"'''World in Motion...'''" is a song by English band [[New Order (band)|New Order]] (performed with the [[England national football team]], credited as ENGLANDneworder). The song is New Order's only number-one song on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. It was produced for the England national football team's [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] campaign and features a guest rap by England footballer [[John Barnes (footballer)|John Barnes]] and additional vocals by several members of the English team of 1990 and comedian [[Keith Allen (actor)|Keith Allen]], who co-wrote the lyrics.

Singer [[Bernard Sumner]] described the single to ''[[NME]]'' as "the last straw for [[Joy Division]] fans", noting how its upbeat sound had inverted their former band's famously gloomy image.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/a-football-song-to-conquer-the-world-1.1105577 | title=A Football Song to Conquer the World - BNN Bloomberg | date=10 July 2018 }}</ref><ref name="Main event: Rising from the ashes">{{cite web|last1=Astley|first1=Conrad|title=Main event: Rising from the ashes|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/showbiz-news/main-event-rising-from-the-ashes-1094145|website=Manchester Evening News|date=29 August 2007|access-date=16 January 2016}}</ref> The song was originally to be called "E for England", with lyrics that ran "E is for England, England starts with E / We'll all be smiling when we're in Italy", but [[the Football Association]] vetoed the title, realising that it sounded suspiciously like a reference to the drug [[Methylenedioxymethamphetamine|ecstasy]].<ref name="'World in Motion' 25 Years On">{{cite web|title='World in Motion' 25 Years On|url=http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/world-in-motion-25-years-on-10-geeky-facts-about-the-new-order-football-classic|website=NME|date=9 June 2015|access-date=2 October 2015}}</ref>

==Song==
===Origins===
The [[The Football Association|Football Association]]'s (FA) press officer at the time, David Bloomfield, who had been a fan of [[Joy Division]], contacted [[Tony Wilson]], the head of [[New Order (band)|New Order]]'s label [[Factory Records]], with the suggestion that the band record a track for the forthcoming [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] in Italy. Without any hesitation, Wilson agreed. Bloomfield had seen and heard England's previous World Cup tunes and thought them uniformly dull, with the possible exception of the 1970 single, "[[Back Home (1970 song)|Back Home]]".{{Cn|date=June 2024}}

Bloomfield had been inspired by a track by [[Colourbox]] called "The Official Colourbox World Cup Theme", and he had noticed that the respected [[BBC Radio]] DJ [[John Peel]] occasionally played tracks by [[American football]] teams, deeming them good enough to play on his show without a hint of irony.{{Cn|date=June 2024}}

Watching television one night, Bloomfield found himself watching ''Best and Marsh'', a concoction of football chat and action clips. When the credits ran at the end of the programme, he noticed that the theme music was provided by New Order. In a [[Eureka effect|eureka-like]] moment, he knew in an instant that he needed to contact Wilson and get the ball rolling.{{Cn|date=June 2024}}

There was a minor standoff between the agent acting on behalf of the England squad and Wilson with Bloomfield acting to get the parties talking once more. The players were by no means all willing to get involved. They were of the view that World Cup records were all dire and many did not want to be associated with a band that few of them were familiar with.{{Cn|date=June 2024}}

==Recording==
The recording session took place before the squad met up on the afternoon of 25 March 1990, prior to an international match at Wembley. The FA had requested members of the squad be involved in recording the song and six players turned up on the day; [[John Barnes (footballer)|John Barnes]], [[Peter Beardsley]], [[Paul Gascoigne]], [[Steve McMahon]], [[Chris Waddle]] and [[Des Walker]]. On the day of the recording, the lyrics had yet to be finalised, with players, band members and others all collaborating on parts. There was a good mood in the studio as the players added their vocals to the backing track that New Order had put together. The FA placed no restrictions or indeed gave any guidance to New Order, although Bloomfield had warned that he did not want anything associated with hooliganism.

A plan to have each player take turns to sing a line of the rap verse was abandoned, and instead it was decided to audition each player to perform the rap in its entirety. John Barnes ended up being selected after Beardsley, Gascoigne, McMahon and Walker were all deemed unsuitable either due to their broad northern English accents or inability to keep the required rhythm. Waddle was not auditioned as Barnes was selected before he was trialled.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=http://inbedwithmaradona.com/journal/2013/9/8/this-aint-a-football-song|title=THIS AIN'T A FOOTBALL SONG - TONY WILSON, BERNARD SUMNER, PETER HOOK, JOHN BARNES AND THE STORY OF WORLD IN MOTION|date=8 September 2013 |access-date=2016-06-28}}</ref> As such, Barnes was the only player given a leading vocal on the song, the others being restricted to backing vocals.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/3694293.stm|title=What makes a great football song?|date=2004-05-07|newspaper=BBC|access-date=2016-06-28}}</ref>

The backing track for "World in Motion..." bore some similarities to the instrumental theme tune for the [[DEF II]] current affairs programme, ''[[Reportage (TV show)|Reportage]]'',<ref name="ott_reportage" /> which had been written for the show by [[Stephen Paul David Morris|Stephen Morris]] and [[Gillian Gilbert]] of New Order. "World in Motion..." was produced by [[Stephen Hague]], who had also produced one of the group's earlier hits, "[[True Faith (song)|True Faith]]". The single was released on 21 May 1990.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=New Singles|magazine=[[Music Week]]|page=37|date=19 May 1990}}</ref> It was New Order's last release on Factory Records.

