What is it that makes it a such a stand out that pretty much everyone everywhere wants to sing or chant it?
Rugby, now football, drunk lads everywhere....

And does Jack White get a commission every time it is played after a try/conversion/goal?

I prefer Hard Fi doing the Clash covering it.

The main riff is a great singalong tbh (I like that it always means making up your own words, because the original doesn't have any in that bit. Ohhhh Paul Hartley is Gaaayyyy-ayyyyyy.

(not condoning the use of gay as an insult btw, but his face the first time it happened was a picture, 20000 people in perfect voice...)

Weird thing is, despite all the moronic chants to the bassline (yes, I know it's played on the guitar) I can still listen to the song, I thought it would be totally ruined for me after the Euros.
Glitch Mob did a good remix/cover of it.

Alice Russell also does a great cover of it.

It's because they're supremely awesome.

Called that because he thought that's what the Salvation Army were called when he was a kid.

Boat one is pretty good though.
