Grumpychops Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 If I was a betting man, I'd have money on Peter Schilling making some sort of an appearance at the opening ceremony. Apparently there is a petition to get 'Major Tom' as the German anthem for the Euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly released in the early 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a got a countdown then a sing song chorus A segment celebrating the German hit parade would be magnificent. Peter Kent and Bad Boys Blue and that. I’m still not ruling out a surprise cameo from Helena Fischer though Nothing beats a Saturday afternoon in a Hamburg or Dusseldorf boozer with Bundesliga on the tele, a big Steiner, a bratty and some schlager and 80s europop blaring in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganRoy Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Thanks to ChatGPT, we have our Scotland Euro 24 song set Nena's 99 Red Balloons. (Verse 1) In the highlands, 'neath the summer skies, We dream of glory, our hopes will rise. With the tartan army, ready to cheer, Scotland's brave hearts, the Euro's here. (Chorus) Ninety-nine dreams we dare to dream, Playing it bold, as one team. Over the pitch, our spirits balloon, Scotland's pride, in the Euro tune. (Verse 2) From the streets of Glasgow to the shores of Skye, Our anthem rises, it soars so high. In every heart, there's a burning flame, For the love of football, for Scotland's name. (Chorus) Ninety-nine dreams we've held so dear, Through the cheers and the songs, we conquer fear. With every match, our passion's in bloom, We're Scotland united, in the Euro tune. (Bridge) Oh, see the kilts and hear the pipes, The thistle's strength, the stars are ripe. For every Scot, this is our chance, In Euro's dance, we'll take our stance. (Outro) Ninety-nine dreams, watch them fly, Like red balloons, up to the sky. We'll make our mark, and we'll make it soon, With Scotland's heart, in the Euro tune.

N4Footsoldier Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 The opening ceremony for Euro 2020(1) was outstanding with Andrea Bocelli belting out a tasteful version of Nesun Dorma. This one is far less likely to get people through the door early to see. Albeit I imagine most will be in their seat well before regardless given the occasion and all pre-match logistics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdgsct Posted Sunday at 12:42 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:42 PM Were he still here, I'd have underated scottish artist, Jim Diamond, singing his first hit (number 3) from 1982 ' I Won't Let You Down'. I'd also have him at the closing ceremony singing his only number 1 from 1984 - 'I Should Have Known Better'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
