World Cup Songs: ‘Grab A Stella, Nelson Mandela’ By England United Featuring Spike

By Ollie Irish

Shambolic, yes, but also the best unofficial World Cup song I’ve heard yet, if only for rhyming ‘Stella’ with ‘Mandela’ – suck on that, Baddiel and Skinner. The rest of the lyrics are spot-on too – ‘Ashley Cole in his underpants’, sung with appropriate disdain.

    Mandela always rocks a mean shirt. Can you do a top-ten please Ollie? Not strictly football but I’m sure you can find an angle. And it would be fun – and isn’t that what it’s all about?

    Never underestimate the love of an Englishman for England! The England World Cup song `Green Fields of England` by George and the Dragons.

  7. [...] That said, it’s a very hard-hearted fan who can resist the goosebumpy power of the chorus. But this time around, I’m all about the brilliant ‘Grab a Stella, Nelson Mandela’. [...]

  8. That is a great lyric.

    But I prefer “His English is pigeon… We’ll never know if he’d have stuck Wayne Bridge in!”

    Hi Phil, I to have also been looking at what England songs are out there and to be honest alot of them are more about the artists than the actual song itself! Nothing wrong with that as it is about having fun! Have you checked out “England Its Your Time” by Tel Boy very good and very very catchy!

  12. Have a listen to this World Cup song. Strangely the lyrics mention three teams – all of which we have to beat to get our hands on the trophy, Germany, Argentina and Brazil
