    I remember being staggered when I first heard this on the radio, where it was Simon Mayo's record of the week!

    I still play it now. Out and out the best World Cup song ever.

    No. We haven't had one for a few years now, which is a shame. It's not as if "removing this distraction" has improved the performance of the team in major tournaments

    Best World Cup song by far. In fact I can hardly remember any others. Something by Ant and Dec as well as another one by the Spice Girls and Echo and the Bunnymen?

    All 3 are great football records, but different

    World in Motion is more of a song about football, whereas the other two make much better terrace chants. The crowd singing Three Lions at Wembley in 1996 was amazing (as was in its own way the German team singing it after winning the tournament...)

    That's the one that went "how does it feeeeel... To be on top of the wooooorld". It was cack. However... I was in gran Canaria with a mate, all pissed up, when England lost to Argentina. The DJ thought he'd reflect the mood by playing the lighthouse family one that starts "when you are close to tears remember...". It got booed right off. Spice girls and echo right back on please.

    Goes to show... You might be knocked out the world cup on penalties, you might get the most annoying red card ever, you might cheer sol Campbell only for elbows shearer to stuff it up (probably racism, eh sol) you may be dancing to the spice girls... Just when you think it can't get worse, it can. Fucking lighthouse family. I ask of you!

    The only case in pop history of an act having a UK No.1 and following up with a No.2 with none of the original members on the record...

    I love New Order and this song but Three Lions is the definitive England song.

    Three Lions? Three Lions?
    I always thought it was SEA Lions.
