And I'm going for 'Pure', as a perfect example for the perfect pop song. Otherwise 'You Showed Me', 'Sugar Coated Iceberg' and 'All I Want' came close.

"Pure" is a fucking banger

Dom Passantino, Monday, 15 October 2007 20:20 (eighteen years ago)

"Joy" is pure pop perfection!

Geir Hongro, Monday, 15 October 2007 20:21 (eighteen years ago)

"All I Want," as performed by Susanna Hoffs.

Otherwise, it's pretty hard to argue with "Pure."

change

electricsound, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 00:59 (eighteen years ago)

"Pure," but I really love "Sense."

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 01:02 (eighteen years ago)

"Change" is pretty perfect too.

and TS: Three Lions vs Three Lions '98

"All I Want"- Was this the 2nd single? Were there more?

the higgs, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 04:58 (eighteen years ago)

I went for "Lucky You" just because I knew "Pure" and "All I Want" would get plenty of other votes.

"and TS: Three Lions vs Three Lions '98"
The former wins by a mile.

Yes obv. The second one was never needed, although it did at least give a few more well-deserved weeks atop the UK charts to crown it as the best football song ever.

Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 08:30 (eighteen years ago)

Poll that! It will come third!

Mark G, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 08:33 (eighteen years ago)

If we make such a poll, there will always be something left out, like the Polish song from the 1978 World Cup etc. :)

Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 08:44 (eighteen years ago)

Well, sure but I was more about the "things that might actually get votes"

Mark G, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 08:47 (eighteen years ago)

Well, for me, the only thing that might possibly rival Lightning Seeds is "Bønna Ifra Nord" - a great Norwegian football song by Racer that topped the Norwegian singles chart in 2000. And you'll find a lot of that kind of examples. :)

Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 08:48 (eighteen years ago)

life's too short

blueski, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 09:03 (eighteen years ago)

I really like the song Life Of Riley. The football songs got quite annoying very quickly didn't they! It's a shame Ian Broodie has such a weak voice, I think they would have been a truly great band if they had a singer like the guy from The Feeling.

Free Peace Sweet!, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 10:42 (eighteen years ago)

like the guy from The Feelingall.

blueski, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

"SUGAR COATED ICEBERG-AH!"

Mark G, Wednesday, 17 October 2007 11:04 (eighteen years ago)

Worst pscott sockpuppet ever
