Baddiel and Skinner re-release Three Lions
Published Monday, May 1 2006, 16:34 BST | By Matthew Houghton
World Cup anthem 'Three Lions' by the Lightning Seeds and comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner will be re-released for this summer's competition.
The song, which has already hit the top spot twice, will make another bid for number one this June - and is released on the same day that Embrace release their official World Cup song 'World At Your Feet'.
A source revealed, "There are no plans to update the song and re-record it, and they will put out the '98 World Cup version.
"There is almost an obligation to release it. It would let the team and the country down if 'Three Lions' was not part of our bid for glory this summer."
The single will be released on June 5.
