Kaisers deny World Cup song involvement
Despite rumours all over the press last weekend to the contrary, the Kaiser Chiefs have said they've no plans to record a song to accompany the England football team's bid for World Cup success this summer.
The band's name appeared in a few papers over the weekend beside Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, but a statement from the five-piece has said that they're concentrating on recording a second album, and won't be doing a New Order:
“We're flattered about these rumours regarding the England football team's World Cup song, but there's no truth in them, they are just rumours.
”The only writing we'll be doing in the next few months will be for our next album. We have no plans to write the England football team's World Cup song. Sorry to dispel the myth.”
England captain David Beckham was unavailable for comment, but since he's prettier than Ricky Wilson, here's a picture of his FACE.
DiScuss: Remember that awful Ocean Colour Scene/Spice Girls effort from two World Cups ago? Crap weren't it? Who would you like to see do such a song? Chas and Dave? Raz and Dave?

Raz and Dave
Oh. That would be great.
Raz and Mike however would be even better. Do a football song guys.
i agree
say what you will about them, kaiser chiefs would have been ideal for the job.
ohhhhhh
woaaaaahhhhhh ooooooohhhhh wooooooaahhhhhhhhhhhh c'mon england.
something like that i reckon.
it would work
Kasabian and Arctic Spunkeys would probably go:
"woah Chum on en-ger-land innit"
Now a duet between both bands. Help me Mummy
well....
i can tell how the rumours started because every time a rival keeper is about to take a goal kick, it sounds like evryone is singing a kaiser cheifs song anyway.
oooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
they may as well just release oh my god and give the crowd something else to shout after the goalie has booted the ball!
!
So...hold on...why do we need a world cup anthem again?
Also, watch for the amount of ballad/soft/pop/indie singles that will be released just after the world cup as labels pray that their song will be used at the end of Match of the Day when England get knocked out in the quarter finals. Again.
Cynical? Me? Never....
I say Ant n Dec again
you can't beat we're on the ball
well,
YMSS did do that football-chant bit on Hurrah...
That's
a shame. They'd probably do a good World Cup Anthem.
Bet that fucking Kasabian do it instead.
