Title: Top of the Flops
Post by: Valentines Park on April 07, 2014, 04:51:49 PM: http://www.essexcricket.org.uk/2014/04/05/have-your-say-essex-fans-for-your-summer-anthem/

"Down Down" by the Quo is a catchy little number.

"Creep" by Radiohead isn't but it should still be Larry's theme tune.

Titles so fitting that there's no need to bother with any punch line.

Except maybe...2+2=5

Then there's Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle of Division Two": "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right..."

And The Pogues' classic "Fairytale of New Writtle Street" - new version in which the ECCC chairman nods off during a committee meeting and dreams that he's running a successful county team.

''Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis''

'Long Road to Ruin' by The Foo Fighters - sums up Essex.
'Living in the past' by Jethro Tull.
More positively - 'We're Gonna Win' by Bryan Adams.
'Song 2 ' - Blur - no cricket link but a very upbeat ,positive song, should always be played at the Colchester Festival (Blur come from the area).
'So you win again' - by Hot Chocolate.
'We are the Champions' - Queen - well we can all dream, can't we??

If we're allowed to paraphrase RTD could come out to "Batting all over the World".

Or should that be Drinks carrying where the IPL is concerned?

Rumour has it that Paul Grayson is auditioning for the Steve Martin part in a remake of the movie, 'Leap of Faith.'

"Dumb & Dumber" is being remade.

Larry & Silverwood would be perfect casting.
