Lost Horizons

What a bleeting song!

There is yet another England World Cup song, it’s not quite 3 Lions on your shirt . in fact the song has been recorded by a flock of singing sheep. Yes sheep. The Baa--rmy Sheep have released their own very distinctive version of Land of Hope and Glory and the single is free and available from the Cumbria Tourist Board website www.golakes.co.uk/worldcupsheep there is also an accompanying video. The sheep were recorded baaing in the fields of the Lake District by local musician Charley Darbeyshire A spokesperson for the Cumbria Tourist Board, said, "We hope this sheep single and video puts a much-needed smile on the face of football fans and the England team." Featured in the video is a look-a-like of ref Pierluigi Collina, struggling to control a game between herds of sheep as a football is pursued over mountains and streets. Perhaps this single will be better received that the official song from Embrace, however Tony Christie’s re-jigged, ‘Is this the Way to Amarillo’ seems to be getting the terrace vote at the moment. I hope the sheep got the correct musicians union rate for their recording, I’d hate them to get fleeced!
