‘Nobel’ Rik Mayall Sings World Cup Anthem.
Rik Mayall is releasing a World Cup song and it promises to give England a patriotic boost ahead of the tournament in South Africa.
The actor is having a go at making an anthem that will be a hit with fans under the guise of the other man of the people, Henry V.
“Those three forks, that is what England is missing,” Mayall holds three fingers up to Sky News.
“Football, Shakespeare and Rik Mayall. Those are the three greatest cultural things that England has.”
Mayall hopes his song, Noble England, will change the fortunes of a football team with patriotic zeal.
There will be no official song by the England squad, so the path is cleared for a glut of unofficial tracks racing for prominence before now and June.
Rik’s Noble England is released on St George’s Day.
Former stand-up comic Mayall starred in hit television sit-coms The Young Ones, Bottom, Blackadder and The New Statesman.
He has also appeared in a number of big screen and TV films, including Drop Dead Fred and Guest House Paradiso.
