Why Football Songs Are Crap

Why do people complain about the quality of England's football songs in the same way that music snobs complain about Eurovision? It's obvious that the songs are going to be rubbish, they're going to be sung by a bunch of hairy arsed blokes, who've skipped work, had too many lagers and just witnessed another pathetic England performance.

You can't expect something deep and meaningful at times like these, Vindaloo wasn't so much a victory cry as a cry for help. And has anybody actually listened to 'Three Lions'? Frank Skinner takes himself far too seriously trying to imitate some chicken in a basket cabaret crooner, at least his mate, who sounds flat as a witches tit, actually sounds like he's enjoying it.

  • More to the point why do we bother with an 'official song'. No one can be put under that kind of pressure and be expected to come up with something decent. Songs should all be unofficial, Bez has got one coming out apparently - half way through the tournament - well done Bez.
