10 Awful Songs By Footballers

8. Brings/Lukas Podolski - Halleluja

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KZalh51qQ If you€™re an England fan that is still in any way, shape or form a little bit wounded by Germany€™s 4-1 demolition of The Three Lions in the 2010 World Cup, then I would advise you not to watch the linked clip. As the man standing hands in pockets while sporting a loose-fitting tartan tie and t-shirt with no collar was the man to net their second goal. Yes, that guy. And we all thought this year was bad. The Arsenal striker sings along in German over the electronic dance beat on a song that wouldn't look out of place at the Eurovision Song Contest. In fact, it is so bad that it could easily win Europe€™s most popular music competition €“ Germany have a lot of neighbouring countries after all. The song had moderate success in Germany and spent eleven weeks in their Top 100 singles charts, though the song only peaked at number twenty-three. Podolski€™s singing capabilities are pretty limited, and as you would expect the band€™s lead singer Peter Brings greatly outshines the footballer vocally. However, Peter€™s dominance over Lukas doesn't stop there, he is also braver on the tartan front €“ not only wearing a ridiculous tie but also stand out tartan pants. Podolski does more kick ups in the video than Brings though, so he€™ll always have that.
