Not sure, but just like with 'please don't take me home', England fans are quick to try and co-opt a song or chant made popular by others. Boston Red Sox were the first sports team to make it popular at their stadium and Aston Villa have been using it as an unofficial club anthem for a few years now.
One day one of them will come up with something original...
Edit: although I've just seen that it was Toon fans who started 'please don't take me home', so maybe we're just as bad... :lol:
