Rugby World Cup song palaver.
There's been a lot of chatter in the last few days over the choice of song for the 2011 Rugby World Cup - The Feelers covering Right Here Right Now by Jesus Jones, a hit back in 1990. The general reaction is it's not the most inspired choice. ADDED NZ Herald's Russell Baillie weighs in "Wrong song for rugby singalong".
Right Here Right Now was chosen for the ads as it's "about selling tickets", and is not the tournament's official song, Rugby World Cup chief executive Martin Snedden says (in NZ Herald). That song is World In Union.
The best alternative I've seen anyone come up with was a suggestion on Twitter that they (RWC) use Poi-e with a modern twist, say Che Fu. Then P-Money joined in the conversation, pointing to this wicked video Patea Maori Club with Four Corners and P-Money... Now imagine this under those rugby ads...
