I didn't like it the first time, and irritated me even more the 2nd time I watched it.

They should just stick to cricket, is what I feel.

It's one of those songs that's terrible but is actually quite catchy.

Every other world cup is four years. I like four years, it feels right to me. Being further apart makes them harder to win, makes them more worthwhile and lets the winner/fans boast for a longer period.

Having them too often risks further cheapening of an already trashy product - I am not bagging it as such here, I watch it - and if it is four years, then every two years, the ICC have a world cup. If it is two years for the T20, then three years out of four, there is a world cup of some sorts. Oversatuaration, imo.
Maybe
