UEFA EURO 2012 official song

-

Having had a No.1 single in both co-host countries, German-American pop star Oceana is the natural choice to sing the official UEFA EURO 2012 song, the upcoming release of which is widely anticipated. Oceana – whose 2009 hit Cry Cry topped the charts in Poland and Ukraine as well as other European countries, and featured a video shot in Kyiv – is to deliver the song that will showcase this summer’s much awaited UEFA European Championship to the world. The 29-year-old not
only won the audience award at the prestigious 2009 Sopot song contest, she also participated in the Polish version of the popular Dancing with the Stars television show. Presenter on the German/French Arte TV channel, she was introduced to UEFA by the Embassy of Music. Oceana connects black to white, funk to soul, modern soul to jazz and pop. Her new song will be released ahead of UEFA EURO 2012.
“I’m looking forward to the EURO 2012 championships and am so happy to be part of this amazing event! I love football and can’t wait to perform my song in a stadium. Soon the wait is over and we can all celebrate when the goals are scored!” she said.

Poland select 18 old ladies to perform their official Euro 2012 song:

The bar for European Championships theme songs was set extraordinarily low with Shaggy's Euro 2008 anthem 'Like a Superstar', which is good news for Poland and their Euro 2012 ditty 'Koko Euro Spoko'.
The Poles were given the right to choose their Euro 2012 song on an X Factor-style TV show on Wednesday night. Pop groups, ska bands and a rapper were beaten by Jarzebina — Polish for rowanberry — an 18-member ensemble of heavyset Polish women in traditional rural dress.
Some Polish football fans have reacted angrily online, suggesting the "kitschy" and "embarrassing" song might have won the competition through some sort of vote sabotage. Even the staunchest of Jarzebina critics, however, will have to admit the chorus is pretty infectious.
