Now. Let's be brutally honest here. Musically, it's not bad, but great it certainly ain't. It's in the Robson & Jerome envelope - he sings it in tune, and quite nicely, but it's not exactly pushing any musical boundaries. It's not Animal Collective or Battles. It's X-Factor bland. But what is absolutely fecking brilliant about it is that Mr McGrath is looking quite bloody well in that video. He's sung a song for charity, he's let someone film him singing it on a beach and he looks as relaxed as if he was marking Alan Shearer out of a game. Piece of piss. That's worth celebrating. If you've read his book (if you haven't you should, but it's not a comfortable read) you can't help but wonder what he's up to and where his head is at. He could be doing a medley of Right Said Fred songs in a dress for what it's worth, point is he would appear to be alive and well and in an alright place. That, I think, is brilliant.

I think it was just called "Ooa Aah Paul McGrath". A bit of research tells me it was by a band called "Watch Your House" but I can only find their 1994 World Cup song online.http://2manykids.com/fitba/Watch%20Your%20House%20featuring%20Paul%20McGrath%20-%20Ooh%20Ahh%20Paul%20Mc%20Grath.MP3
