YES sir, he can boogie — Scottish DJ George Bowie has teamed up with disco duo Baccara to release a new version of the football fan favourite ahead of Euro 2021.

The 70s singers rerecorded their vocals especially for the new GBX version of their track Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which is has become an unofficial Scottish football anthem thanks to Aberdeen defender Andrew Considine.

He mimed to the track in a stag party spoof video and it's since made its way across the terraces.

Considine was part of the squad that qualified for the Euros and dressing room footage of the players celebrating to the track after beating Serbia on penalties went viral.

Bowie's "discolicious" version has been released today. The 53-year-old said: "The idea came about after the we qualified for the Euros — it wasn't so much an idea more a case of everyone saying 'you better be doing this'.

"It was actually a lot more work than I envisaged. I thought I could sit down at my piano, batter out some chords and play with some beats, throw the acapella on top and all would be well."

Baccara came on board after Bowie's friend "thrashed out a deal" with their management. He said: "It was very exciting watching it all unfold, although it has cost a lot of time and money to pull it all together, but none of that matters.

The National:

"This is Scottish sporting history unfolding right before our eyes and to be involved,with many other incredible artists, suppling the soundtrack well that is the sort of thing dreams are made of.

"Footballers dream of playing at the tournaments, we dream of them running out to our tunes."

The original version hit number one in 14 countries and has sold more than 18 million copies, making it the biggest selling song of all time by a female group.

However, the original recordings were lost in a fire at RCA in the 1970s and Bowie had to book a recording studio in Palma, Majorca, and fly the duo in to re-record the song. Bowie said: "Their vocals are incredible.

"They nailed that vocal better than anyone could ever imagine.

"The ladies are total professionals."

Bowie went on: "Initially I just wanted this to be an anthem for the Euros for the Scotland fans to chant it for a couple of weeks and then we'd move on, but the reaction has been insane.

"It's been signed to Casual Jam Records in London which are owned by Mr Revillz, who has a massive YouTube channel and he was the guy who introduced us all to tracks like Dancing In The Moonlight and the Majestic version of Rasputin.

"He reckons that this could be a huge summer anthem all over the world so I'm willing to go with that.

"Ideally I'd like to think people will still be loving this track long after the football ends."

On whether fans use his version or the original, he continued: "As long as Scotland get a victory against England, I don't care whose version you're singing. Good luck to everyone else, I'm just glad to be part of it too."
