One England fan is celebrating the team’s progression to the World Cup quarter-finals by collaborating with other musicians on Twitter.
Nick Harvey, a TV and film composer, hopped on his keyboard to bash out a version of Baddiel, Skinner and Lightning Seeds’ Three Lions.
Along with his video, he encouraged others to join in, writing: “Twitter band, assemble!”

“I thought it would be a fun thing to do, bringing people together after such a euphoric evening of football, to form a Twitter band of celebrators,” said Nick.
“I have a number of musicians who follow me on Twitter and, well, Football’s Coming Home is THE football song.
“It seemed like the perfect choice.”
I’m in! pic.twitter.com/u1vzrspfwW

This isn’t the first time he has collaborated with other Twitter users to make a piece of music. In May, he turned a tweet from Rob Manuel about pretzels into a fun theme song. Kerry Katona even joined in.
Hey, Pret. I’ve just asked my neighbour to do some backing vocals. Would you mind sending @KerryKatona7 some free food too? pic.twitter.com/0XySZoBU5d

Pret sent Nick some goodies and a gift card for his troubles. Could England bring football home for him?
