UPDATE: Round 2 voting closed – Round 3 here.
The poll has closed for the 1st round and the winner is…
He will now go up against our next contenders… Blind Granny’s Taxi Nightmare
These chaps have previous with an England World Cup song having previously released a previous version (have I said previous enough ?) of this tune four years ago. They have updated the lyrics > from Sven to Fabio > and are going to have another bash.
The song in question is one I didn’t mention in my 2006 coverage. The reason why was because when Blind Granny’s Taxi Nightmare first released this re-worded cover, it was overshadowed by a well known name who released his own version at the same time. But now they have another chance with their take on an old Jeff Beck classic:
 |
Blind Granny's Taxi Nightmare - Hi Ho Come On England (2010)
|
The song is a bit laddish, but obviously has a very strong and familiar chorus which can easily be chanted on the terraces in the plastic seats.

...and now a reminder from last week's victor:
 |
The Shining Hour - To England With Love:
|
- plus an additional song from them:
| The Shining Hour - The Story Of Us |
NOW YOU DECIDE:
