I'll tell you what you can do with your Wavin' Flag

Has any song ever had lyrics more inane than the Football World Cup song?

"We all say/When I get older I will be stronger/They’ll call me freedom/Just like a wavin’ flag/And then it goes back"

What?

Is THAT what the lyrics are? All I can ever really hear is 'so wave your flag, wave your flag, wave your flaaag'etc - and it has been stuck in my head all day. Gaaaaa!

I know!

I like to add random lines to the chorus. So light your flag, so burn your flag, so lose your flag, so buy your flag, so steal a flag, so find a flag, so you can wave the flag, screw your flag, I hate your flag, no more flags, bad bad flags, ugly flags, etc.

I needs a life.

Isn't this an ad for Coke?

I don't know, it might be, I don't have a TV.

It's being played as "the official world cup song" here though, so it's on the radio all.the.time.

Yup, heard it last night, it's used in an ad for Coke that is on TV *constantly* before and after matches. After the waving flag bit, it goes Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh-oh.

Fortunately Fine Music Radio doesn't play football songs. They did make some snarky remarks this morning about the bleak desolation of two whole days without any matches.
