I remember it used to be that every FA Cup final and every world cup there were always a bunch of awesomely terrible (with one or two exceptions) songs by football teams released.
Whatever happened to these?
When did they stop?
Whats the deal?
So is R&B. Awfulness is no barrier to music being made
Well that's different. Many like R&B and it sells well. I think most would agree that most footy songs apart from New Order and The Three Lions one were pretty naff.

There was a rather good one on TV tonight, written and sung by a young girl. Can't remember if it was on Notts TV, East Midlands Today or The One Show.

It was on 'The One Show'. The song was by 'Britain's Got Talent' finalist Gabz, who had a Top 10 single last year with self-penned song 'Lighters'.
I think the big England song has died in recent years because nobody has the delusion England can actually win an international tournament anymore and nobody respects or believes in the players anymore either cause we can see they're all overrated and overpaid. They don't do anything to deserve a inspiring song.
Back in the 90's and before then it was almost as if a great song like World in Motion or Three Lions on the Shirt seemed to lift the team and we could dare to dream England might actually win it on some of their performances. There seemed to be a real spirit back then. All gone now.
The best ones which are actually to do with football are Baddiel and Skinner then Fat Les. I remember afew years ago in Mexico on a night out in Coco Bongos (Nightclub in Cancun) they played the Fat Les song and all the English were all singing and dancing to it, the Americans looked truly horrified!!
Unofficial songs always seem appropriate especially with England's record - Chumbawamba tubthumping and Oasis stop crying your heart out spring to mind!!
As a side note, has anybody heard Scott Mills and 5SOS song? I actually quite like it. It's better than Gary Barlows pathetic remix of greatest day

Absolutely spot on post.
I remember back in 1996, 3 Lions would some on and the whole pub would erupt,singing along and waving their arms like they were on a football terrace. Nowadays, I doubt most would even bother putting their drinks down
World In Motion was a genuinely good song . That could have been a single even if the lyrics were changed. Same with Three Lions. Those songs were an exception to the rule though

With Ossie Ardiles sining in " In the cup for Tottenham" in an argentinian accent.:D:D:o
Its so bad its cringeworthy in a good way.;-)

Fast forward:an indie music companion to world cup 2010, which is a song by an artist from each of the countries involved
Offside by Drugstore, Brazilian singer making fun of English football
World cup by Yellow melodies, Spanish band singing about winning the world cup
I liked Ant and Dec "On the Ball"
Vindaloo - Fat Les will always be my fave
God bless you and the singer always!!!

Yeah, it was the official England song for the 2002 World Cup
It's quite an achievement though, to get a song released at the moment which isn't trashed by idiotic voice processing.
Here's a version without an annoying advert at the front of it.

That's right! I really must dig out the CD. It'll still be ok to play it this year I presume?
