A Man Who’s Very Tall: An Ode to Nicky Bendtner

In honour of the Danish NT’s sad departure from the World Cup, we have composed this short song about Nicklas Bendtner. Ahem.
A Man Who’s Very Tall
(to be sung raucously to the tune of Elton John’s ‘Candle In The Wind’)
Goodbye Nicky B
Though your team is out of the Cup
You had the grace to take the hit
And not look like a fool.
They said you were a bad boy
And they whispered into your brain
‘Get off the field of play…
…and colour-in your socks’
And it seems to us you live your life
Like a man who’s very tall
Never bowing to the pressure
to wear any clothes at all.
And we would have liked to have known you
(And have your kids), but
Your tourney’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will.
OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!! I LOVE NICKY!!! Damn,why Japan won that game!!!!
That's my new favourite song!
Hahaha mine too
really one of the best songs!haha I love Nicky B!
Some days, this website is my only reason to even get up in the morning. Please tell me you’re currently working on an all-Spain version of “We Didn’t Start the Fuego”….
nay nay!
a song for Nicky B has to be a hip-hop! music bad boys like him listen to!
maybe 50 cent or P.Diddy!
but, I’m so sad I’m not going to see him anymore at the WC!
why is he colouring in his sock
he wanted to have an all-red sock that's what they said
hahaha toally sung it like ‘Candle in the Wind!’ LOLOLOLOLOL Gutted for Nicky No Pants but be seeing him at the start of season, wonder who his team mates will be!!!!!!
EPIC!
He is ugly.
what?!!
why do you think he’s ugly? tell me a good reason.
Very cheeky little rhyme Kickette….at 6'0 myself I have to say I "likey a lot" Mr. Nicky Bendtner however Marco Borriello, who just got ousted along with his Italian teamates, is still my favorite.
hahahahaha this is great
I LOLED AT THE “HAVE YOUR KIDS” LINE
this is beautiful and touching. he will really be missed.
hahahahhah Brilliant! Well done, Kickette!
He seemed kind of clueless during the game yesterday… he might had been having an off day…
I think Denmark lost because Kjaer wasn't allowed to play… all Danish players were good, but Nicklas, Rommedahl and Kjaer were particularly good and important.
I was hoping they made it further down the competition, I wanted to keep enjoying watching those beauties hit the ball!
Oh well, maybe next World Cup…
Him colouring his socks was one of the cutest things I've seen in this WC. Too good!
Anyway, happy for Japan.
