Massive fight for the World Cup anthem

Sunday Jun 13, 2010

abThe World Cup can set off some people’s equilibrium due to the fact that it only happens every four years and is usually a situation that sorts who are the current pop stars of the sporting worlds with the major celebrities, minor celebrities, and comedians heading off to the competition in hopes that they will get the nod of the fans official World Cup anthem as the event rolls along.

More annoying is that music critics that usually devote their time to accepted valuable music such as Arctic Monkeys and The Fall are forced to turn their attention to less esteemed music causing the entire music scene to drop an octave as the most serious veterans as all have to sit through Hollyaoks or Terry Venables.

While it is hard to debate that music and football do indeed fit together well given the fact that stadium sing alongs are a large part of the community of England fans, but watching footballers grab the microphone to attempt their own versions is enough to make everyone turn a little red for the stars that seem to lack shame.

Back in the day, unless a rock n roll star such as Elton John happened to be rich enough to purchase their own team; rockers could care less about football.  However, now with the passing of the nineties everyone from Oasis to Posh Spice to The Lightening Seeds has help entwine the two to the point that now the two are inseparable; for good or bad.
