Top ten songs about Jimmy Anderson

Pete and Gids top ten songs about Jimmy from TOUCH AND GO

Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy!!! Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy!!!

He’s gone. Done. Finito.

Curtain call has been done, game played and won. 22 years worth from JA.

Pete and Gid put together a top ten on yesterdays podcast to celebrate a stellar career. Here it is ICYMI;

Only fitting that there’s a suitably eclectic mix of tunes to send the dear boy off into the glorious Lancastrian sunset with a pint of stout to be going on with in retirement.

TOUCH AND GO - Top ten songs about Jimmy Anderson

---

Butthole Surfers- Waiting for Jimmy to Kick

David Bowie - Ashes To Ashes

Fugazi - Bulldog Front

James - Sit Down

Swing for the Crime - The Saints

Neil Young - Old Man

OK Go - I'm Not Through

KNEECAP - Get Your Brits Out

Graham Parker - Don't Ask Me Questions

I’ve included this rendition of a “Pint of Plain is Your Only Man” primarily because it is

1. An actor reciting the poem (which Pete hates with a passion)

2. Set to music (which is the format of this top ten)

It’s also got Brendon Gleeson who has been academy nominated as an actor, plays both fiddle and mandolin and is an advocate for Irish Gaelic language; so I’m backing him in to do a decent job on this poem by Flann O’Brien (Titled ‘The Workmans Friend’.)

You can get Pete’s preferred Seamus Heaney poetry on spotify.

Shout out to Tony Korman who threw us these suggestions from The Saints;

Know Your Product
(Jimmy certainly knew his)

(I’m) Stranded
His unbeaten 0* (in his farewell test) was his 114th in Test Cricket

Feel free to drop a comment on any other worthy song titles about Jimmy’s career.

Congratulations to the swing bowling maestro; certainly earned a pint or two.
