However when every major tournament comes around, a song is released to hit the charts and get the nation behind our football team. Some of these songs have been immortalised, whilst others you may have forgotten (or wish you had)! So what is the best England football song? Let us know what you think!<\/p>\n<h4>World in Motion- New Order and Keith Allen, featuring John Barnes<\/h4>\n<p>Released in time for the 1990 World Cup, this song reached No.1 in the charts and lives long in the memory. John Barnes announced himself on the world stage as a lyrical miracle, with a rap halfway through the song. The video featured an England team in the \u201cfashionable at the time\u201d short shorts working out in a gym. Big shout out to Tony Adams and Ray Wilkins, looking good lads!<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1320\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Re4aDJL3heA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Three Lions- David Baddiel and Frank Skinner<\/h4>\n<p>Released for Euro 1996, Baddiel and Skinner\u2019s contribution to the England football tournament has been immortalised. Another one to reach No.1 in the charts, the lyrics \u201cFootball\u2019s Coming Home\u201d are still sung at matches 20 years later. A classic song appropriately marking a classic England defeat on penalties.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1320\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RJqimlFcJsM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Vindaloo- Fat Les<\/h4>\n<p>The 1998 World Cup saw the official tournament song overshadowed by a remake of Three Lions and Vindaloo. Vindaloo is synonymous with English football and is a classic sing-along. It\u2019s also a reason as to why the English are hated when it comes to travelling abroad for football tournaments.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1320\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KaBdajHOsSM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nAnd a live performance\u2026<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1320\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QR2zXbg5fP0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Sven, Sven, Sven- Bell and Spurling<\/h4>\n<p>Never specifically released for a major tournament, Sven, Sven, Sven hit No. 7 in the charts in 2001 and commemorated a 5-1 victory over Germany.
