world in motion". In 1996, LFO's Mark Bell remixed version of the song appeared on The Beautiful Game, which was released to tie in with Euro 96. In 2010, one reworked version of the song was used in an advert for the Mars Bar. The A side features heavily in the film Butterfly Kiss; both the song itself is heard as well as the two main actresses singing versions of it. Re-release The single was re-released for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, this time with the track "Such a Good Thing" replacing "The B-Side". It failed to enter the UK Top 40. This version was planned to have David Beckham performing the rap, but the F.A. vetoed the idea. It was due to have been re-released again in remixed form for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but despite a release date in the United Kingdom of 29 May 2006, a last-minute decision was taken to shelve this release, and the remix has never surfaced. "Such a Good Thing" would be the final original New Order song to be released as a B-side, with all following singles simply including alternate mixes of the A-side and/or previously released tracks (typically in a remixed form). Legacy In 1998, New Order performed the song live for the first time at the Reading Festival with Allen. In the interim time Allen had written another England football song, the unofficial release "Vindaloo". Allen performed it with the band again at the Move Festival at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in 2002, and in 2005 at Glastonbury. John Barnes has occasionally revisited his rap during public appearances. The song has often been compared to "Three Lions", with polls often conducted during England campaigns asking fans which song is better. In July 2021, the song entered the UK singles chart again, charting at number 61 on the chart dated 9–15 July 2021. In popular media The rap in the song was featured in a scene in Series 2, Episode 5 of the popular British sitcom Gavin & Stacey. In this scene, the character Neil "Smithy" Smith (James Corden) starts the rap when Gavin Shipman (Mathew Horne) opens the door to welcome Smithy to his home. Gavin then joins in the rap, followed by his father Michael “Mick” Shipman (Larry Lamb) and then his mother Pamela “Pam” Shipman (Alison Steadman).
