World Cup songs

[MrMetroid]

Do you listen to any World Cup songs?



I find England's ones really awful. I've listened to a few Scotland World Cup songs and in my opinion they're so bad they're good. My favourtie is Ally's Tartan Army (Scotland's 1978 World Cup song)

K'naan - Waving Flag (someone said it was a world cup song)

^ Now that should have been the official WC song. But nooo, the talented and sexy Shakira gets Waka Waka in its place.

That song made no sense

That song made no sense

I'm guessing it's a cultural focus, because everyone (especially South Africans) can dance and relate to that song in some way, while only Americans and a couple of others would be able to enjoy 'Wavin' Flag'

Isn't K'naan from South Africa

Isn't K'naan from South Africa

Nope, Wikipedia says he's Somalian.

This is another one of my favourites (Scotland's 1998 World Cup Song):





I love it because it mocks the fact that us Scots can't get past the group stage despite doing it 8 times
