What official England footie song is superior? World in Motion isn't exactly amenable to drunken crowd singing.

The number of viewss is a gauge as to how popular a particular video is, not how good it is.

It was released at least a gazillion times. (Or maybe it just felt like that...)

I was a bit tipsy when I started this thread two years ago 
And ironically I don’t particularly have strong opinions of them and their music in the cold light of day
Anyway a few weeks ago, a mate offered me a ticket to see the Lightning Seeds with him in Bristol tonight.
So I will close the circle on this thread. Oh Lucky Me!

The only Broudie related music I own, is this belter from 1985, produced by himself. Also features Steve Wickham on fiddle.

I scanned the thread as being about The Lighthouse Family. Not sure which band is worse TBF.

Changing the facts
Back in 1980-blahblah when they were doing a world tour, my then-partner had some kind of family connection to Ian Broudie and took me to see them in London. Was nearly grinding my teeth with boredom by the halfway mark.
Some months later, I was in NY and got invited to something associated with my partner, and it turned out to be a group outing to a fabulous meal followed by a trip to see the fucking Lightening Seeds. They'd saved this information as a surprise, so I was trapped in a taxi when I discovered the dread truth.
I knew my face would betray my feelings so opted to step away from the group during the set. At about the same half-way point as my teeth had started to crumble at the London show, one of the people I knew from the group came over and shouted in my ear "You're being really rude! You're being miserable! Show some enthusiasm! What's the problem?"
On this invitation to share my views, and being at the limit of my tolerance, I couldn't help myself from shouting back "They're the worst band in the world right now!" and launched into what I recall as a fluent witty take down.
I was not invited to the aftershow.

I could quite happily never hear Three Lions ever again, but I don't mind a bit of Life Of Riley, or Change or Lucky You now and again.
I'm supposed to be seeing them in December. Not all that bothered about it, I saw them last year supporting Madness and they were fine but not exactly mind blowing entertainment. For me they're the occasional half decent pop tune that I don't mind hearing on radio 2 or something. That's about it.

I once endeared myself to about 10,000 fans of The Darkness by proclaiming them the worst band on the planet.
You can get away with that shit on the Internet. Said directly to the Reading Festival crowd who've just enjoyed them? Not so much.
I don't drink anymore and am consequently still alive.

Gig report
Brodie has his pension in the form of football songs. Is he perhaps just a lucky busker who made it big. Life of Riley is better, my mate shouted to me “what a screamer from Le Tissier” during the chorus which made me chuckle
The low key energy of his songs matches his stature. Some of the new ones were ok but perhaps because they hadn’t become annoyingly over familiar.
I spotted all of the below to complete my I-Spy Britpop Haircuts book. Will be sending my book to big chief I spy for a merit badge
Next week… Ocean Colour Scene

Urban75's lack of empathy for ordinary people who remember Big In Japan
I remember them from a compilation album called To The Shores Of Lake Placid.
Curious to know if anyone else remembers this album, when I was about 20 I thought it was one of the best things I'd ever heard although it's fair to say Big In Japan were perhaps not the highlight.

TBF the intro to this is an absolute corker - the rest of the song, not so much.
I thought I'd seen them live but realise I was confusing them with Cast, which does not say a great deal about either band.

Klaatu. Barada. Nikto.
I bought the "Change" CD single as it had that instrumental as one of the extra tracks and I still love it.
And Matt Le Tissier may be a conspiracy theorist idiot now, but fuck me what a player he was. Surely Saints' best ever (Shearer wasn't there long enough to qualify).
