I have zero context for this song within 2006 FIFA World Cup and I could not even tell you when full-on songs would be playing during a World Cup game. Would this play during the actual gameplay, during the half, or during the post-game wrap-up? Maybe between games when you are. . . doing whatever it is you do in a FIFA game between matches? I have only seen both my brother in laws ReallyBigAl and Enrico sometime between 2008 and 2011, and maybe they had the music turned down or off, or some other setting; so I guess I could ask them. I also know absolutely nothing about the group Ladytron who released this song back in 2005, being the third studio album from the electronic-pop pop-synth-wave shoegaze group from Liverpool.
What stuck out to me the first time I heard this song was that the instrumental intro sounded like a poppier and more upbeat version of "The Bad Touch" by The Bloodhound Gang. Then the rest of the song is just a catchy synth-wave song about. . .destroying everything the person in the song touches? I mean I guess it kinda makes sense that someone at EA thought that this would be a good song for one of their games (ooooohhh, sick burn bruh!).
That's all I've got. I just liked the song when I came upon it. That is all.
lol, amazing. Destroy Everything You Touch is a great song! so random to show up in FIFA.
