The BBC has chosen the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' song 'Heads Will Roll' as the theme for their Euro 2025 coverage. The accompanying stop-motion animated sequence features claymation representations of top European football stars set against the Swiss Alps. The video concludes with the slogan 'names will be made'. The animation was created using traditional hand-crafted techniques instead of computer-generated imagery, emulating the unique charm of stop-motion. This selection marks a notable departure from the typical thematic music often chosen for major tournaments.
The accompanying video package features claymation depictions of some of European football's biggest stars in action in the Swiss alps, ending with the slogan 'names will be made'.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs released Heads Will Roll in 2009, which was the theme song chosen for BBC Euro 2025 coverage, making it different from previous choices.
