Three Lions by Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds was a UK number 1 hit on Thursday, July 19, 2018 spending 1 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. This song was written for the 1996 European soccer championship which was being held in England. The England supporters took the song to their hearts, singing it at all the England games - it climbed to #1 in the UK and a new national anthem was created. The song brackets verses of frustration and regret about England soccer not winning any major tournament since 1966 with a lusty music hall chorus. A Lion has been a symbol of England since the late 11th century, and was featured on early versions of the English Coat of Arms. This song's title comes from the emblem of the England football team, which shows three lions walking and showing full face.
