Can footballers sing their own songs? Or is that a little bit wrong?
Image source, Getty ImagesSpurs followers have taken to proclaiming Harry Kane is "one of their own" from the terraces and the marksman has admitted he likes the tune.
"I've never sung it myself, but I've hummed it walking out of the stadium to my car," Kane tells FourFourTwo., external
"I could hear it from the bench before I came on [at Villa Park] and it sent a shiver down my spine."

Jay: Forget #clubvcountry. The English football team will beat the English cricket team in cricket. The football match might be a draw, though.
50 shades of Tay: If Yorkshire had all of their England players playing such as Root and Ballance, they would walk all over England no doubt.
And,. just to prove Pietersen and Strauss did get on at one time, here's a couple of bromance-style pics from as recently as 2012.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe photos are from the second day of the first Test against West Indies at Lords, and capture the moment Strauss celebrated hitting a century.
Image source, Getty ImagesAh, memories, like the corners of my mind...
We've not written about Kevin Pietersen for at least 24 hours, which is possibly a first, so we'd better put it right immediately.
The Surrey batsman has warned one of the most important tasks for Andrew Strauss - set to be appointed England's new Director of Cricket - is to restore English cricket to its public, after a "treacherous 15 months".
Image source, Getty ImagesPietersen, who wants an England recall for this summer's Ashes but has had a difficult relationship with Strauss in the past, said on the website BreatheSport: "I hope Strauss and ECB bring the public back to the team after a treacherous 15 months.
"They owe it to the fans! He has some HUGE decisions. Hope he gets them right."
A round-up of what's been happening so far today:

Now you may remember that earlier (09:58 to be exact), we showed you the pair of gold shoes Sir Bradley Wiggins will wear when he attempts to break cycling's hour record on 7 June.
It takes a man of confidence to wear gear like that ... but judging by what Wiggins has been saying today, he is definitely not a man lacking in that department.
Image source, Getty ImagesTalking to The Times, external - and reflecting on fellow Brit Alex Dowsett's new world record for the hour of 52.937 kilometres, set in Manchester last week - Wiggins said: "It sounds a bit horrible to say, but I think I could break the record tomorrow.
"But I don't just want to break it, I want to put it right up there, as far out of reach as I can."
Now that's fighting talk.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt looks like AC Milan are about to be bought out, or at the very least, a large portion of the club will be acquired by a Thai businessman.
Bee Taechaubol, who runs a number of companies through his investment vehicle Thai Prime, has met with the club's controlling shareholder Silvio Berlusconi and wants to purchase a minimum 49% of the club, reports BBC Sport's Richard Conway.
"This is a sound investment, and I am looking forward to tremendous success on all fronts with AC Milan," said Taechaubol in a statement.
"Once we have concluded the deal, we will roll up our sleeves and get to work. The club is not where it should be: fighting for the Serie A title, and in the final stages of the Champions League."
At which point, we obviously have to show you that very amusing picture of Horan falling over as he carried McIlroy's bag at Augusta.
Image source, Getty ImagesNot sure what's best about the photo - the comedy fall or the way McIlroy is looking at him as if to say 'what on earth are you doing pal?'
What is it with pop stars?
First we had Justin Bieber in Floyd Mayweather's changing room, now One Direction star Niall Horan has announced he will play alongside world number one Rory McIlroy at the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am later this month.
Horan, a 12-handicap player, carried McIlroy's bag at last month's Masters par-three competition in Augusta.
The pair will team up again at Wentworth, 21-year-old Horan saying: "I'll probably be more nervous than in front of thousands with 1D, I'm hoping Rory will give me a few tips on calming the nerves."
Image source, SportA nice unbiased front page to Spanish newspaper Sport. Well, sort of. They focus on Pep Guardiola's return to Barcelona as his Bayern Munich side face Barca in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
The headline says 'Thanks Pep, but we're going to win'.
Hampshire are hopeful that injured fast bowler Jackson Bird may be able to play for the county sooner than first thought.
The 28-year-old Australian has shoulder and neck injuries, but will now stay in the UK to undergo treatment.
Image source, Getty Images"It might link in with when we lose Fidel Edwards to the CPL in mid-June. That's the plan. Get him fit and going mid-June and get him on the pitch," director of cricket Giles White told BBC Radio Solent.
"If he is over here we will see where we are. It is one of those injuries that we are not really sure of a recovery date as such, it's slightly open-ended."

Sounds like Huddersfield's clash with Salford on Friday could be tasty.
Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson has told his players to exact revenge for a serious injury to England international Brett Ferres.
Image source, Getty ImagesAnderson is still angry over the "cannonball" tackle by Salford stand-off Rangi Chase during the Red Devils' 18-12 win on Good Friday that left Ferres (pictured scoring for England) sidelined for three months with an ankle injury.
"We owe them one - it's as simple as that," Anderson said. "I've still got an international forward not playing because of some of the cheap shots they did that night. We've got to make sure we're good physically."
Blimey, might be worth watching this one.
