It's England Time
In 2010, Slimani re-recorded the single in support of the English Football Team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Aptly entitled "It's England Time", a play on "It's Chico Time", it uses the same basis as the original version, but with amended lyrics. The song was first played on The Chris Moyles Show. Slimani recorded the version after having a 'vision' that England would win the 2010 World Cup, and that in the celebrations, commentators would make reference to his song. The single was released on February 8, 2010. Proceeds went to Rainbow Child Foundation to help under privileged children in Africa.
