Coldplay have closed the Nokia Isle Of Wight Festival tonight (June 11), paying special tribute to England striker Peter Crouch.

Including songs 'Yellow', 'Swallowed In The Sea', 'Fix You' and 'The Scientist' in their set, frontman Chris Martin unveiled his tribute to the lanky footballer.

"I've got a secret to share with you," Martin told the crowd. "If England do well in the World Cup we're going to release a single called 'Do The Crouch'. So if England win the world cup we're going to get our first number one."

Calling the song "very simple", Martin then revealed the lyrics: Get up off the sofa/ get up off the couch/ stop what you're doing and do the Crouch/.

The band then worked the song about the former Queens Park Rangers man into several of their own tracks.

On 'Don't Panic', which saw guitarist Johnny Buckland sing the second verse, Martin worked the lyrics into the final chorus, he did the same during 'Talk' and copied the striker's robotic dance during 'In My Place'

 

 

That's fantastic! Anyone has the video of the fest? I really wanna see Chris Martin do the robot dance!:laugh3: BTW, is Chris Martin a Liverpool fan?

Nope, Chris is a grecian, and always will be :D (Exeter City, sorry) But I think he prefers a bit of cricket...

 

I haven't seen a video yet - I don't think it was shown on any of the tv coverage - someone may have videos, but you'll have to wait a bit for then to get back.

He's probably a Londoner, that's the only link I can think of

He's probably a Londoner' date=' that's the only link I can think of[/quote']

 

Well it's the only logical reason, as it's a pretty obscure piece of info bearing in mind how insignificant it now is!:P
