Frank Skinner and David Baddiel have released a reworked festive version of their Euro 1996 hit Three Lions in time for the World Cup.

In a new music video released on Friday, Baddiel and Skinner are dressed in Christmas jumpers while entering a room featuring their younger selves.

After playing homage to the Lionesses Euro 2022 triumph, with scenes of jubilation playing out on television, they sing: "The blokes seem cursed whatever they try and I think I know why... they’re just jinxed in July."

Other memorable re-worked lyrics of the original anthem include: "But it’s December. Three Lions on a sleigh with she-lions inspiration; Santa says, 'Let’s play... the Christmas tree formation'."

Addressing the controversies surrounding this year's hosts, they sing: "When they decided on Qatar, should have checked VAR.

"It’s too hot and too far, so we’ll be snowflakes watching it here; this is our time of year, we’ll be having a beer."

Discussing releasing the record, Baddiel told the One Show: "The Lionesses brought it home, football came home and some would say that’s the end of the song, stop singing it.

"But we decided to give it one more go on the basis that the blokes have not brought it home."
