Unofficial England World Cup 2006 Song: Computertones

This reworking of "Three Lions" (re-released June 5th) is "produced by professional impressionists."

Musical Style: Home recording, pot noodle keyboards, Chad Valley drum machine.

Over The Moon: Billed as the "funniest unofficial" - "All celebrity sound-a-like voices produced by Computertones is unofficial. The content does not carry the approval or endorsement of the personality involved or any broadcasting institution" - the Computertone boys squeeze as many impressions as they possibly can into this smorgasbord of "instantly recognisable" voices from television. Little Britain, Alan Partridge, John Motson, Ricky Gervais are all crammed into this telephone box by the bus shelter.

Sick As A Parrot: A cynical and blatant attempt to cash in on practically everybody in England. Simultaneously appalling, illegal (bet Baddiel and Skinner get nowt from this one!), lame and entirely predictable, it should never have been made and deserves to be sent off.

Terrace Appeal: 4/10
