this song is bloody catchy, one of the songs of FIFA 08 I've heard people whistling it in the pub.

What you guys think?

I ****ing loathe it. You know why? Because straight away it reminds me the typical football hooligan, with his pint of beer, his loud, obnoxious attitude and - probably- a skinhead. Hell, it's even on FIFA which just further gives me the mental image of the type of bellends I see coming out of matches.

EDIT: Tell the truth, the song isn't bad itself - I thought it was Kasabian at first and I was pretty disgusted they got rid of their great instrumentation, but alas, thank god, it's not. Thw whilstling just pisses me off, though.

Yeah it's catchy, video is quite funny. Think I heard it on jonathan woss's tv show.

I've just made an avatar in honor of the video.

I think it's really awful, but my taste is pretty bad anyway.

I liked it the first time I heard it. The other 900 times kind of wore on me JUST A ****ING TAD.

I've never really liked it. Their other singles are awful too.

I like it... course I don't listen to the radio or have to deal with hooligans, so I don't really have any negative connotations associated with it.

Also, I got to see them play it live at Austin City Limits this past summer, and it was glorious!

Nice song, like Thrall... I'm not a heavy radio listener.
I almost always have my iPod turned on.
