The European Championships begin today in Germany and no doubt this song is ready and cued up to blast out over the PA at a moments notice. 
How a Eurodance hit from the 90s singing about the Buddhist values of rejecting consumerism and greed became associated with Association Football is quite a story - (read all about it). 
Performed by Italian singer-songwriter Gala Rizzatto singing the mantra 'Freed from desire - mind and senses purified' into its 'all join in' chorus is incredibly infectious. 
Chanting "Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na" - let's hear you >


Video above is the 1997 original. Naturally there's a 'Stadium Effect' sound version to celebrate the goals - click on
