**** me with a broomstick!

It’s been nearly four weeks since Euro 2012 started and it was only this week, after it ended, that I discovered there was an official song of the tournament! It’s ‘Endless Summer’ by Oceana, in case you
don’t know.

How could this happen? How could I miss what must be the number 1 song in all of Europe? Unless… its not the number 1 song in Europe… unless… it’s absolute dross…

And, it’s not even good dross, the kind you secretly like but wouldn’t admit to, like Dizzee Rascal and James Corden’s “Shout” (not that I’m admitting I like it, but…)

This is Europap of the worst kind, a bland dance anthem that’s designed to soundtrack a teenage lager shandy bender in (Your Not Getting A) Shagaluff.

But can it really be that bad with lyrics like this:

Endless summer, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Endless summer, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Oh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh it can!

Jukebox Durie will take a break in July as it heads away on its summer holiday to get restocked for the start of the new season. It will return at the start of August leaner, meaner and with a full
pre-season of tracking down obscure Scottish tuneage.
