The UEFA Euro 2008 Soundtrack: As chosen by You!

[RobbieD_PL]

Hi Guys,

I'm currently in the process of making a Euro 2008 patch for FIFA 08, and as a part of that I'm going to make a new playlist.

And then this fantastic idea hit me across the face...

Why not have a playlist with one song from each of the qualifying countries?

No, no I'm not talking Eurovision. hehe.

AUSTRIA - Global Kryner - Y Asi
SWITZERLAND - DJ Bobo - Vampires Are Alive
GREECE - Antique - Opa Opa
NETHERLANDS - ???
CZECHIA - ???
PORTUGAL - ???
TURKEY - Athena - For Real/Tam Zamani Simdi
GERMANY - Roger Cicero - Frauen Regiern Die Welt
POLAND - Sidney Polak - Otwieram Wino / Skalpel - 1958
CROATIA - ???
ITALY - F4 - La Prima Volta
ROMANIA - ???
FRANCE - ???
SPAIN - El Canto del Loco - Besos
SWEDEN - ???
RUSSIA - Seryoga - Chornyi Bumer

I've got some suggestions of my own but only for some of the countries. And being far away from Europe here in Australia doesn't really allow me to tap into the consumer index of Euro-pop. So I might have a song that I might like, but then again, ethnic residents might also come after me.

So I want to throw this out to the SG community, well its most prominent members anyway, to choose a hit song that represents their country.

Here's the patch thread for those interested:

EDIT: The patch is going to be released on the week of the 11th of February so get your entries in asap!

Sure this is in the right forum? VERY few of us in this forum play FIFA.

I'm just after songs from those countries, not neccessarily to do with FIFA.

In any case, I suppose it could be moved to the music fourms, but i'm worried about the lack of exposure.

very good choice about the Turkish one.. I dont fancy that song but in a game, it would go well

Which one do you mean? "For Real" or "Tam Zamani Simdi" ?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I think you forgot England.... oh wait

[Avalanche]

Nope, they were I-talian.

 

[Tom]

With that name?

 

[Mandieta6]

Please change the Spanish one. I'm not a fan of spanish music, but any Nek song would be better than El Canto del Loco (although he's Italian) and Pignoise also have better songs for your purpose than ECDL.

 

[Jaboldinho]

How about the Ketchup Song for spain?



















Man that's one old song.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Macarena for Spain. Can't go wrong.

 

[Tom]

Macarena for Spain. Can't go wrong.

Winner

That was so predictable. Yet, funny.

Portugal: Mariza - Gente Da Minha Terra

Not rly, let me think about it, but it will give the guys from Portugal some laugh. Or not.

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Why is her head shaven?

EDIT: BTW, the songs don't neccessarily have to be in their native language, but that would be prefered.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Yeah, but here in Portugal the music that we make is horrid.

I'm thinking either

Linda Martini - Cronófago

or...

Xutos & Pontapés - Contentores

 

[Run DMB]

Sweden: "Panda", Dungen

France: "Surrender", Cheap Trick

England: "Wish You Were Here", Pink Floyd

Holland: "Pass that Dutch", Missy Misdemeanor Elliott

Czech Republic: "Ch-check it out" by the Beastie Boys

Portugal: "PopoZão" by Kevin Federline
