Who Do You Think?: The Svenga Boys

The cleverly named Svenga Boys are “still have nightmares over Rudi Voller's perm”.

Musical Style: In the style of the Dad’s Army theme, but reworked with enough variation to avoid the lawsuits and mixed with the Colonel Bogey March aka Bridge over the River Kwai.

Over The Moon: Another charity anthem for another excellent cause; this time it’s the British Legion who benefit and the Svenga Boys worthy effort is already bringing in the money despite being as melodic as your neighbour’s dog at 3am. Why? Because of classic lines like “Jurgen has only got one Ballack!” It’s ok because according to their blog their mum is German and she says it’s alright, and besides they left out a line about Kuntz and Janker. The boys are still hoping to get the song, which has already earned them 2nd place in a BBC lyrics poll, recorded by one of five celebrity dream-teams. Regardless of their success with that I expect you’ll be hearing more of it. Amusing lyrics and some great nostalgic sound clips.

Sick As A Parrot: Well, there is the fact that it’s pretty awful to listen to.

Terrace Appeal: 7/10
