I was in Tobago earlier this year and there was a great tune doing the rounds with a chorus line including the word “Deutchland” but I can’t remember the title. Any suggestions?

Hi John, I think the song to which you refer is “Deutschland” by Ronnie McIntosh. You can check out this link
Hope that helped.
You can find all the songs you need to properly support the Soca Warriors in Germany at the download section of http://www.thewarriornation.com. This of course does not include the “official” (British) song, but all the real soca songs, including “Deutschland”, “Warrior Anthem” and the best of all “Fighter”.
