Football club releases excruciating Christmas song. Reindeers weep. So does Cliff Richard.
There have been some great Christmas songs in the past - but not many. There have been a few mediocre Christmas songs in the past - but not that many, either, What there has been, however, is a great deal of utter, utter rubbish Christmas songs. The list is almost endless.
And there have been one or two good songs by, or for, football teams - by New Order for England’s World Cup 1990 bid and, the best, Lightening Seeds for England’s Euro 1996 campaign. But mostly, football songs are just execrable noise pollution, which, cumulatively, are part of the cause, research will reveal one day, of global warming and climate change.
Lech Poznan - first division club; nicknamed the Railwaymen; used to be good until a decade a go, now not so - have gone and done a double-wammy - they have scored a brace - by being a football team which has made a Christmas song! Two crimes in one, just for you this holiday.
It gets worse. The song is a Polish Christmas carol.
The lyrics to Przybieżeli do Betlejem (Shepherds came to Bethlehem) you don’t really need to worry about. It’s the usual stuff. All you need to know to sing along is the chorus, which is “Glory on high, glory on high and peace on earth.” and the repeated phrase by the backing singers “Chwala,” glory!
So, sit back and watch a musical own goal. Merry Christmas Lech!
PS. Correction. I have listened to this a few times now and I am beginning to (cringe) like it! Call a doctor.

Whoo-hoo. Embedding youtube!
Not busting your chops; I'm so glad. I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad.
And I like the Lech Poznan song and video. It's much better than most American football Superbowl songs sung by the players I've seen on video.
would you like to elaberate on the busting chops bit? I'm lost.
As in goofing on someone.. for being behind the times or whatever... and now you're found.
I know its uncool to talk politics in the middile of a soccer frenzy, but could you take a look at this:
