From our reporters in Germany

Suggest an England track - follow-up

paul_atherton.gifWow, what a response! Thanks to everyone who suggested a piece of music to accompany an England montage.

There were some brilliant suggestions and people clearly put a lot of thought into it. It looks like you lot are as passionate about your music as you are about football!

Make sure you look out for our coverage of England v Ecuador on 大象传媒 ONE on Sunday to see what music was used.

I鈥檒l follow this up again next week with one of the producers who will explain what music he/she chose, and why.
And if you have any other music suggestions for any upcoming games (Togo v France anyone?), then please do let us know!

Oh, and here's a little you might want to try.

Czech Republic versus Italy - 'Better Do Better' by Hard-Fi

Japan versus Brazil - 'Big in Japan' by Guano Apes (I'm sure you know that Brazil are very popular in Japan)

Ukraine versus Tunisia - 'Bring Me To Life' by Evanescense (Ukraine looked dead against Spain, but they came back to life against the Saudis)

Togo versus France - 'Unfinished Sympathy' by Massive Attack (I think the lyrics really round up how the French fans must feel)

Germany versus Sweden - 'Get Yourself High' by Chemical Brothers

Argentina versus Mexico - 'Blue Orchid' by The White Strips (after the Argentina kit)

I was going to suggest something by MC Solaar for France vs Togo but remembered he's Senegalese... maybe something by Orcyno?

France v Togo

Seeing as Togo was once a French Colony how about 'They Don't Care About Us' by M.Jackson?

(Already on my way to the cloakroom...)

For France v Togo.......

DJ CutKiller's remix of 'Non Regrette'. It was featured in the
film La Haine (1995). It sort of suits the mayhem that surrounds the French national team at the moment. Check it out!

And if France do make it from that group.......

An upbeat version of Robbie williams 'love supreme' in French!

If France go out it has to be "To The End (La Comedie)" by Blur.

Not bad, eh?

A few years back the 大象传媒 did a montage set to You Got the Love by The Source ft. Candi Staton.

It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Could be time for a revisit given it's re-release???

Paul, it is a great decision to take the suggestion of the fans seriously and to give the matches extra dimension through music. Music has something that can make something more passionate. It will be very nice if 大象传媒 make some music based on the suggestion of the fans and I hope 大象传媒 will keep us with the world cup.

For France vs Todo, simple play Don't Go by Yazoo, and replace the chorus with someone shouting "To-go!"

For France against Togo "Too Young" for the sake or irony if Les Bleues go out. If they are improved Daft Punk's "Hard, Faster, Better, Stronger" would be a great montage track and they are french (as are Phoenix)

If S. Korea win David Bowie's "A Career in A New Town" would be humourous

"You love us" by the Manic Street Preachers is superb whenever there's a positive result.

I noticed that MS Solaar was used to good effect on the recent "World Cup Stories" which focused on the French national side on 大象传媒 2 a few weeks back. All that would be needed in the france v. togo match is an Henry wondergoal and a Vieira red card for "La belle et le bad boy" to work an absolute treat...

You should use an instrumental version of 'Kick Push' by Lupe Fiasco. It sort of sounds like when you used '1980' by Estelle a few years back. We all loved that track.
