I’ve been asked by the Albion and by the FA before, and I said no. I’m not a big fan of football songs. ‚World In Motion‘ and ‚Three Lions‘ are the only ones I’d cross the road to spit on if they were on fire. Then again there is ‚The Goldstone Rap‘, the Cup final song from 1983. It’s there in my collection, tempting me. I think about playing it every time I do a gig at Brighton Beach.
In der feinen, aber leider etwas sporadischen Serie My sporting life im Observer kommt Fatboy Slim alias Norman Cook zu Wort und beantwortet die Frage, ob er jemals einen Football-Song schreiben würde.
