Football Fever

The footy season is here - and this year soccer’s the only game in town, with Australia playing in the World Cup for the very first time.

Not surprisingly, footy fever is in the air, with kids everywhere discussing their favourite players, kicking balls and eagerly awaiting the start of the World Cup in June.

Now - whatever code of footy they play - kids everywhere have a soundtrack for their football passion. ABC Kids has just released a sensational collection of music titled Football Fever - a collection of stirring songs about football, enthusiasm, cheering and celebrating.

Football Fever features 16 specially selected tracks that are sure to make the whole football experience even more exciting and inspiring.

A highlight of Football Fever is the high-energy "There’s Only One Harry Kewell" (sung to the tune of "Guantanamera"), about Australia’s star Socceroos, including Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Mark Schwarzer.

The soaring "The Cup of Life" has been included as a tribute to the World Cup, and "Let’s Get Loud" will resonate with anyone watching Australia’s performances in those edge-of- the-seat games.

"That’s My Team" is a song of pure patriotism, and of course Aussie kids everywhere are hoping against hope that "We Are the Champions" will be the right song at the end of the contest - or perhaps "Daydream Believer" is more appropriate.

Other tracks on Football Fever include that classic Aussie anthem, "Down Under", "You Get What You Give", "Hot, Hot, Hot", "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", "We Will Rock You", "Lift", "Walking on Sunshine" and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)".

Football Fever captures all the emotion and excitement that comes with the World Cup, a well as the passion and dedication that comes with a love of the game.

Football Fever’s an inspiring, positive, fun album that’s sure to get plenty of airplay on the home and car CD player as the World Cup edges closer. It’s an album that kids and their parents can share, enjoy and use to celebrate as their team wins - or cheer themselves up with if things don’t go quite so well.
