Blazin' Squad to Rap England to Victory?
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver April 8th, 2004
Rumours abound that pop-rappers Blazin' Squad are to pen the official song for the England football team's Euro 2004 campaign.

The FA haven't made any confirmation as yet, but surely the tracksuited London scallys can't rap any worse than John Barnes? All together now... "You've got to move and kick, but do it at the right time..."

The tournament's official song will be performed by Nelly Furtado. A final decision on England's song will be made at the end of the month. DiS can't wait, but if any member of Ocean Colour Scene is involved we'll be down Soho Square with a sock-full of pennies quicker than Chris Waddle's penalty* went into orbit.

And remember kids, there really is only one way to beat them... get 'round the back.

*If you're too young to remember, ask your dad.
