The Liberal Democrats have been mocked for what the Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party dubbed a "political freakshow", after they rewrote the Three Lions to make it about rejoining the EU.
The famous football anthem has been rewritten by Lib Dem activists, turning it into a prpro-Brusselshant.
The anthem is expected to be performed at 'Glee Club', taking place at the party's conference in Bournemouth later today.
Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg hit out at the move, telling GB News it is a "desperate attempt at attention-seeking by a rightly ignored third party in a two-party system".

He told the Express: "It sounds like the whole of the Lib Dem parliamentary party will be leaving on their one minibus while singing their new silly songs. Ed Davey is no Ed Sheeran."
Meanwhile, MP Jonathan Gullis added: "What we’ve seen are yet more politicians who are sadly all too willing to sell out our country for their buddies in Brussels.
"Nobody is stopping these Remoaners from moving to the EU, so instead of virtue signalling, why don't they just do it!"
While Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has denied that the party would seek to rejoin the EU, the party's Foreign Affairs spokesperson Layla Moran admitted that the party wants to rejoin.
Speaking at a fringe event on the first day of the conference, she said: "We want to rejoin. We want, as part of it, to get back into the Single Market.
"We recognise that, in order to do that, we have to do stuff before, to get to that relationship.

"How do we talk about it in a way that doesn’t push people away, so where is that sweet spot?"
A Liberal Democrat spokesperson said the party wants to be "at the heart of Europe".
They added: "Right now, the priority is to fix the broken relationship with our closest trading partners and get a better deal for our farmers, fishermen and small businesses."
