Too hot to Handel

The BBC have upset some Teuchter by choosing Handel's "See The Conquering Hero Comes" as their World Cup music. The ditty apparently honours the Duke of Cumberland who defeated Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden.

The BBC other favourite, Wagner's "The Ride of the Valkyries" was rejected because of its association with Apocalypse Now - which is a pity cause it's a much more stirring tune to listen to before supporting Paraguay or T&T.
