    I absolutely peed my pants! I can only assume it's targeting East Asian 'fans', an attempt to build their profile over there. With such enchanting lyricism as 'we're fighting the butterfly' and 'we're getting ready to sweat', it can't fail to do so.

    Come on Ben, get a tarn version going. I reckon half our squad think they're in One Direction anyway. Or maybe Ben Pearson could do a Britpop anthem.

    The glory of reading? I thought it was about books. Disappointed to be honest.

    The chorus is quite catchy - a lot better than Ozzie's Dream with Tottingham.
    Singer's tidy as well

    Judging by the "like the king of our land, they call us the Royals" line it's been made for Thailand.

    Awful song though and the rap is nonsense, "shedding sweat"?

    To be fair it's a cracking tune.

    Wow. Catchy tune but so cringeworthy. 'With our might', 'Kings of our Land'... it's Reading not Barcelona!

    It's not that it's ****, it was bound to be ****, all official football songs are **** (notable exceptions being Three Lions and World in Motion). It's that so much money has been thrown at it. That hasn't been done in a shed, it's been professionally put together with proper writers, musicians, a singer, producers and studio time. And all that adds up to make it sound even worse. Such earnest and grandiose lyrics about a club that the majority of football fans think is 'tin pot' was always going to have the exact opposite effect of the one intended: it just sounds like a piss take. Not that we could get away with it either (only a few clubs in the world could and they'd be accused of being arseholes) I just hope to god we never try.

    The Just Like Watching Brazil single anyone...

    When I worra lad, Reading's nickname was The Biscuitmen. That might have been a bit more problematic to utilise within a pop song.

    It's a good job they haven't got any real rivals - they'd have a field day!

    Edit: and that was before I got to the rap sequence. Can't believe people still think that's a good idea.

    Edit 2: Key change! This is amazing.

    Why? What?

    I'd bang a couple of the women in the vid. Not sure what else can be said about that.
