Radiohead France 98 World Cup Anthem - Save Us England

It's a little known fact that Radiohead recorded the official England anthem for France 98. Here it is then, in all its glory, "Save Us England"... (Written and Performed by Me, James Griffiths and Jamie Sefton. Directed by Charlie Simmonds)

pt2. Don't let these American kid commenters that don't know what satire and parody is get you down! True Radiohead fans know what a labour of love this must've been and spoofs 4 songs and videos at the same time while making a catchy song that sticks with you (well, I've remembered it for 13 years!).

@beatchef - Great to hear that you've remembered it after all this time! Thanks for letting us know - really appreciate it.

What football ground is this filmed at? Is there more than one stadium featured?

[markoswin]

Can't remember the name of the ground (it was filmed about ten years ago). It's somewhere in London, but that's all I can tell you (I got driven there and didn't pay much attention). It is all just one stadium though...

pt1. Thanks so much for uploading this (and of course making it!) I have been looking for this for years and nobody believed it existed :P I watched it on Paramount Comedy Channel when it premiered and taped it but didn't label it so only found it once before losing it again.

[Alexisthecrowing]

I'll give them that this is a pretty clever spoof (especially the Johnny Greenwood guy, ROFL), but I would've liked it if I didn't have to get confused first and check the comments just to clarify. It really shouldn't have been professed as such in the description.