The "[[They think it's all over]]" quotation, uttered by football commentator [[Kenneth Wolstenholme]] at the end of the [[1966 World Cup Final]], between England and [[West Germany national football team|West Germany]], is utilised at the beginning and end of the track (though not the original; Wolstenholme re-recorded the phrase specially for the producers), and somewhat less known samples, such as "A beauty scored by Bobby Charlton" and "We Want Goals", are taken from ''Goal!'', the [[FIFA World Cup official films|official documentary film]] of the tournament of 1966; the voice is that of [[actor]] [[Nigel Patrick]].

The squad with Allen shout "express yourself" in the verses and sing the refrain at the end; in the "Carabinieri mix" they are also heard providing backing vocals in the chorus.

===John Barnes' rap===
A rap is performed by England player [[John Barnes (footballer)|John Barnes]] towards the end of the track. The song was not originally going to feature a rap; it was the brainchild of [[Keith Allen (actor)|Keith Allen]] after he had been recruited to help inject some humour into the song in case of poor reception.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/perfect-backing-track-as-barnes-rap-hits-target-1986936.html|title=Perfect backing track as Barnes rap hits target|website=[[Independent.co.uk]] |date=2010-05-29|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-06-28}}</ref>

The rap verse has been described as the most memorable part of the original song. According to [[BBC News]] entertainment reporter Chris Leggett, Barnes's 1990 effort was the first time a footballer had managed a respectable performance in a World Cup song, all previous efforts having been marked by out-of-tune recordings and mimed performances on the likes of ''[[Top of the Pops]]''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4852264.stm|title=Game on for World Cup anthems|date=2006-03-28|newspaper=BBC|access-date=2016-06-28}}</ref> Writers such as Tom McGowan have claimed "even England fans who weren't alive in 1990" know the lyrics.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/20/sport/football/world-in-motion-england-world-cup-football/index.html|title=World Cup: When football met rap|author=Tom McGowan|website=CNN|date=20 June 2014 |access-date=2016-06-28}}</ref>

==="The B-Side"===
The single's [[A-side and B-side|B-side]], an early version of the A-side, was titled "The B-Side", extending the football theme of the release. It was produced by former [[Swans (band)|Swans]] member [[Roli Mosimann]]. Besides a different arrangement and some different lyrics, this version lacks the commentary samples and squad vocals, with Keith Allen's "naff football chants and JB impersonation" (as credited on the sleeve) in their place.

===Remixes===
Like "[[True Faith (song)|True Faith]]", "[[Fine Time]]" and "[[Round & Round (New Order song)|Round & Round]]" before it, the single was issued on two separate 12" singles, the first featuring the original mix of the song, the second containing reinterpretations by outside remixers. This would be the last New Order single released in this way until "[[Be a Rebel]]" in 2020/21. Remixers [[Andrew Weatherall]] and [[Terry Farley]] were supplied with an alternative chorus vocal, with the result that the chorus hook on their mixes runs "''We've'' got the world in motion" rather than the original "''Love's'' got the world in motion".

In 1996, [[LFO (British band)|LFO]]'s [[Mark Bell (British musician)|Mark Bell]] remixed version of the song appeared on ''[[The Beautiful Game (compilation album)|The Beautiful Game]]'', which was released to tie in with [[UEFA Euro 96|Euro 96]].

In 2010, one reworked version of the song was used in an advert for the [[Mars Bar]].<ref name="AUTOREF4" /> 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.<ref name="AUTOREF3" /> 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 and Leeds Festivals|Reading Festival]] with Allen. In the interim time Allen had written another England football song, the unofficial release "[[Vindaloo (song)|Vindaloo]]". Allen performed it with the band again at the Move Festival at the [[Old Trafford Cricket Ground]] in 2002,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music/red-carpet-for-move-1165682 |title=Red carpet for Move |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=13 January 2013 |website=[[Manchester Evening News]] |access-date=23 June 2018}}</ref> and in 2005 at [[Glastonbury Festival|Glastonbury]].

John Barnes has occasionally revisited his rap during public appearances.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-27794340|title=John Barnes wows Bristol club with World in Motion rap|work=BBC News|date=11 June 2014|access-date=2016-06-28}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite web|url=http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/480454/Ed-Sheeran-John-Barnes-England-World-Cup-rap|title=WATCH: Ed Sheeran teams up with John Barnes for classic England World Cup rap|last=Heffer|first=Greg|date=2014-06-05|access-date=2016-06-28}}</ref>

The song has often been compared to "[[Three Lions (song)|Three Lions]]", with polls often conducted during England campaigns asking fans which song is better.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportbible.com/football/53021-best-england-football-songs-three-lions-20210610|title=Three Lions or World in Motion? Fans Decide on the Best England Football Song|date=10 June 2021 }}</ref>

In July 2021, the song entered the UK Singles Chart again, charting at number 61 on the chart dated 9–15 July 2021.

The rap in the song was featured in a scene in series 2, episode 5 of the 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, Mick Shipman ([[Larry Lamb]]), and then his mother, Pam Shipman ([[Alison Steadman]]).<ref>{{Citation|title=Smithy's big entrance - Gavin & Stacey - BBC comedy|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHKzsnU3JEo |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/fHKzsnU3JEo |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live|language=en|access-date=2021-06-13}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
