Don’t Mention The World Cup

In 2006 Mr John Otto Cleese delivered a wonderful football song. We wrote the song and made this video to coincide with the World Cup. You know – THE World Cup – the FIFA World Cup. Football. The game played with the feet. By the whole world. Didn’t do too badly.

The song was conceived and written by Dean Whitbread and Ashley Slater, with John nabbing himself a song credit as the creative inspiration he is.

This rousing tune re-introduced John to his many of his forgotten UK fans, as well as many younger football fans. It also gained him a lot of support from thousands of the UK Military and their radio station based in Germany. Remember, in 2006 Germany was hosting the World Cup. So while it didn’t super fly high, Don’t Mention The World Cup did very respectably indeed.

Aside from the music and the famous Mr Cleese’s presence, what also made this song work was the superb campaign run by Paul Carey.
