Englands One: The Greasy Spoons

This marvellously passionate and messy song is sung by Kath and some punky-sounding geezer.

Musical Style: Naive guitars, military snare, kazoo, male / female vocal, badly out of tune authentic terrace vocals.

Over The Moon: With its cheeky lift of Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler (Klinsman)? and more than a few other classic ingredients in a simple mix, its well on the way to becoming the nation's official unofficial favourite. Lots of press and TV: "Our favourite unofficial World Cup song" - Eamonn Holmes, BBC Radio Five Live. "It's a great anthem. Good for them." It certainly takes some balls... - Sheree Murphy - everyone from the Daily Star to the Observer (!). This one could go all the way.

Sick As A Parrot: The melody and atrocious singing aren't exactly enjoyable to listen to... but who cares after the fifth pint?

Terrace Appeal: 9/10
