From the positively optimistic ‘Don’t Come Home Too Soon’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T68AXsUAEI

to the incomprehensible ‘We’re on the Ball’ - which might still be the least bad recent one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoMhkYlS33c

to the unofficial but somehow brilliant ‘Wavin’ Flag (Coca Cola Celebration Mix)’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoMhkYlS33c

to Ninpo’s video of the National
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIYj4R-TeT8

Music plays a massive role in making World Cup’s memorable.

Post the weirdest ones nobodies heard, your favourites, any new ones that have been released. Argue about which ones best and realise it’s definitely Wavin’ Flag.

If you can’t be bothered with that, marvel at the track listing for the 2006 Album and try to guess #1 and #2 without cheating. #1 was the anthem.



  • "Your Song" - Elton John
  • "Thank You" - Dido
  • "Woman in Love" - Barbra Streisand
  • "Because Of You" - Kelly Clarkson
  • "Truly Madly Deeply" - Savage Garden
  • "Why" - Annie Lennox
  • "Just the Way You Are" - Billy Joel
  • "Hero" - Mariah Carey

In the video there’s a clip of Ronaldo helping Cavani off the pitch from 2018 that they’re trying to pass off as friendliness and being ‘better together’, which is clearly not that.

According to Wikipedia this is the oldest World-Cup-associated song, and you should get a trophy for that

I like Wavin Flag but it annoyed me when I realised they straight up put the Coca-Cola jingle in there for the remix.

Anyway Waka Waka is a banger too

And of course

I liked the Manic Street Preachers one for Wales but that was for Euro 2016 so it doesn't count. They still have a lot of the same players though so maybe they could remake it. You can even sing "Ethan Ampadu" to the tune of "Hal Robson-Kanu"

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I kind of get Cahill (and Bosnich) being mentioned since it's an Australian song, but Alexei Lalas is definitely only in because nothing else rhymes with Gallas

I was thinking about making this exact thread op! But I'm lazy and glad you made it instead.

I present to you: footballers singing the world cup song.

This was Belgium's song for the 1982 World Cup in Spain. Titled "The Red Devils go to Spain". Just look how comfortable they all are with singing a song, pwhoar, is there anything they can't do??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jqb0rWLpiE

This was Belgium's song for the 1994 World Cup in the USA. This was before autotune was a thing, but our boys didn't need that!
Franky Vanderelst, Filip Dewilde and others, just knocking it out of the park.

i feel really stupid but i've never noticed this. by coca-cola jingle do you mean, like, "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke"? the lyrics/vocal melody in the celebration mix is different than K'naan's original but i don't really hear the similarity
