Yeah Nah: Goes Black

So, five songs or artists with Black in the title - and nothing as obvious as Acca Dacca's rock classic - to mark tonight's big game against the French. Why link music and sport, you wonder? Why indeed - but what would highlights packages be without the upbeat soundtrack, and what would countless American Football movies do without Foo Fighters' My Hero to set the tone?

Not included here are: One Black Friday, Paint it Black, Back in Black (of course), Back to Black (of course), My Old Man's An All Black, Black Velvet, Men in Black, Black Betty, Blackbird, Black Hole Sun, Black Magic Woman and artists Frank Black, Rebecca Black, Black Keys, Black Seeds, Black Sabbath, Pitch Black, Black Crowes ... the list goes on...

Black - Wonderful Life

1987 - The All Blacks win the World Cup, and Black releases Wonderful Life. Coincidence? And no, his name's not really Black, it's Colin.

Los Bravos - Black is Black

Rumours the lyrics had recently been altered to "Black is black, I want the Webb Ellis Cup back" are unfounded.

Cilla Black - Step Inside Love

Born Priscilla White, Cilla Black released this song written by Paul McCartney in 1968. One of the better Beatles' songs not sung by the Beatles.

Black Eyed Peas - Don't Stop The Party

Don't.

Pearl Jam - Black

Rolling Stone readers this year voted this one of the best ballads of all time. It's a bit sad for this sort of exercise, but so full of emotion and atmosphere that it makes sense.
