 Blur bassist Alex James, along with Keith Allen, are planning on wrecking Embrace's party by releasing a rival song in the run-up to this summers Football World Cup finals, taking place in Germany.
The English FA last month chose Embrace to record the official song for the England team, 'The World At Your Feet', but now James and Allen may be coming together again as Fat Les.
Fat Les released the song 'Vindaloo' for the World Cup finals in France in 1998, and this time around Echo & The Bunnymen frontman Ian McCulloch might get involved if the project goes ahead.
"Every winter I forget how cold it gets, and it's like that with every World Cup - you forget how fucking huge it is," the Blur bassist told NME.COM. "The whole world comes to a halt. People have been saying, 'Are you going to do a football record?' and I'm like, 'No', but you start getting a sniff of it. And it's like, 'Embrace?'. I'd do a fucking better job than that. Keith Allen's been calling. I've been thinking about it."
He added: "Ian McCulloch's been singing 'Come on, come on, you fucking England' to the Bryan Ferry song 'Let's Stick Together'. You take the backing track from that, stick McCulloch singing 'Come on, come on, you fucking England!' and Embrace can fucking suck my cock."
