Goalscrounger's 30 Day Music Challenge - Day 1 - Monday 6th April - A Song About Football

Thought I'd set a version of this challenge up on here (originally surfaced about 10 years ago on Facebook and now doing the rounds on Instagram).

Each day I'll post a theme, all you have to do is post a You Tube link to your favourite song that fits the theme (only one song per person per theme please).

As Sunday is almost over in England, I've started Monday's song early.

Give Us A Goal
Slade
Let's go
Let's goLet's just call a whip off
A drink before the kick off
Get in the mood for Saturday's game
Five to three they zip on
The lads have got the strip on
We're gonna thrash you ain't that a shame
We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Stop your fancy fooling 'round and give us a goal
We'll chase ya then race ya
You can't catch a cold
Stop your fancy footwork now and give us a goal
Give it to the winger
All the crowds a singer
We're gonna take the top off the standsRattling there rattles
Then powerful in their tackles
Get together clapping your hands
We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Get the ball into the net and give us a goal
A blaster right past ya
You're losing control
You're playing now with two left feet and they've got a goal
Let's Go
Hear the crowds a howling
Hey did ya see the fouling
The ref needs specs he's deaf dumb and blind
Shoot you silly f-fool
Ok now show 'em we rule
The goalie's sat down on his behind
We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Come on the lad now no mistakes just give us a goal
We'll skin ya we'll win ya
Cos we're back in control
Come on the lads you got it made now give us a goal
We'll chase ya and we'll race ya
Cos they can't catch a cold
More more shoot score give us a goal
Stop your fancy footwork now and give us a goal

Apart from the title this isn't really about football. But it does have the dulcet tones of John Peel plus it mentions Redcar in the title and is pretty wonderful. Apologies for straying from the brief.


Mars Ultras, You’ll Never Make The Station
Quick, run, hide
Here comes Dave Stewart
Walking up the drive
With that look in his eye
That “Let’s do a project” look
“…about third-rate Swiss agit-pop”
George O’Dowd
So glad you’re happy
All fit and well
After going through the hell
Of being a pop star
Street parties in Redcar
Oh Mr Wu
What shall I do?
Surrogate Grundy
Sold on a Monday
To Richard and Judy
Drill…
I am the girl from Deacon Blue
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Multi-talented Sinitta
I just want to meet yer
‘Cos I am St Peter
And you’re going downstairs
Along with cars that have pet names

Love this... best by a mile ... like the John Peel Dave Stewart bit too
