Loading ...I’m surprised that England haven’t tried Ring of Fire since that win in India that time. For Cardiff, how about something traditionally Welsh- “Men of Harlech” with scenes from Zulu on the big screen. The film’s nothing to do with cricket, but still, best epic ever.
Music to inspire England in the Ashes
By Will last year, mid-June Add your comment below
I’ve recently become a bit of a fan of Spotify, the peer-to-peer music-streaming service which rules all. Even more recently, I see you can create and share playlists, which lends itself perfectly to me to ask you the following: what music can or should inspire England in the Ashes?
Spotify users, create and share a playlist with songs you think might rally the troops this summer. Non-spotties, offer yours below. Suggestions should ideally be English, without wishing to sound like that turbo-powered racist arsehole, Nick Griffin.
I think Elgar needs to be included at least once, possibly as a replacement to the drone of the UK’s national anthem. If we’re talking about the national anthem, and it appears I am, I’m all for Billy Connolly’s suggestion – a comedian and character I would happily forsake two limbs to pick his brains – that it should be replaced by the theme tune to the Archers. And that’s saying something, considering I’ve often veered off the road in sheer depression when inadvertently listening to a programme containing a character called Shula. Cracking theme tune though.
So, Elgar, the Kinks, something from the Rolling Stones, or the Stone Roses and…?

How about:
“Delivery” by Babyshambles
“Lazarus” by The Boo Radleys
“Magic Bus” by The Who
… just for starters?

Those with children of a certain age will already know the best song to accompany the visiting side, Bananas in Pyjamas.

The TMS Music (Soul Limbo by Booker T and the M.G.s) is basically traditional, and if it’s going badly, the caribbean feel to it would at least remind us that we can beat WI.

After they’ve been smashed in the first two tests, how about, ‘Dont Dream It’s Over’ by Crowded House.
