If I'd just lost the world cup on a penalty shoot out and was having to go up and collect my LOSXOR'S MEDAL, would the thing I want to hear really be "Love Generation"?

(OK to be fair I wouldn't give a monkeys)

2 weeks until Zidane's headbutt gets onto an indie record sleeve.

It's the official world cup song, so you probably wouldn't be particularly surprised, even if you were annoyed. It is French as well.

freakytigger hates it for some reason, i quite like it, but then i like all songs with whistling in :)

There's a new one out now, called World Hold On. It's quite catchy.

Even "Whistle While You Work"?
