Guru proposes new G4S theme song

July 18, 2012

It’s not been a good week for G4S. They’ve spectacularly failed to fulfil their contractual obligations to secure the Olympics and then Nick Buckles stunned everybody at the Home Affairs Select Committee by appearing as incompetent and witless as any of the bankers or Murdochs that have been dragged through the various committees over the last few months.

Worse than any of this is the G4S theme song, which is less inspiring than a Bon Jovi B-side (do they still have B-sides?).

In the light of recent events surely it’s time for G4S to update its corporate song. Guru has some ideas and welcomes contributions from his many millions of readers:

I Predict A Riot
Money For Nothing
Just Can’t Get Enough (security guards)
Help! (I need somebody to provide security for the Olympics)

Guru awaits your suggestions.

Robert Wright:

Song suggestions:

"There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's a G4S security guard"

or perhaps

"This is England" (what did you expect?)
