More World Cup tuneage

Manchester comic Frank Sidebottom has launched his very own unofficial World Cup songs titled Three Shirts On My Line. It is a parody of a very well known World Cup anthem, but we will let you guess which one.

The song is inspired by Frank’s England shirt collection – home, away and goalie – all being washed by his mum at the same time.

He told the Manchester Evening News: “The song just rolled off my tongue, faster than a fast-speed washing machine. I asked my mum where my England shirts were and she said that she had washed them.

“I looked outside and there were three shirts on the line. I thought that it is a brilliant idea for a song. Thirty-five years of dirt washed out by my mum.”
