England's World Cup song to be unveiled

The England football team's official World Cup song is being unveiled.

The Football Association has kept the artist or artists behind the theme a closely guarded secret ahead of the launch.

Ant and Dec are hotly tipped to be the FA's choice but some reports suggest Swedish group The Cardigans have been approached.

But a string of other artists, including Fat Les, Terry Venables, Bell and Spurling, and DJ Otzi, are also planning to release World Cup songs.

Football fans are hoping the song will be more memorable than the official anthem for the 1998 World Cup.

(How Does It Feel To Be) On Top Of The World was overshadowed by Fat Les's Vindaloo and Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds' Three Lions '98.

A survey by the football website 4thegame.com found fans voted Robbie Williams the number one choice to sing England's official World Cup song.

The poll of 1,060 people placed the singer top with 57% and New Order were the first choice with 25% as the band who should record the song.

When asked who a collaborator on the single should be, David Beckham came top with 42%.
