PURSEY, SHAME ON YOU
In a bid to raise some interest in the Virgin Radio breakfast show, Christian O'Connell has resurrected the "fan's song for England" idea which stood him in good stead when he was at XFM. This time, a poll has been arranged and Jimmy Pursey has won. He's going to rework Hurry Up Harry as - of course - Hurry Up England.
If you need us, we'll be in the corner sobbing.

Whatever it is, it won't be a patch on Mitch Benn's "Embrace" World Cup song from Friday's The Now Show.
If you missed it, lucky for you http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/nowshow.shtml has the podcast of the show. It starts at 13:40 in.
Don't knock it yet: you ain't heard it. (Yet).
First place to hear it will be on Christian's website, where you can also read the show's (Blogger-powered) blog.
from an old popbitch:
"Jimmy Pursey was on Virgin Radio last Friday playing a demo of his England World Cup song. Hurry Up England, based on Sham 69's Hurry Up Harry. Pursey told Christian O'Connell that his item on England songs had inspired him.
It seems what really happened was that Essex group Mottys Sheepskin, recorded Hurry Up England, and contacted Pursey through a former Sham 69 roadie to get clearance. Pursey said he'd sign an assent form, but they never heard from him again. He then recorded his own version.
