Paolo Di Canio Singing 'Dancing In The Moonlight' Will Be Give You That Friday Feeling

If you're searching for that 'Friday Feeling' then the only way to get it is to watch Paolo Di Canio singing 'Dancing in the Moonlight'.

A rare clip of the enigmatic and controversial Italian belting out the Toploader anthem has been doing the rounds in social media and it's undoubtedly the best thing you will watch today.

The footage is taken from when the former West Ham and Napoli star was celebrating promotion to the third tier in his first managerial job with Swindon Town.

Di Canio looked to have had a few sherberts and fancied himself as a bit of a singer at the 'Party on the Pitch' event a few years back.

But while he played with a real swagger about him on the pitch, his vocal chords weren't really designed for singing. Still, he had plenty of stage presence about him and the video remains complete and utter gold.

It seems that every footballer butchers their mandatory initiation song when they join a new team but there is one major exception. Chelsea star Tammy Abraham really can sing and showed off his soulful voice when he signed on loan for Swansea City.

His manager at the time, Paul Clement, looked stunned as the striker belted out the Boyz II Men hit 'End of the Road' in front of his teammates.

What a soulful voice.
