Music sometimes can have many different kinds of purposes. Just like how camp songs can be sung in a sports arena, England fans for the England Lionesses were singing the song “Sweet Caroline”.
It doesn’t really make sense why the England fans are singing the song. What we simply know is that it kind of acts like their own unofficial anthem. According to Newsround, “Paul Carr, professor in popular music analysis at the University of South Wales, wrote an article about what makes a great tournament anthem. He said: “The big thing is the simplicity of the melody, and there’s something in the lyrics.” If those fans are excited and pumped up everyone will be.
Since most people usually hear the song when you’re at camp, it’s super weird to be hearing it at other places. Now, I guess this camp song will be sung in the stadium too.
