    Anyone know where i can download the Irish theme song for world cup 90?
    I think it was called 'the flame' and sung by Horslips :confused:
    It was to the tune of 'we didn't start the fire' by billy joel

    Thanks,

    Crikey, I remember those songs and all the craic during Italia '90 (I was only 9!!)

    So, after extensive research :rolleyes: I managed to find this page on Wikipedia.....The Game

    Like it says "The Game is a lyrical adaptation of Billy Joel's song "We Didn't Start the Fire" by The Memories which had the words change to highlight Ireland's run in the 1990 World Cup."

    And i found this aswell........

    The Game by The Memories

    even though it's more of a clip show of Irish soccer rather than just footage from the 1990 World Cup. Still great though :)

    and

    Put 'em under pressure No video this time, just the song! This is the one that sampled Horslips.

    Hope some of this comes in handy.

    //edit. Just found this. Had to include it.

    There'll be no Alf tonight!! :D

    Nostalgia ain't what it used to be :D
