World Cup Theme Song

[SeamUp]

Up - Down Yes-No for the World Cup Theme song ?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I'm pretty sure this song is about the Cold War. So I'm giving it 8/10.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Turned it off after less than a minute. Awful.

 

[Athlai]

"And I say ohhhh"

Really thought I was hearing some kind of weird "impossibruuu"

I quite like it.

On closer inspection this appears to be a song about Peter Ingram killing the Firebirds in the 4th innings in 2009.

The cricket song is mentioned regarding cricket world cup 2015, as the fewer of world cup is on all over.

 

[cnerd123]

I love this song. Excellent pick.

Same here hahaha

Don't really like it as a song but it's sort of a catchy tune for a 1 and a half minute world cup advert.

Does anyone have a link to the theme music of 1999 WC?

For a song associated with a global sports tournament, this is by far the best since John Barnes' rapping exploits on World In Motion by Englandneworder.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Turned it off after less than a minute. Awful.

Hey look buddy we aren't talking about England's innings here.

 

[Jono]

It's great imo and the promo ads are awesome too. That McCullum and Mitch ad is brilliant.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Can't understand a word in the song but I like it.

 

[SkyBlue]

The Indian promo though,this whole 'wont give it back' thingy is a bit cringeworthy imo.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

It's pretty off-centre by event theme standards. I actually listened to it the whole way through. Like Hozier mixed with Bittersweet Symphony.

 

[BigBrother]

It's pretty good. I quite like it.

Can't understand a word in the song but I like it.

That's kind of what lyric vids are for you know.

Life is a carnival! Can't find a clip online unfortunately, but it features prominently in the highlights DVD - complete with its random Beethoven interlude.

 

[Antihippy]

Works pretty damn well with the ads.

Yea the short version (1 min odd clip) of the song which used to play before the start of every game is not available online. I guess its pretty much the first minute of this video though.
