Sham 69: Back For The World Cup!
The ultimate footie anthem – it’s official and available for you to buy on June 12th!
Il Divo, Crazy Frog, Tony Christie and a bunch of builders… the line-up for this year's World Cup singles has hardly been much to write home about until…
Virgin Radio Breakfast Show DJ Christian O'Connell launched his search for a People's Anthem to accompany England's bid. The track that listeners jumped all over was Jimmy Pursey's adaptation of his Sham 69 hit 'Hurry Up Harry' now updated to 'Hurry Up England'.
The song was recorded with former-Blur member and now solo star in his own right, Graham Coxon who joined Sham 69's Jimmy Pursey on lead vocals for this recording.
It's already been receiving a whole lot of media attention from GMTV to Sky One' Soccer Six with The Star and Metro newspaper tipping it as their clear footie anthem favourite.
Christian said: 'We could not leave our national football anthem to the numbskulls at the FA. 'Hurry up England' is the perfect track for fans to belt out in the stands, in the pub or even at home in front of the telly. Unlike other football songs, this will truly be a single made by the fans, for the fans.'
It's available as a collectable 7" Picture disc and CD.
The single arrives on 12th June just in time for the event and a donation from sales of the single will be given to Roger Daltrey's charity, the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Come on Eng-er-land etc! |
