"Eng-er-land" is a song by Bad Manners off their 2003 album Stupidity. It was covered and recorded as Come on England, a music single by the band 4-4-2. A football-themed song, it was released in June 2004 to coincide with the England national team's appearance at the European Championships. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 2.[1]
The song is a re-working of the Dexy's Midnight Runners hit, "Come on Eileen". It was played exclusively on talkSPORT radio and several of the station's presenters, including Adrian Durham, Alvin Martin and Micky Quinn, provided backing vocals on the song's Top of the Pops and CD:UK performances.
