Fat Les - Vindaloo (1998)

This song, an anthem for England in the 1998 World Cup, is about the ubiquitous spicy curry of Indian restaurants in the UK as an icon of dumb brawling sports nationalism.

It comes from Alex James (Blur), Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd) and Keith Allen (Lily & Alfie’s dad), just a year into Tony Blair’s “Cool Brittania” reign

It is the most ‘90s thing

(Also, video parody of The Verve)

that too. I forget those guys in the shadow of The Verve Pipe sometimes
