Ambush - Figurines - Skeleton - 2005

I am fairly convinced that my Playstation 2 hates me. I've talked to others who share my love for EA Sports' soccer game FIFA 2008 about this exact thing and they have all agreed they game sometimes decides that you simply should not win. And it's usually in ridiculous situations. As an Arsenal fan, I play my "season" as them...so let's say I'm playing Barnet in the League Cup (For Americans, this would be like The Colts playing your local MeetUp team)...by all logic, even with a team of second stringers, I should simply clobber them...but because it's a cup competition, the game decides that all laws of logic and physics should go out the window and the underdogs should be plucky or some shit.

As such, here is my list of the ways in which my Playstation 2 Cheats at FIFA...
* The Unstoppable Free Kick - This has been the prefered method of cheating of every version of FIFA I've ever played. You commit a foul (usually stopping The Battering Ram - see below) somewhere near the edge of the box. The opposition player steps up to take it, and all of the sudden he is Cristiano Ronaldo (who is a douchebag)...the kick curls right over your wall and goes straight into the net. Your keeper stands by idly staring as the amatuers score.
* The Header from A Corner - This is the same basic idea, just another method for doing it. Ball goes out for a corner. The opposition sends it in, and a player you can do nothing to stop heads it into your net. I will say, this is used to be the preferred method of cheating for the game in previous versions, but the new version has replaced it with something even more annoying...
* The Battering Ram - This one is particular to the latest version. You score a goal, the opposing team restarts and their Center Forward takes the ball and runs right down the middle...and you just can't stop him. Every slide tackly you put in will somehow miss, every attempt to hold him back will be easily shaken off. All of the suddden, Angus McDrinkstoomuch becomes Didier Drogba (who is also a douchebag) and will go all the way to the goal and slot it in the net.
* Your keeper shows up drunk - This one is fun. Most of the time your keeper is controlled by the computer, this makes the times when he makes a mistake even more infuriating...cause you didn't do anything. Your keeper is holding the ball and then all of the sudden drops it...or throws it straight to the opposing player. Infuriating.
* The Off-The-Ball Foul - You can only control, at most, two of your players at a time...the rest are managed by the computer until you switch to them. This makes incidents where a player you aren't controlling commits a foul especially galling. It's even more fun when the foul conceedes a penalty. Good times.
* Hand ball - You have absolutely no control over your players arms...so when the ball hits them, how exactly were you supposed to get them out of the way. Again, when this move results in a penalty, it is cause of much cursing at the television.
* Your players can't hit the broadside of a barn - Suddenly, your players just can't hit the back of the net. You can take 300 shots on goal and they will all rocket over the bar, strike the bar, go wide, or go right into the keepers arms...anyone's who's ever actually watched an Arsenal game knows that this does happen in reality occassionally.

Anyway, this is probably the best song on this Figurines album (I never acquired their second record...so I guess that make this my favorite song of theirs?). It does well to combine their cold Dannish style with a sort of rockabilly twang and a catchy chorus. There's also a pretty cool organ part during the outro?
