There's been some greats over the years and some absolute horrendous tracks too. Not limited to World Cup single releases but any track that you've enjoyed or has made you smile (or maybe you detest) can be offered up here as long as it has some kind of link. Come on, give me your World Cup related songs!

Here's mine;

Bears Den - Think of England

Loved this from Italia '90

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqzz7B7V2IE

quite liked 86 too, as it's the first one I properly got into. Spain 82 was more sporadic passing interest.

There's only one.

Purely for John Barnes rap.

This from 1978.

Possibly THE worst WC song ever from 78.

 Up uintil quite recently, I'd still listen to this every couple of years....

 It seemed to sum up a certain trait of Englishness... that went with Brexit.

As those philostines at the FA have failed with an official song this year, Duggee has come up with this catchy number...

Will only really mean something if you have kids under c.6..... :D :D

Actually more seriously this usually gets a play every 4 years....

I'd forgotten all about that Horlock. Chooon.

How did that go with Brexit it was released in 1998!

As I said, I used to listen to it, but stopped 2 years ago. To put it simply Vindaloo represents fun Englishness... no fun in Brexit.

Bit of culture for you plebs

Typical BBC, repeats...

Yes Audrey check the previous TV schedule...this isn't +1 ;)

Think he is more UK Gold than BBC.

Ffs. Sorry guys.

 I liked this Beeb effort from 1994....

 Apart from Holland v  Brazil about the only memorable thing from a terrible WC.

This beauty from the Yanks

Jeeebbbuuuusssss! That's worse than probably any Eurovision entry I've seen. That's it. Close the thread!  :suicide:

All I remember was Diana Ross' wonderfully* executed goal at the opening ceremony.

John Aldridge showing you take the Scouser out of Liverpool, and dress him in a green shirt, but you can't take Liverpool out of the Scouser...

It was lost amongst the popularity of Three Lions but back in ‘96 I was an advocate for England’s Irie...

A classic, nice to see Joe Strummer.....  England....well it's the best kept village in Europe  :)

That's where Madeleine McCann is!!

It's all about keeping the ball out of the the 'danger box zone'....Phil Brown must know of this immediately... someone send word as a matter of urgency...

I wonder if that was Joe's only Top of the Pops appearance as The Clash refused to do it?
I clearly remember Pans People dancing to Bankrobber in masks!

This is the best one. I went to the 98 world cup. Rolled into St Omer and the England coach was there. Wanged this up on the cd, and the England players were thumbs up. All went downhill from there though, as I got shitfaced and ended up watching the game in a french bar, When I got back to the campsite a squirrel or some other such mammal had eaten half the tent. Handy for flicking fag ash out though.

No, no, no, no! The most memorable thing was Saudi Arabia goal vs Belgium

I was behind the goal watching the drama unfold.

I get nostalgic when watching the BBC opening for France '98.

"Shouldn't you be at work?"

 I quite liked this effort....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZLyoBNCJek

Not a true classic, but OK, the vid is fun for playing England fan cliche bingo.  A bit like the team of the day, OKish and generally inoffensive.

Three lions ‘98
Vindaloo
Three lions (original)
World in motion
We’re on the ball

In that order

this time 1982

Don't know how to post you tube links but you have to check out the official 1962 World cup anthem.Proper good

This?

When on Youtube (phone/PC/Lappo) click on the "curled over" arrow (may even say SHARE next to it), below where the video is playing. It'll pop up with the site icons of AssBook, Titter, Goggle Eyes+, Boober, Raggit, etc. Below them will be a text link of that song with COPY next to it. Click that.

Come back here, right click your mouse/touchpad or press and hold for about a second and then select paste from the box. Not sure if you need to do it on here but if you type [ url] <<insert link>> [/ url]  without the spaces in the brackets. Whack the link between it and you should end up with the embedded youtube post on here.

Yeah that's the one PV.Starts as if it's gonna be a hmhb song then turns into rockabilly.I think it's bloody brilliant
