Croatia Beat England To ‘My Penis Is A Mountain’

DID you watch the game last night? Enjoy the anthems? Did you, as Old Mr Anorak did, stand proud and erect as God Save the Queen drifted over the ether, albeit altering the final “Queen” to “Team”?

It is always good to try the new, and we urge the BBC to alter the words each time to satisfy those voices that crave more original programming. The BBC might like to try substituting Queen for “Bean”, “Spleen” and – a small vanity, admittedly - “Sorene”.

And did you join in the Croatian anthem, too? That was a still more original rendition. It was a joyous moment indeed as British singer Tom Henry gave full throat to “My penis is a mountain”.

The lyric might have gone “mila kuda si planina” (“You know my dear how we love your mountains”) but in Mr Henry’s maw it became “mila kura si planina” (”Dear Penis, you are a Mountain”, or “My Dear, my penis is a mountain”).

Mate Prlic, publisher of Croatian football magazine Torcida says: “It would be great if Tony Henry could join the Croatian team and fans at the European Championship in Austria and Switzerland.

“He obviously relaxed the Croatian players before the match at Wembley and if that’s a winning combination why not invite him to join the team at Euro 2008 to keep the winning streak going?”

Why not. And if Tom can slip in a God Save The Queen to break up the sea of foreign anthems, so much the better…
