"England's Heartbeat" - Shuttleworth (feat. Mark E. Smith)

[rebelVHS]

Is there anyone who still hasn't heard 'Cheap Space Chant' ?

In YouTube, search for 'Timekode, Mark E Smith'

and listen to the strangest and best MES/Fall

collaboration of them all...

[Lieu3C4]

It is interesting how, historically, the south of England could not defeat Scotland (sic) because the north of England maintained the divide against both but WTFall man!!

[stevenuuu1212]

You can tell Mark was doing this for a laugh, them little kids! Haha!

[Ledonist]

I met Mark E Smith the very night he filmed this - it was Heaton Park Manchester and he was really sound.

[feckingtwot]

This is bullshit.

[spadge321]

it was all over a long time ago but no one told him,, bless

[MsGreenthings]

hehe nice

[thatseverin]

You know... as much as we adore MES, he would likely despise each and every one of us.... and that is ( part of ) why we adore him in the first place. VIVA MES

[scruffs888]

complete shit! the blonde don't even like football. blainey at the end.... are you a) playing the drums , b) trying to shit , c) having a stroke or d) all of the above? WANK!

[MrSupaAli]

the worst thing he's ever released.

[SpaceBambino]

written lyrics to your tunes, sharing stage with damon albarn... now you've done it mark, congrats on fucking up a perfectly good body of work. he's doing for his records what the england team is doing right now for their football tradition (bah-bye brits, best of luck there with the krauts. hint; they're a tad better than argeila)

[markwhat44]

@SpaceBambino a kinda know what ya gettin at but marks got to be due a payday after all hows he gonna pay fer all that fuckin kronenbourg anyway the line there was something in the score that ad seen somewhere before tells ya he still thinks there a bunch of clueless millionaires.

[SpaceBambino]

@markwhat44 all im gonna say about it, is that he's chosen dignity over money every time before. sharing stage with damon albarn is not much unlike being in "im a celebrity get me out of here". anyway, good luck there with your golden generation, time to put the ole 4-4-2 to sleep methinks

[BuyKurious]

@SpaceBambino The Fall toured with U2 in the late-80s,because they needed the money at the time.Ever since Peel died the exposure The Fall have got has been mostly fan boy journalists name-checking them or maybe reviewing the albums. In the last couple of years, I think MES has not only done some strange but great collaborations (V.Sud,Ed Blaney) but also tried to get The Fall "out there" more,ie. signing to Domino and doing this Gorillaz thing.He was the best thing on that stage at Glastonbury.

[SpaceBambino]

@BuyKurious well if you have gorillaz and mark e smith sharing stage ...who do you think is gonna be the best thing there? and yes the fall has toured with u2, but it was still the fall. ever heard how mes adressed the u2 audience?

"Jesus would throw bottles at U2."

[scruffs888]

wow , genius......

[scruffs888]

@scruffs888  bloody catchy unfortunatly ;)

[dylantisdell]

This is worse than the song Ricky Tomlinson released for this world cup and I haven't even heard that yet.

[AndyLusian]

Fantatical Fall fans reckon MES has what they call pre-cog. He wrote Sparta FC just before Greece won the European Cup of Nations in 2004, the fact he's done his first England World Cup song this year is significant, unlikely as it seems England will win the World Cup - MES has seen it.

[makopolok]

yalla england

[KylieRamone]

is that the new Das Gruppe in early training for the future?

[brabe2]

it's Mark E Smith. Therefore it's a work of genius.  What more needs to be said?

[snakebiten]

Sounds like my Dad when his drunk.

[jonnythrombosis23]

why don't they make this the official england song for the world cup?

[tomdissonance]

great stuff. and i inadvertently fancy Jenny Shuttleworth now

[jdcapshew]

Wow, nice song. Mark E. Smith looks almost looks like he's healthy enough to do an AARP ad.

[stesdad]

Coool vid & song :-)

[teebol]

lovely guitar part too. Mark E. Smith FC!

[edesaute]

This just put a gigantic silly grin on my face. And, Lord--do I need one. Love it!

[TilliIdle]

excellent

[circusmort]

Scary to think that if you plonked MES down in front of Simon Cowell and his panel of 'judges' he'd be subject to ridicule and told he'd be better off getting a job as a janitor or toilet attendant.

[julietsexpot]

Wow, 2 Mark E Smiths for the price of one. How did you get him to sing with such a happy look about him? Great new side to the fella. And it is a great tune too.

[jimbolgs]

Very well edited.

[Ordsall66]

Forget the world cup, this would clean up at Eurovision

[costas2by4]

M.E.Smiths ... sings. Brilliant.

[fiveuke]

Superb. This sounds like it fell off Extricate and is the best WC song for decades.

[fallfella]

Right up there with Sparta FC and Kicker Conspiracy. Love mini MES on megaphone. Smoking inside a football ground too!

[chazman26]

Now I know a thing or 3 about The Fall ...and this is better than anything on the latest lp, Mark actually making sense .....and the line '' just remember the pitch in december'' sums up the football experience in england from birth to death in one brilliant line.

[chazman26]

It's for all the kids who forgot their shorts at school because they weren't any good at football and all those brilliant players whose career's never got started through bad luck or injuries ..... and it makes me want to cry and shout at the same time ....and that my friends is why we are going to win the World Cup in South Africa ..oh and if you like good music check out the BITTER SPRINGS - Simon Rivers

[chazman26]

Wow

[andypac7]

Just one question, Funktrum, how do you cash in if no one is going to buy?

[ALotofWind]

Class. I'm sure all of the football oiks will not understand this as it is so far removed from Three Lions and the like. Great to see MES having a bit of a giggle.

[fallfans]

How good is this??

[anklamer]

National Anthem!

[noordinaryfamily]

Brilliant.

[blaney2tube]

best world cup song ever!

[brasseye25]

A decent football song and a smiling Mark E Smith.

Nowt wrong with that, cock.

[antihostile]

Fantastic! This should've been a bonus track on YFOC!
