The Fratellis have turned down a chance to record the official song for David Beckham's first game as an LA Galaxy player.

The Scots, who were asked to re-record The Beatles' 'Hello Goodbye' for the July football match, reportedly said, "No fucking way," according to Dotmusic.

"We've turned down a huge list of ridiculous things like that," said frontman Jon Fratelli. "We're not a bunch of travelling salesmen. If we don't get successful on our own terms then we won't do it at all."

He added: "We were like, 'No fucking way.' It would have got us noticed, of course, but we'd have lost our self-respect."

So the band that got it's big break by having there song used in an Ipod commercial is now acting like they are above all of that. Give me a break! If you don't want to be known as traveling salesman you should start by not telling everyone to buy Ipods after you sing "Flathead" at Coachella. Oh, and if you want the respect of your fans how about not canceling your tour and only playing the corporate dates because you were tired. You may have kept your self-respect but you just lost ours.
