Goleo: No. 1 Hit Recording Artist

The lion without trousers might have brought down a German business, but that doesn’t mean Goleo is going quietly into the night without one last roar. I was reading some FIFAspeak over on the official site about how great the truly horrific music will be at the World Cup, when this phrase jumped off the computer screen: “Before a ball has even been kicked at the tournament, GOLEO has scored a No.1 hit with his first single from the album, ‘Love Generation’, recorded with Bob Sinclar.”

Try as I might, I wasn’t able to find a single music chart that listed the song as number one, but really I didn’t try all that hard.

I did, however, find a music video featuring everyone’s favorite mascot failure. Since I forced myself to watch the whole thing I only feel compelled to make you do the same.

Fans of the song will be sad to learn that it is not part of Voices, the tournament’s official album.
