"Three Lions" is a song released in 1996, the official anthem of the England football team for that year's European Championships, held in England. The music was written by The Lightning Seeds, with comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner providing the lyrics. The song was a much bigger success than most football songs, and was said to capture the spirit of the occasion perfectly. The title comes from the emblem of the England football team, which is in turn derived from the Coat of Arms of England.
