Jennifer Lopez pulls out of performing the official World Cup song “We Are One,” which has been criticized for being generic. But there are other alternative, unofficial anthems to appeal to football fans. BBC Culture picked five of the best songs: an updated version of Monty Python’s 1979 track “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life;” Shakira’s follow-up to her 2010 World Cup song, a new beat with thumping rhythms called “La La La (Brazil 2014)”; the viral hit song Zinedine Zidane by the band Vaudeville Smash; the “official unofficial” US World Cup anthem by The Soccer Gods titled “Red, White and Blue;” and Lily Allen’s garage pop tune “Bass Like Home.”
