What's the deal with the Ricky Hatton song?

[MrSmall]

Anything north of Watford isn't worth contemplating.

Prince Naseem was from Sheffield. And the only reason Bradford is more like the Midlands to you is because you are a typical Southern prick who couldn't care less about anything North of Watford! Check your maps, Bradford is about 20 miles north east of Manchester, next to Leeds.

I haven't even mentioned Scouse boxers here, Liverpool has had it's fair share of decent fighters.

London boxers... Well there's Bruno and 'Enery Cooper isn't there? They haven't really had a decent fighter for years, Eubank and Nigel Benn were the best you have had as far as I'm concerned. Joe Calzaghi was born in London but he got out as soon as he could the clever bastard!

who was that bloke from east london again? you know, the most recent undisputed heavyweight champ? lennox lewis! yeah that's him, he weren't bad.

Seriously, I think I'd rather listen to a bunch of Brits farting into a microphone than listen to that song again. If I were Ricky Hatton I'd respectfully ask my fans to write a better song!

this ones for you matey

My "opinion" (just like assholes, we all have one) is that it's a bit silly and lazy to take an existing Christmas song and change some words.

Lol no offence taken what so ever and its not ur fault it dont take much for a war to start north vs south lol.

You missed one out:

Who's that lying on the runway
who's that dying in the snow
it's Matt Busby and his boys
making all the fucking noise
'cause they can't get the aeroplane to go.

Well of course it does! The song has been changed just so it is relevant not only to boxing in general but to that fight and that particular boxer!

You would be entirely right if the words hadn't been changed, of course you would but the point is, the song has been changed so it is now about Ricky.

[My dinner with Conteh]

The song is quite shit, mind.

Glad you like them mate! Have you heard them before?

Are you British or American or from elsewhere? If you haven't heard them sung before you can go to the site I mentioned and you can hear the audience singing them.

Because it is important to know and understand cultures from outside your own country. It is wrong to be so insular, especially when you are the most powerful country in the world!

Anyway, to a large extent American culture = British culture due to the majority of Americans having British and Irish ancestry (though that has been changing a lot over the last 100 years due to immigration from other non European countries). And then, we have adopted much of the American culture.
