We’ve held off talking about the official Euro 2008 song as long as possible on these pages, but the vitriol couldn’t be held back any longer. This is a truly, hatefully woeful effort at ‘getting down with the kids’, marred even further by a completely feeble and derisory video, showing Flix and Trix doing what they do best and getting ‘right on your tits’.

Combining the very worst of Euro pop with the unintelligible lyrics of Mr. Shaggy, ‘Like A Superstar’ looks more like an Eastern European attempt at a Coco Pops advert. That a man who has penned timeless classics such as ‘Mr. Boombastic’ should put his name to a tawdry steaming pile of garbage like this must be testament to the equivalent mound of Euros he got paid to record it.

There isn’t an easy place to start, so let’s go with the lyrics. Those that could be understood sounded like words from a Eurovision reject song, you know, the one that doesn’t even make it to the final stages of Song For Europe by some washed up soap star. All about reaching for the top and being a superstar. Trite (also rhyming slang in this case), predictable and just plain stupid.

The video stars two of the weakest mascots ever seen in the history of the tournament, and there have been some fairly strong candidates for the worst icon of all time. They gambol through their Alpine surroundings wearing inane grins and performing unlikely….well flicks and tricks.

There are not words enough to describe just how bad this piece of offensive rubbish is. This video should come with some sort of health warning, and clicking on the link may make your eyes bleed. You have been warned.
