"Give Us a Goal" is a single from English rock band Slade. It was written by lead singer Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea. The single was released in 1978 and failed to chart in the UK. The single was based on football. At the time Slade were still unpopular and were not having any commercial success. Holder suggested that the band write and release a football track to try to get some commercial success.〔The Very Best of Slade 2005 DVD interview〕 The single was also promoted through UK TV, Slade appearing on shows such as ''Cheggers Plays Pop''. The track was used in the TV ad for the popular football video game ''Fifa 09''. The track has since become increasingly popular, gathering approx 85,000 views on YouTube. English writer Chris Ingham described the track as "a fair effort at a rock 'n' roll football anthem although the b-side Daddio was a better bet all around."〔Whatever Happened To Slade 1977 album remaster booklet〕 The single was released on 12" vinyl in Italy during 1978, being Slade's only 12" single at that time.〔http://sladefanclub.weebly.com/uploads/7/6/6/0/7660950/5710200_orig.jpg〕 ==Promotion== A promotional video was created for the single, whilst the band performed the song on the UK shows Cheggers Plays Pop and Get It Together, with the latter performance remaining unseen since the original broadcast. The band's live performances were also a form of promotion. An advertisement from Record Mirror for the single at the time was a cartoon drawing of the band scoring a goal against Lea who appeared as the goalkeeper.〔http://www.sladeinengland.co.uk/gospel/geoff_lake/goal.gif〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Give Us a Goal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
