Fat Les - Vindaloo (1998)

\n

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.

\n

It comes from Alex James (Blur), Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd) and Keith Allen (Lily & Alfie\u2019s dad), just a year into Tony Blair\u2019s \u201cCool Brittania\u201d reign

\n

It is the most \u201890s thing

\n
\n

(Also, video parody of The Verve)
