Anyone feel like writing them off? I'm sick of being told what I can never do.

is this a music thread?

Apparently the big World Cup anthem in Germany right now is some german reggae/hip-hop collective's (I think it might be Mundstuhl) take on Bob Marley's "Jamming": "we're germans, germans/and we hope you like germans too!"

what is this about?

I'm guessing it's not about the World Cup, since there's at least five threads for that .

(though "you can never write off the Germans" is a bit of a commentator's meme, so, yeah, it probably, obtusely, is. Amirite?)

Other oft played anthems are this and of course, the reworking of three lions

what was the world cup anthem back in 1966, forty years ago, when England last won the world cup?

The bad "English for Runaways" lyrics are deliberate -- bad English is a common German comic meme.
