Three Lions actually.

I'd better hide before the other Scots here try and throw me out of the country now.

[Senninha25]

I don't know if this fits in, but since it was part of the BBC's coverage of the F1 2010 Season finale...

Btw, I was also going to post The Chain!!!

[John22]

Poll is up, didn't put up anything for DD as MOTD had already been chosen.

[nade]

Easy choice for me this round. Cannae beat a bit of kung fu.

[dimtimjim]

MOTD theme tune - Will add video later...maybe

Beat you to it yoof, sorry. Its THE sport related song.

[DevilsDuck]

I'm sure I heard a version of it where it was changed to "Don't leave home again" in some kind of bizarre effort to reverse the jinx of the song - after all, we haven't qualified for anything since we did "come home too soon".

Yousure it wasn't "Don't you dare come home"?
