An Australian hit has made it to number one on the UK charts 35 years after it was released.

Mental As Anything's Live It Up has been adopted by Scottish football club Glasgow Rangers as their unofficial anthem.

The hit song can be heard playing in the background.

Lyrics such as 'Hey, yeah you, with the sad face' are used to describe their opponents as the Rangers play for their 55th title.

The side has won 14 out of their 16 matches this season, sending their rivals home with 'sad looks on their faces'. 

Social media users were in stitches over the fact the 1985 song had skyrocketed to number one seemingly overnight.

'I wonder if Mental As Anything have any idea that Live it Up has been adopted as unofficial anthem of Rangers 55th title campaign,' one person tweeted.

Another said: 'I'm picturing the next Mental As Anything tour where fans are jumping about doing the bouncy when they play Live It Up.

'A random 80s hit is now a Rangers anthem.'

One social media user even joked Crocodile Dundee was a Rangers fan, as Live It Up played in the first movie.

Another said they hoped founder of the group Andrew 'Greedy' Smith, who died last year, was proud of how the song was being used.
