World Cup latest

It all seems a bit strange around here at the moment?
The England flags are disappearing one by one from houses and cars up our street, there aren't any kids outside playing football in their new England strips, there has only been a few sirens heard flying past on the nearby main road less than a normal Sunday for some reason?
Everyone appears to be in a state of shock or more likely have all gone to the local seafront to lap up the sunshine on one of the hottest days this year while getting completly plastered and planning tonight's riots.
I don't have a German car so it might still be in one piece tomorrow, an I'm far enough away from the pubs and supermarkets so my house windows will hopefully survive.

Oh well another World cup over.

Edit:
The rant and other opinions moved to an upcoming footie blog as I've calmed down now.

Various - England Songs 2010

Every World Cup we get a selection of England songs, some are good and lots are bad this year is no exception, Here are 20 I've found this time, the Good the Bad and the Ugly.
The Good - Skatoons, We are Scientists and maybe Rik Mayall and a few others.
The Bad - The Competition, The Squad and many others
The Ugly - Terry Venables murdering an Elvis classic.

There are a few that grow on you with a few listens, but chances are you'll only listen to them until England get knocked out anyway, hopefully I'll still be playing them after July 11th, enjoy it while it lasts.

New Order - (The Best Of) New Order

Titled the best of New Order but I don't agree, personally I would expect the originals of songs like Blue monday and true faith rather than the later remixes but that's my opinion.
Don't get me wrong this is an excellent compilation of New Order's back catalogue and includes most of the finest songs of their first 14 years.
I still have the vinyl version of this which was one of the last new vinyl albums I bought before finally going down the CD route.
Also it has the classic "world in motion" at track 16 as it's world cup time again.

01 - True Faith 94
02 - Bizarre Love Triangle 94
03 - 1963 94
04 - Regret
05 - Fine Time
06 - The Perfect Kiss
07 - Shell Shock
08 - Thieves Like Us
09 - Vanishing Point
10 - Run 2
11 - Round And Round 94
12 - World (Price Of Love)
13 - Ruined In A Day
14 - Touched By The Hand Of God
15 - Blue Monday 88
16 - World In Motion

Baddiel Skinner And The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions 98

The World cup is here again, and for some reason we don't have an official England song? so here's one of the best of the old ones includes the 98 version plus the original.
Have listened to this years efforts and haven't found any as good as these so here it is while we're still in the Cup (give Greeny a break, the other 10 should have scored more goals and it wouldn't have mattered).

Sad also as I had my England rant ready for all my American facebook "friends" and couldn't really post it :(
John Wayne, Neil Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Mike Tyson, Marilyn Monroe, Barack Obama - can you hear me, Barack Obama Your boys took one hell of a beating! .... Your boys took one hell of a beating!!
If only....

01 Three Lions '98
02 Tout Est Possible
03 Three Lions (Original Version)
04 Three Lions '98 (Karaoke Version)

New Order - Round And Round

Another New Order single for you, this one came from a boot sale.
The B side is I'm guessing the theme tune for the George Best and Rodney Marsh TV show that was around at the time, two ex footballers who showed clips and talked about footie with the audience (any Americans who read this might remember them as they were playing in the states during the late seventies in the NASL which tried to introduce the Americans to "soccer".

Round And Round
Best And Marsh

England New Order - World In Motion

The Greatest football song ever released.
I was a huge New Order fan at the time and considering how bad every previous England song had been before it didn't have much competition.
18 years later and it's still a great song even if you're not a footy fan.
Included is the B-side cleverly titled "The B Side" with an alternate version of the main tune and also Keith Allen's dodgy John Barnes impression and some "rapping" by the other less talented England players.

A - World In Motion
B - The B Side

VA - Club Hits 97/98 (Soundtrack To A Season)

Collapsed Lung were an Essex hip-hop band who will probably only be remembered for this track, which got a lot of air play and a chart position around the 1998 world cup.
Also used on a few adverts it is guaranteed to turn up on all future footie related compilations.
