The Football World Cup is almost upon us and the important business of football songs fills our minds with glee.

I've just found out excellent Scottish indie pop stars Belle and Sebastian have recorded a sweet world cup song which I rather like.

So fabberinos, what's your favourite football song. I'm expecting most of you to say World in Motion, and if you do you should look up Peter Hook's recent performance of it with a very special guest.

The John Barnes rap is probably my favourite. Anything pre 2010 is good. Plus Shakira's Waka waka and that Wave your flag song.

I haven't listened to any other ones.

Not world cup but I think the best football song is "You'll never walk alone"

Touched by the hand of Cicciolina by PWEI for Italy 90. Didn't quite get the same attention that "world in motion" got but hey, no John Barnes

Wasn’t there one for Scotland in ‘98 that went on about, “Just don’t come home too soon”? Nothing like setting expectations.

"Back Home by the 1970 England World Cup Squad is a belter."

My favourite, a classic first of it's kind.

Have a soft spot for Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 Mas Que Nada gets me in the mood. Not an official football song but has a good vibe.

I like the 78 Scotland song for Argentina WC.

It went the tune of Amazing Grace

Archie Gemmill, Archie Gemmill, Archie Gemmill, Archie Gemmill..and so on.
