Can't find a link but how about "Always look on the bright side of life"? It works whether we win or lose and everybody likes to whistle to that one

Land of Hope and Glory? It's slow, boring, dull, depressing, Voctorian tripe... no thanks.

Vindaloo! Suitable for any football audience.

...or anything arranged by the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain...

Yes lets just get a song associated with England and swap a word or two to use it as the British national anthem, that sounds like a great idea.... Or one that goes on about ruling and empires, that get everyone filled with pride, won't it?!?

Perhaps we should just go with some rousing music without any lyrics. Probably a good idea for England to sort out a national anthem of it's own first, is there anyone who is really against Land of Hope and Glory for that?

Just leave it to Brian May...

That's how it should be played every time - no bleeding sopranos.

Yes, me.
Another vote for nicking Italia!
If you insist, what's wrong with Scotland the Brave. :P

Having not read all the posts, forgive me if I mention one or two that already may have been said. "Bring me sunshine" Morecambe and Wise or the theme tune to "Rainbow" (Guess what decade I grew up in)

Sorted already.

I somehow managed to endure about half of that before finally relenting and stopping it!

How can I ever look my ears in the eye ever again?

Pretty much anything from the should-be Poet Laureate, Nigel Blackwell and his chums of the Half Man Half Biscuit brothers and after some consideration, I'd go for this one

with the greatest line of all time, "I could put a tennis racket up against my face, and pretend that I'm Kendo Nagasaki'. No finer lyric exists in the history of music.
