Baddiel Skinner And The Lightning Seeds

The Lightning Seeds and comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner collaborated in 1996 with the official anthem of the England football team, Three Lions, for that year’s European Championships, which were held in England. The music was written by Ian Broudie, with comedians Baddiel and Skinner providing the lyrics with the title title referring to the emblem of the England football team, which is in turn derived from the Coat of Arms of England. The song was re-released with different lyrics in 1998 for the Football World Cup, Three Lions ‘98.
