Music of the World Cup (1998)

About this title: Music of the World Cup -- Allez! Ola! Ole! is an entertaining collection of football-themed songs from throughout the world, including English versions of the Official Anthem of the World Cup for 1998 (Youssou N'Dour and Axelle Red's "Do You Mind if I Play") and the Official Song of the World Cup for 1998 (Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life"). Certainly, you have to be a die-hard footie fan to really enjoy this -- and even if you are, you'll miss such perennials as England's "Three Lions" -- but it's still a good soundtrack for the football festivities.
