Fun fact- England asked Chumbawamba if they wanted to make this an official England song for the 98 world cup, Chumbawamba declined, not wanting to dedicate it to just one nation.
Yeah, they were limp-wristed open-borders Marxists for sure. Shame, but at least they made (deeply ironic) bank on their "anti-capitalist" politics, because in terms of raw musical talent and technical ability, they were a dime-a-dozen pub band (particularly by British standards). I wonder if they would've gotten anywhere at all in the industry without "Tubthumping" and a small, diehard fanbase of ideological fellow travelers. (The other big irony I always experienced with them was that their music was remarkably populist and undisruptive in its sensibilities, for a band with such a putatively disruptive outlook. But I suppose they could just justify that with the "Dadaist" label. You can justify any incongruity, even in the integrity of your own ideology, by labelling it "Dadaist". They were also the paragon of the "educated [upper-]middle-class white elite using trust funds to support dumb 'fuck you, dad' causes" archetype. But I don't want to rag on you or them too hard when all you did was post an interesting fact, _sans_ value judgement.)
Thanks, didn't know that story. Well, if they would accept, of sure that track would been more famous with more business in the years for them. But to chose at that way, his honor will still forever! 🤟😉
First time I've watched this video was at MCM International... and now, in 1080p upscalling. MY GOSH!!!!!! Thanks for this video! This one brings me good memories of 1998!
@howienn Being a Chumba song, of course there is a larger meaning, but it is certainly a song about football. That also makes sense for Chumba though... football is the common man's game.
Man in ushanka i think it's like everybody is on "top of the world" doesn't metter if you are a taxi driver, an office cleaner or a footballer extremally famous such as Messi... Despite "power", reputation and economic status we are all equally huamans and important. At least was what i got ;)
Also If you look at the end of the video when the score appears there are references to the students riots in 1968 in Paris, to Sham 69 a punk rock band famous for their football anthem "If the Kids are United" and Alabama 3
This song is created during the World Cup France 1998.. I remembered it clearly because I bought the World Cup 1998 Official Song Album back then! The album included songs such as The Cup Of Life by Ricky Martin and Don't Come Home Too Soon by Del Amitri... I can assure you that this song is not the official song for World Cup 1994.
I'm a taxi driver, I'm a postal worker, I'm an office cleaner, I'm a striking docker, I'm a ballet dancer, I'm a Zapatista, I'm a pop singer, I'm a winner, I'm a winner baby. Sounds like the hymn of a porn actor.

Nice memories from World Cup 1998. This world cup was my childhood. Cheers from Uruguay
Can never forget 98 world cup. Nostalgia.

Nevertheless, my amnesia issues to me a song with this melody but the following lyrics:
"Ole-ole-ole-ole, cup of the world, this is cup of the world!"
Thanks, didn't know that story.

This guy is everything . Nice childhood memories. Fifa 98!! The touch on the ball of Dennis against Argentina.
Chumbawamba's hits are timeless.
Probably the best football song ever!

"I'm a political prisoner."
God Bless, Chumbawumba. :)
Chumbawamba’s take on anarchism is pretty humanist and grounded in joy rather than the bitterness of the fights ahead of us
noone bless anyone
Sound of the great summer of 98 for me
love this song, amazing memory!
My first time watch World Cup was WC 94, but somehow WC 98 still the best euphoria in my opinion.
第一次看WC 98 之後就覺得WC 98最好看
Agree brother. I’ve not missed a World Cup since 94 but 98 (and then 06 as an Aussie) were the best!!
90s....those were the days....
Much more than a football soccer song...
i love this song. Thanks for putting it up.
Best World Cup 1998 🇫🇷
best football song in 1998 :)
Chumbawamba 4ever!!!
1998 Best world cup
This is still the most awesome world cup song

Chumbawamba really thought this was their massive hit back in the day.
