This still checks all the boxes. :yuck:
John Barnes' rap is great. Keith Allen is an odious little toad prick.
I don't know shit about him other than he's Lily Allen's dad and the only thing I know about her is she did a cover of Straight to Hell that I'm not crazy about. What's his deal? His mugging in the video hasn't aged as poorly as everything else in the video.
Hello

Keith Allen by all accounts was a bit of a loose cannon and unpredictable, if you like a bit o' satire source:
The Comic Strip presents
The Yob (A Clockwork Orange mash up with The Fly) hilarious
And
Gino Full story and pics ( Newspaper sensationalism) pretty good
Also
The Crying game ( Paul Gascoign tribute. Scene stolen by a psychedelic Jimmy Twizzle right at the end) classic
Cheers
This is far too English for me to understand.
The way things are supposed to be. ;)

I did quite like this one as well...



And bonus points if you remember the b side...

Pitchfork referenced it in their World In Motion review: "The dreary official team song for the 1982 tournament, “This Time (We’ll Get It Right)”, even has a vague air of depression hanging over it—you can hear the sound of defeat sagging from the players’ voices. "

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Yet, if Pavement had recorded it, it'd be a solid 7.94.

The Comic Strips are great fun. Got the box set.
Absolute Classic :lol:

I don't get it? Is that another World Cup song? English culture can be so foreign sometimes.

No, just a great song .
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Sympathies to all my Limey friends (plus Heston :shifty: ), but congratulations on making it to the semis. Take comfort that all those Croatians will end up on war crime at The Hague soon enough.
