Fat Les created the England national football anthem "Vindaloo" as an unofficial theme song for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The song was a sort of homage to the lighter English football culture stereotypes: lager drinking, curry eating 'lads' passionate about football, the sort who visit exotic holiday destinations only to watch English football matches all afternoon via satellite in English themed pubs. The song reached number two in the UK charts. The promo video was a parody of a video by The Verve for "Bitter Sweet Symphony" and alongwith the band members features Paul Kaye, Rowland Rivron, Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Fat Les also provided the song for the England football team at Euro 2000 held in Belgium and the Netherlands with a rendition of the hymn Jerusalem.
