I would have thought that “Three Lions” would have been higher than 8th…

World Cup songs tend to land somewhere between the toe-curlingly awful, the fantastically misguided, and the bigoted. We’ve chosen 10 of the most memorable, taking you down memory lane with lyrics from the records we never dare admit we bought.1. Vindaloo – Fat Les (unofficial England song 1998)
(amid the nah-nah-nahs) “Me and me Mum and me Dad and me Gran/We’re off to Waterloo/Me and me Mum and me Dad and me Gran/And a bucket of Vindaloo/ Vindaloo, vindaloo/Vindaloo, vindaloo, vindaloo, nah-nah.”2. Ally’s Tartan Army – Andy Cameron (unofficial Scotland song 1978)
“We’re on the march with Ally’s Army/We’re going to the Argentine/And we’ll really shake them up, when we win the World Cup/Because Scotland is the greatest football team.”3. Back Home – England World Cup squad (official England song 1970)
“Back home/They’ll be watching and waiting and cheering every move/Back home/Though we think we’re the greatest/That’s what we’ve got to prove.”
