Fan petition calls for “Major Tom” as a goal celebration song – what does that have to do with the new jersey
One game was enough to rekindle the enthusiasm for the DFB team. German fans promptly petitioned for a new song to be played when celebrating a goal.
The song “Major Tom” by Peter Schilling is used by “Adidas” in several advertising clips for the new, pink away jersey – and both were apparently well received. As a result, many users accompanied past hits by the DFB selection with the hit from 1982. In the chorus of the song, “the spaceship floats completely weightless” and “completely detached from the earth”.
The techno hit “Kernkraft 400” has been running at DFB-Elf so far
The techno hit “Kernkraft 400” by Zombie Nation is currently being played at DFB goals; the fans decided on this in a vote by the German Football Association in mid-2019. At the upcoming home game this Tuesday (8:45 p.m./RTL) in Frankfurt against the Netherlands, Zombie Nation’s hard beat would be played in the event of a goal, as the DFB announced to the “t-online.de” portal.
If the popularity of the petition remains so high, that is likely to change quickly. “Major Tom” could be used before the home European Championship in the test games on June 3rd in Nuremberg against Ukraine and on June 7th in Mönchengladbach against Greece.
