Hansen’s Eyebrows is currently available for download and helps support the Marina Dalglish Appeal.

Musical Style: A military march / Bavarian-style folk tune backed with a pub crowd, a brass band and a rapper.

Over The Moon: An England Anthem with a difference, since it’s written in tribute to everyone’s favourite dour pundit’s eyebrows. Barrie Barlow (that’s Barriemore Barlow, one time drummer with prog legends Jethro Tull, not Gary, the big lad from Take That), who penned the lyrics explains "I'm a big fan of Alan's and the song is very endearing. I got the idea after watching Match of the Day - I couldn't believe the places his eyebrows go!" The lyrics do raise an effortless smile, particularly the first verse and chorus: "Sir Ramsey was the kid, Sir Bobby nearly did. We've had the Turnip, now we've got the Swede. Well we all got different teams, football hopes and Dreams, But there's one thing we're all agreed....Hansen's eyebrows they go up and down, they go Uuuuup, they go Down....Hansen's eyebrows they go up and down, they go Uuuuup, they go Down Down Down." Barrie’s observations have struck a chord since the song has already been voted best World Cup song and funniest lyrics in a BBC poll. Topped off with a fine rap from from MC Jabber, this is definitely a one of the quirkiest and most original songs to be penned for this year's World Cup, and could go all the way.

Sick As A Parrot: Melody could be a tad stronger; the bass drum is annoyingly repetitive.

Terrace Appeal: 9/10
