World Cup Songs

Not one of the best know World Cup songs but it still has many fans and could be an outsider for best World Cup song.

Certainly one of the best and most well liked World Cup songs and probably John Barnes' best rap ever, including the Anfield Rap.

Sung by the 1982 World Cup side, the players obviously didn't take strong enough notice of their own lyrics.

Stan Boardman showcases his not so amazing singing ability in this parody for the 2006 World Cup.

Korea thought this song would inspire them to the same sort of heights as in 2002 where they reached the semi finals on home soil.. It didn't.

PJ and Duncan came out of musical retirement for We're On The Ball, using a popular football tune.

Not brilliantly received by England fans but grew on many people and not nearly as bad as some people make out.

Originally written for Euro 96, the song was such a big hit that it was rewritten for the World Cup in 1998.

The official Scotland song for World Cup 98 didn't have the required effect, Scotland couldn't have come home any sooner having finished bottom of their group.

Another effort for the World Cup in 1998, this time from Lily Allen's dad. It does well for catchiness but arguably doesn't have the most meaningful lyrics!
