More reasons to be cheerful...

This video. This. Video.

Oh dear. That's up there with the worst of all football 'songs'.

I was cringing after the very first line. After the first chorus, I had no doubt it was going to have a cheesy rap in the middle eight. And boom, there it was.

And someone thought 'we'll fight the butterflies' was a powerful lyric too... Puts fear into the heart of the opposition.

And it has a 2-semitone key change near the end in the manner of an X factor audition.
