Dudes. Dudes. What about New Order's tune for the 1990 World Cup, "World In Motion"? It's magnificient because it combines house, pop, sports-rap and football chants.
Here's the clip from Top of the Pops, when it had hit #1:
(Man, the '90s seem really old now.)

Mr Slack, you're pretty much obligated to continue being an awesome writer and keep doing good things online.
It's been a pleasure.
