With the mid-noughties exploding with indie music, 2005 was a Q and NME reader’s wet dream.
SOUNDTRACK FIFA 99 PLUS
Oasis shook out of their post-Be Here Now stasis with their album Don’t Believe The Truth – from which lead single Lyla features – as well as LCD Soundsystem’s scathing hit North American Scum.ĭamien Marley – Welcome to Jamrock and Bloc Party – Helicopter are other highlights, plus the montage featuring Tony Yeboah almost breaking the crossbar, Paulo Di Canio’s bicycle kick and Eric Cantona’s iconic chip alongside Doves – Black and White Town is just incredibly ‘wahey, footy’. The first of a mid-noughties trilogy with which EA peaked. Fittingly, one of those was Song 2 – quite possibly the most perfect tune to soundtrack a football game of all time, a track so high-octane it makes footballs explode out of a scoreboard in the intro. It only had six songs on the whole soundtrack – but one of them is from Norman Cook, so it’s in the list.Īn even more extreme version of ’99, the UK release only had two songs. The Black Keys, Caribou, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Gorillaz, Groove Armada, LCD Soundsystem, Massive Attack, MGMT, Two Door Cinema Club, We Are Scientists… fair f***ing play, FIFA. FIFA favourites Kasabian, Foals, Hot Chip and Damian Marley are given more outings, while there is also a Tom Jones remix, obviously
SOUNDTRACK FIFA 99 HOW TO
Plus, I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You by Black Kids is a nice reminder that Black Kids existed and released a really infectious song.Ĭompleting an incredibly catchy offering is Black and Gold by Sam Sparro, Always Where I Need To Be by The Kooks and Open Your Window by Reverend and the Makers. Once you’ve heard MGMT – Kids while playing FIFA it’s hard not to think it was written precisely to soundtrack a football video game. It’s essentially a decent Saturday at Reading and Leeds Festival. The most recent outings have lacked many iconic moments, but kicking off a run of three editions in the 2010s is a flurry of upbeat guitars, featuring The Strokes, The Vaccines, The Hives and Kasabian. Picture Ronaldo dancing through defences while listening to Ricky Martin’s La Copa de la Vida, and ruefully grimace while thinking about David Beckham’s red card against Argentina during Tubthumping by Chumbawamba – surely one of the most football songs ever.

Bonus points for a cover featuring Edgar Davids and Roberto Carlos, too.Ī short soundtrack but suitably packed full of cheesy pop, just what any World Cup worth its salt needs. Ignoring the fact that it contained Avril Lavigne and the theme music was done by a band called Bedroom Rockers, Ms Dynamite – Dy-Na-Mi-Tee is a banger. We took on the difficult task of ranking the top 10 since the game’s incarnation. Just as football and video games are a perfect match, football and music have gone hand in hand throughout the beautiful game’s history.Įvery year the FIFA soundtrack represents the perfect amalgamation of the trio, but when has the game nailed it most?
