Storming The Charts #6: Cardiff City FC

Cardiff City FC & James Fox
Blue Birds Flying High



Now as far as Football anthems go, and as a piece of music this is pretty shit to say the least, and hiring out James Fox (ex Brit entry for Eurovision) to sing it, then your pretty much asking to be laughed at by the whole of England.

However it seems that this cheesy piano leading track might just land the singer his second top 20 single of his 'career'. The song 'Bluebirds Flying High' is a poppy footie song that plays heavily on the glory days of 1927, when Cardiff City last won the FA Cup and as I found out to much discust, Arsenal, the love of my life, were the team responsible for the only time that the FA Cup has left the boundaries of England. hmmmm.... so you can see this post is already shaping up to be an epic fail, emotionally and professionally.

However, with the bookies halving the odds to 5/2 for this track to be crowned No.1 on Sunday, It's pretty damn amazing that the biggest team in Wales may have done something that even Coldplay have yet to manage. God Have Mercy Upon The City of Cardiff.... should it happen!
