Not the most important news in the world, but...

From the BBC:

A new Premier League theme tune will be played when teams toss the coin before each fixture next season, with DJ Judge Jules's old top-flight tune being replaced by a ditty composed by Peter Lawler. It was recorded at the Abbey Road studios by session musicians and will also be used on the preview and review shows that are screened the world over. (The People)

You really don't need to hear it to know that it's gonna suck the proverbial weener.

Every ground should have The Liquidator playing uncensored 30 seconds before kick off, at which point there should be no music at all.

Peter Lawler has posted a clip of the new Premier League Anthem on his myspace page and has also blogged about the project. The name of the song is, "My Saturday Self." Sounds very much like a Who song.

Anyone have another link? Looks like he took it down from the myspace page. Most likely cuz too many people were telling him it sucked. I need to see for myself tho.

They had a package on the new anthem as part of the 'Premier League World' show on FSC today. I'm no rocket scientist, but the background music I heard was similar to what Lawlor was playing in the footage at Abbey Road so I'd figure it's the anthem. If it was, then it's not terrible, it's just not something that I would peg as 'anthem' type music.

EDIT: Just pulled it on his myspace, and yeah that's it. Not terrible, just not your typical anthem material in my book.

Absolute rubbish song. I like the songs played at Elland Road

As players run out for kickoff: second half of Tin Tin Out- Strings for Yasmin (from the Vinny Jones film Mean Machine)
Its a real anthem, builds up the atmosphere/ bit trancy though.
As players run out second half- Brainbug- Nightmare

. I'd go for Evertons Z cars as well.

They are both on limewire, see what you think.....?

What the bloody hell was that? The guitar line sounds like something I wrote in 4th form music composition class . . .

And what's with the synthesizer underneath? I thought the EPL commissioned an anthem, not something to listen to while you pop ecstasy tablets and roll around on the floor, rubbing your nipples and chewing on a glow stick.

that is absolute gash. Clubs should be allowed to play there anthems when the teams come out

Nowt better than hearing your teams tune blasting out as the run out the tunnel, straight to the home end. This lineing up and having a EPL set anthem is bollox.

remember as a kid Sunderland running out to Z-Cars. Mint.

My other favourites are Newcastles Local Hero . Its is a great tune though. Man Citeh's Blue Moon. I also love going to Goodison when Sunderland are playing Everton cos it reminds me of when I was young at Roker Park, Z-Cars again.

i think its a great idea to have jus one EPL anthem played b/c it represents all teams...and honestly i don't think it will be ideal to have each team with an anthem
