The band who penned a song beloved by Barack Obama have penned another in honour of QPR’s trip to Wembley on Saturday.

Irish folk band the Corrigan Brothers scored an unlikely home hit with ‘There’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama" when they discovered the USA president's distant family connections to the Emerald Isle.

They have now come up with ‘Back to the Premier League QPR’.

It appears the band of brothers from Limerick have a heart for Hoops dating 30-years plus, as guitarist Brian Corrigan explained.

“When we were kids, Don Givens was a hero in Ireland and he ensured all of Ireland had a soft spot for QPR,” he added.

“Now Irish legend Richard Dunne as well as Kevin Doyle are flying the Irish flag at QPR and we felt it was worth celebrating the team in song".

Back to the Premier League QPR will be released this Friday (May 23), and the band hope to be in Loftus Road to perform the song at the start of next season during their UK tour currently being scheduled for August.

Corrigan added: "We would love to raise the roof of Loftus Road with a live performance of the song”.

Rangers fans should be warned that with lines like: “O’Leary, O’Reilly, O’Hare and O’Hara, there’s no one as Irish as Barack Obama,’ the song may well find its way to the list of football songs as good as Back Home, Ally's Tartan Army and 1982 England’s: This time (we'll get it right) - they didn’t.

The last time the Corrigans had a go at a footy ditty, it was an adaptation of their hit. ‘There’s No Team as Wembley as Bradford City’ was remodelled in honour of the Bantams Capital Cup final appearance last season. Don’t take it as an omen, but City were trounced 5-0 by Swansea.
