Games without front ears

During the quieter moments of World Cup games, Spike and me have been coming up with punny song titles based on this year's tournament. Just for fun, like. Anyway, with another rest day on our hands (thoroughly stupid invention, by the way, World Cup rest days) we've now whittled the originally rather cumbersome list of a couple of hundred songs down to a more manageable forty-five, which you can see listed below. If you don't like daft puns, now might be a good time to divert your eyes!
