Fatboy Slim has vowed never to record a World Cup song - because he believes they are “all a bit wrong”.

The DJ said he had been asked to write tracks in the past but had always turned the offers down.

His comments come just a day after Dizzee Rascal and James Corden topped the UK singles chart with ‘Shout For England’.

"I have been asked to do quite a few bits but I just think it's all a bit wrong,” he told the Daily Record. “I love football and I love making my own music but I just think the two things should never come together.

When asked what he thought about Rascal and Corden’s number one single, Fatboy Slim replied: “Well, it is all right, I suppose. Sorry, Diz."

The DJ was a number of acts who took part in last weekend’s RockNess festival in Scotland.

You can see highlights from the event, which featured the likes of The Strokes, Blondie and Leftfield, below.
