Some of the lyrics leave alot to be desired but it sounds good. I could imagine drunkenly singing along with this song after a good result on the 18th! Not a bad effort at all. Alot better than the embarrassing 'Here Come the Good Times' of WC '02!

its cheesy, its simple lads, but these need to be that way.

The lyrics are horrible but its upbeat and quick, its got a good vcv guitar structure though. ID like to see the song redone with better lyrics, which it might be done if we beat france.

Cant go wrong with tour a loo etc etc, but the lyrics in this effort are fairly poor.

Out of curiousity why does a topic about the Irish team in a video game get flamed and locked but a song about the Irish team is a perfectly valid discussion point? :rolleyes:

That is fuvking shocking. End of.

And why the need to mention Stephen Ireland and Andy Reid? And the chorus also relates just to the french?

Not great...I think anyone on this thread could do better, and I doubt many are in the music business.

That said, I wonder could anyone on here do better? Maybe we should try? Come up with lyrics, then someone write the music...

Worth a go anyhow.

Criminal. This is the same crowd who did that ridiculous 'Oirish' Barack Obama song. Should be ashamed of themselves for their stage Irishness.

most football songs have rubbish lyrics... think that song is a bit of craic though, catchy enough too

It lacks the school class of 5 year olds in full uniform giving it laldy - just to give it that authenticity.

I watched that through squinting eyes - cringeworthy. Catchy tune tho.

I've never understood why some of the old trad songs aren't adapted for football, they are generally catchy and made for singing along to. Too ra loo ra loo. too ra loo ra lay,,,too ra loo ra loo too ra loo ra lay.
Ride on, sung by the whole place at A Christy gig makes your hair stand on end too. my beautiful horse indeed!
Plenty of songs could be adapted think of all those Dubliners singalongs.

Failing that theres always the Chris De Burgh classic "ladies in green"

I'm going to try to do up an old Pogues tune. I only know four or five chords so it might be even worse than this song.

punkrocket

26/10/2009, 9:23 AM

Yes, The Pogues could do a job all right, streams of whiskey would be good, a man you dont meet every day could be done for Trap.
Maybe the Green fields of France could be reworked for the playoffs

Whats worse was they covered their own song to pay tribute to Ronan O Gara.

...who covers their own song? :confused:

The Pogues did release "Jack's Heroes" in 1990 with the Dubliners. A smashing video to go along with it as well filmed in Tolka Park. By the Pogues standards its not a classic but it's streets ahead of the Corrigans.

Jaysus they were all looking a lot fitter in 1990 - hard to believe almost 20 years.

I'm writing something (well trying) and the thing is it has to have a catchy sing-along shorus, everything else is immaterial. The simplest/laziest way is to take an established song and re-write the lyrics, but it needs to be simple simple simple, I can't over emphasise this!

Toura loura loura la
toura loura loura loni
let's take it to the French
here's to Trappatoni

AMusing but not enough to get the pulse racing when singing it at the ground.

Next please...

For any punk fans out there there was a great World Cup CD in 2002 by a band called The Studs - the review from the Sunday Business Post is below. I have the songs on my computer so will try to post them somewhere tonight for a broader audience.....

"Dub songs
There's always one football song that the drunken masses end up singing every time the World Cup comes around. And this one could be it -- although it is more remarkable for its honesty than for its catchiness.
The single We Won't Win the World Cup was released yesterday by Dublin rockers The Studs.
The other two songs on the CD are: Mick McCarthyism, an examination of the interpenetration of football and politics, and Sitting in an Irish Bar Watching England Losing, a complex study of the psyche of the Irish soccer supporter.
A verse on the title track goes: `We're all off to the World Cup again/Mick'll have the lads in bed by 10/A 12-hour flight but we've no fear/We'll all be tanked up on beer'.
The Studs tell us that Mick McCarthyism started life as a song about "the joys of camogie", but was overhauled dramatically when the band came across an "extraordinary revelation" -- they discovered that the Irish soccer manager's name rhymed with `Communist Party'.
The band says Sitting in an Irish Bar Watching England Losing is not an anti-English song, but quite the opposite. It's a celebration of our dislike of the English soccer team."

Pretty shocking stuff that tune is. Let's hijack three lions and call it three leaf clovers on a shirt or something sh*t like that.

Eat my Goal is the best football song and no country has used that. Maybe we can hijack that.

Well the only thing I got in that 1 minute I'll never recover is that they are definetely brothers. May they never ever make a cent out of that for its truly awful.

I know there's a recession but surely that needs sensoring and should never ever be allowed near a human ear again unless as a form of torture. It could be used when John Delaney is finally tried for crimes against football in this country to glean a confession from him.

Excellent !!

When drunk, I sing this to the tune that Liverpool fans use for 'Campione'.

"Oh Trappatoni, the one and only, Italian
Some people say he's ancient he's not got it anymore
But he's better than Capello, he's the one that we adore,
Oh Trappatoni"
Etc etc until I'm told to shut up.

Good God that was woeful ... and now I cant get the tune out of my head!

Yep that tune was by the same bucks that brought you
"O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara ... Theres no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama"

I believe it was a once-off recording by a few friends for the World Cup in 2002. Careers and family commitments mean they haven't produced anything since AFAIK.
