Fueled by football and riding high on the wave of Britart and Britpop, three-headed supergroup Fat Les – originally comprising Blur bassist Alex James, actor Keith Allen and celebrated artist Damien Hirst – struck out with their "Vindaloo" single in 1998 and scored a timeless hit. "Vindaloo," which was released in June 1998 and recorded for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France, it took its title from a spicy Goan curry and was intended to parody football songs. It ended up reaching Number 2 in the UK singles chart, losing out to the chart-topping "Three Lions '98," and became indelibly associated with Fat Les, along with its hit music video that features various British pop references and stars. In 2000, the band also recorded a track for the England football team at Euro 2000, which saw Michael Barrymore join Keith Allen in a rendition of the hymn "Jerusalem." In 2012, Fat Les changed their name to Fit Les and released "The Official Fit Les Olympic Anthem" to mark the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Alex James has since quit the band and Happy Mondays' singer Rowetta joined the lineup, along with producer Matt Eaton.”
