Germany World Cup Song - Give me hope Joachim

England World Cup Blog

With more than a little 'entschuldigung' to South Park and a remake of a song first performed in 1980s by Eddie Grant we present below the German World Cup song for 2010.

 

As World Cup songs go it's not too bad and there is a quiet mockery going on in the lyrics. It is called 'Give me Hope Joachim' in reference to German Coach Joachim Löwe and his lovely dyed hair.

 

The original song was banned by the then apartheid South African government. It reached number 7 in the UK singles charts and number 4 in Germany in 1988.

 

This version is sung by a group called Basta.
