Top 5...Footballers that attempt to make music

When they are not earning loads of money training for a couple of hours each day, what do footballers do? One answer is music. However, unfortunately, the case is not simply listening to it. Some even make it. 

This week's Top 5 looks at footballers that have attempted to make music, from the ridiculous to the downright criminal.

Number 5 - Neil Danns aka Dannzy - Summer Flowers

A friend introduced me to this, telling me that it will make me feel like a new person. By 'new person', I can only assume they meant like a newborn child, screaming and crying. 

Number 4 - Clint Dempsey aka Deuce - Don't Tread

Fulham maestro turns his hand to hip-hop, and whilst actually not that bad a tune, it still is Clint Dempsey rapping. 

Number 3 - Piola Vago - Dejala

Well, a real turn up for the books. "Who are Piola Vago?" I hear you ask. The clue is in the video, and it's really a decision as to what is more embarrassing. Is it Carlos Tevez's dancing in the video, or is it the band that he plays with? I'm inclined to definitely go for his dancing, as I can't really complain about a style of music I have no idea about. 

Number 2 - Ryan Babel - Freestyle Rap

This really is quite abhorrent. It is what is wrong with the two worlds of football and hip-hop combined. Rapping about money, and how good you are is something that maybe only Lionel Messi could get away with, but since it's Ryan Babel, it really is quite disgusting. The video asks you to read the English translation. I would advise you - there's no point. It's more fun imagining what Babel should be actually rapping. 

Number 1 - Andy Cole - Outstanding

It has to be. This song is either the funniest oxymoron for a title of a song ever, or Cole genuinely thinks it's Outstanding. What makes this number one is the fact it was released, it has a proper video, and that it's Andy Cole embarrassing himself. Picking out single lyrics for praise is tough because they are all quite interesting, but 'United forever, whatever the weather' really does sound like it was written by a 5-year-old that had just learnt what a rhyming couplet is. Brilliant work.
