The Ashes 2017-18: Mitchell Johnson used to sing Frozen song Let It Go in his head… to block out England’s Barmy Army abuse
Aussie quick, who terrorised England in the 5-0 drubbing four years ago with 37 wickets, would perform a mental rendition of Disney anthem to block out chants that "did a job on him"
AUSTRALIA hard-man Mitchell Johnson used to sing Frozen song Let It Go in his head... to block out England's Barmy Army abuse.
Ahead of this winter's Ashes series Down Under, BT Sport sent England legends Graeme Swann and Michael Vaughan to meet Barmy Army trumpeter Billy Cooper.
During their chat, Vaughan incredibly revealed Johnson - who utterly tormented England four years ago - would sing the song in his head as he began his bowling run-up.
Vaughan - who captained England's famous 2005 Ashes series victory on home soil - recalled: "I interviewed Mitchell Johnson last week.
"He said the Barmy Army had done a job on him.
"He said the way he got over the barracking from you guys, because his kids would watch Frozen, was to sing Let It Go at the end of his mark, to completely nullify the Barmy Army.
"To be fair to him, he did that!"
Swann also told Barmy Army trumpeter Cooper one of his favourite Johnson moments.
The England spin legend claimed: "As he walked out to bat, second innings [of the Fifth Test in Sydney in January 2011], you sung at him all the way to the middle.
"Chris Tremlett ran up and bowled him first ball... then you sung it all the way back.
