The track "The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme" was originally intended as a baseball theme, and almost lived up to its name when it was up for consideration as the theme for BBC's World Cup Grandstand during the broadcast of the 1986 Soccer World Cup in Mexico.

colourbox were behind the worldwide hit MARRS - pump up the volume. I think they had a fair amount of money going through their hands. probably millions. didn't really capitalise on it either.

If everyone who watched this video lobbied the BBC and ITV to make it the theme tune for the 2014 World Cup, we could maybe make the members of Colourbox and 4AD millionaires. WOW.

I remember playing the 12 inch on the turntable and my 6 month old son bouncing up and down in his cot.

I don't know what you have in mind to do today, but this song will convince you to go out and do it.

Colourbox were great, I love that whole mid-80s big production Trevor Horn-4AD sound.
