IN CASE YOU hadn’t heard, football is apparently coming home.
And for every English football fan prematurely celebrating their country’s potential win in the World Cup, there is a rational member of the public ready to help rein everyone in.

And to bolster the point, he listed six tunes which he was certain contradicted the original claim.
Bills, Bills, Bills - Destiny's Child

No Scrubs - TLC
My Oh My - Aqua
Holler - Spice Girls
There You Go - P!NK
Money - Jamelia
I'm happy that everything's going well in the football but we can't just throw reason out the fucking window. https://t.co/fjSK5OtAuQ
Bills, Bills, Bills – Destiny’s Child No Scrubs – TLC My Oh My – Aqua Holler – Spice Girls There You Go – P!NK Money – Jamelia. I’m happy that everything’s going well in the football but we can’t just throw reason out the f*cking window.
James’ response got the ball rolling on other songs that could take Three Lions in the harpsichord stakes any day.
And even if they’re wrong, who cares…
Golden Brown, The Stranglers. Bit of a fave, couldn’t help mentioning!

Don't know if The Beach Boys - God Only Knows meets your strict 'bangers' criterion. It does mine.
