The Official World Cup 2006 Soundtrack

May 18th, 2006 | By: Johnny | 4 Comments »

Instead of the dinky sing-along themes that so often come along at this time, here’s an open call for all of you to come up with songs that could be found on a soundtrack for the World Cup. Songs like ‘World In Motion’ by New Order are disqualified due to uber-nationalism inherent in the song. Ditto too obvious selections like “We Are The Champions” by Queen, or that crap song Ricky Martin did for France ‘98. So I went through my extensive collection and tried to come up with themes for handballs, breakaways, bench-warmers, strikers, free kicks, referees–see it for yourself and come up with more, please.

“Hit Me With Your Best Shot”-Pat Benetar
“I Don’t Need No Doctor”-Humble Pie
“Loser”-Beck
“(There’s Gonna Be A) Showdown”-Archie Bell & The Drells
“Attitude”-Bad Brains
“Beer”-The Reverend Horton Heat
“Down The Line”-Jerry Lee Lewis
“Kick Down The Door”-The Professionals
“Keep It Clean”-Camera Obscura
“Slowdive”-Slowdive
“Cool Drink Of Water”-The Gun Club
“You Win Again”-Charley Pride
“Sweet & Tender Hooligan”-The Smiths
“Two Sides Of The Coin”-KISS
“Learning The Game”-Buddy Holly
“We’re Gonna Move”-Elvis Presley
“Just Out Of Reach”-The Jesus And Mary Chain
“Over The Wall”-Echo & The Bunnymen
“Control (People Go Where We Send You Part 1)”-The JB’s
“Straight To You”-Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
“Corruption”-The Plasmatics
“One Big Rush”-Joe Satriani
“Substitute”-The Who
“Hands All Over”-Soundgarden
“Run Run Run”-Concrete Blonde
“I’m Hurtin’”-Roy Orbison
“I Just Wanna Have Something To Do”-The Ramones

Praise indeed, I thank you. Thought it’d be a lot more fun than ragging about Theo Walcott ad nauseum.

If you can tell all your friends about it that would be great. If you like you can interview us and take some pictures for your paper. Maybe we will become famous!!!

We just hope S.Korea can play even better this time and win the tournament!!! (Because of the time in difference with Korea many of the games will be screened in the early hours of the morning. So Wake Up for the World Cup! Is a good theme!)

Many thanks ZiNi
