Few weeks ago the official song of polish national team for Euro 2012 was chosen. There's been a lot of controversy around it, beacause of its folk character and quite miserable lyrics. It was also declared 'the worst football song ever'. Check it out for yourselves:
The other thing about this song is that the lyrics in chorus (Koko Koko Euro Spoko) could be translated as:
Cluck Cluck Euro Cool. Yes, cluck cluck like the sound that chicken makes. Why football song (and official song of polish national team) has a reference to chickens? I have no idea. I think noone does. Probably only because in polish language cluck rhymes with cool.
And the weird thing is that this song wasn't just some random pick - it was chosen through official voting around the nation. I think that 10 million of Poles have thought: "Let's vote for KokoKoko as a joke!". And we did. Cluck Cluck.
In the whole history of football songs I think there is only one that can compete with that. It's 1978's scottish song. It is about how Scotland will will win the trophy (they went out in the first round). You can listen to it here:
It's hard to decide which one is worse. They are both really bad but in different ways.
Still, whatever you might think about both of this songs, they are quite catchy.
