Have the football songs done anything through the tournament?

8. Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline

19. Gala- Freed From Desire

28. David Baddiel, Frank Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions

38. Becky Hill & David Guetta- Remember

62. Joy Crookes - Feet Don't Fail Me Now

63. Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa-One Kiss

91. Queen- Don't Stop Me Now

 

I was wondering if we might see 'Three Lions' making an appearance again - hasn't made any waves earlier in the tournament but of course us actually winning is quite a big deal.

So what is Freed From Desire have to do with the Euros then?

It's been a popular football song for a while, similar to 'Sweet Caroline' it's not directly about football but has just become associated with it.

Aside from it being a popular song at matches it was played yesterday just after they lifted the cup :wub:

So what is Freed From Desire have to do with the Euros then?

I *think* football fans change some of the lyrics to "Your defense is terrified" or something and that's the part that gets chanted the most during games etc..

They mention the player e.g. 'Beth Mead's on fire. Your defense is terrified'. to the tune of 'Freed From Desire'.

I know it's obviously lyrically appropriate but 'Feet Don't Fail Me Now' seems a pretty obscure song to be adopted as a football anthem - unless I'm missing some other connection?

No rhyme or reason to what gets adapted into football songs - I’m sure nobody expected a stadium full of men to be belting out Atomic Kittens ‘Whole Again’ last year.
