Ian Broudie is on stage, crooning his way through the classics in front of an estimated 40,000 football fans, but there's not an England shirt in sight and the Lightning Seeds frontman isn't telling us It's Coming Home.
Broudie may be responsible for penning arguably the most famous football-themed song ever released in the United Kingdom back in 1996 with Three Lions - a tune that enjoyed a summer-long renaissance last year as Gareth Southgate's England went all the way to the European Championship final - but here in the Parisien sunshine, as the afternoon temperature soars into the 20s, the Liverpool-born singer is performing only to a sea of red.
But it's not just supporters who are enjoying the live acts on stage at the fan park a few hours before the Champions League final. This jubilation extends to club officials too.

As Broudie treated the thousands there to a rendition of the Lightning Seeds' 1992 release, the Life of Riley, Liverpool's vaunted sporting director Michael Edwards can be seen front and centre, enjoying himself alongside his soon-to-be replacement, Julian Ward.
The famously low-key Edwards may be one of the most celebrated in his position across world football, but here, he's just like everyone else, performing some air guitar and pointing his phone at the stage while he soaks up the celebrations of a season to remember.
Such has been Edwards' desire to shun the media spotlight during a decorated spell that spans over a decade at Anfield, it's possible few even recognise who the guy with the VIP lanyard in Liverpool's brand new shirt is.
"F*** off, is that Michael Edwards!?" says one shocked supporter upon learning of his identity. "To be fair, I've only ever seen that one picture they use of him in all the news articles."
Liverpool's only sporting director to date parties alongside others from the club that include Liverpool Women promotion hero Missy Bo Kearns, academy goalkeeper Harvey Davies and several others.
UFC star Paddy 'the Baddy' Pimblett is also in possession of a backstage wristband and is in a relaxed mood as he poses for pictures with several of the French security guards overseeing the fun.
The biggest star of the day, however, is undoubtedly Sir Kenny Dalglish, who is all smiles backstage at the Place de la Nation event as the Heineken bottles are passed around for some ice-cold afternoon refreshment.
For all the success that Jurgen Klopp has enjoyed as Liverpool's manager since October 2015, that these type of afternoons are possible may just be his greatest achievement.
The march to the first of three Champions League finals four years ago was enough to rouse a sleeping giant as far as a supporter-base goes. Organically, as Klopp's team surged to Kyiv in a thrilling, swashbuckling style that was defined by the number of goals they scored, a re-energisation of a group of followers who had largely become jaded was unfolding before our eyes.
From Shevchenko Park in Kyiv to Madrid's Plaza Mayor and now here, in Paris' Cours de Vincennes, Reds fans have been reinvigorated by their return to Europe's top tier in recent years. And this, these joyous scenes of red, is how their support manifests on the biggest stages.
Of course, much credit must go to those who have organised the 'BOSS Night' events in recent years as Liverpool's weary supporter-base has found its groove once again.
"We talked about the journey under Klopp, the lead up to this moment and it was just a big celebration of Liverpool FC," says John Gibbons of the Anfield Wrap, who kicked off the day on Saturday. "Oh, and Divock Origi!"
On stage, the songs that have come together to form something of the official Liverpool playlist over the last few years are played to the thousands waving their flags, scarves and pretty much anything else they are in possession of.
From Robin S' Show Me Love, the Peter Gabriel hit Solsbury Hill and, of course, Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa's One Kiss collaboration, the adopted anthems boom out all afternoon.
Smoke billows into the Paris air as flares - which are red, obviously - are let off and those there can be heard belting out songs about Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and, of course, Klopp, who is serenaded to the adaptation of the Beatles hit 'I Feel Fine'. That relatively new ditty has been the song in heaviest rotation in recent weeks.
"They've got to go and win it now, haven't they?" says another fan in attendance. "And if they don't, d'you know what? I'm not even that a****!"
It would be a stretch to say that supporters aren't overly interested in the result of the European Cup final later that night, but it's clear that this is what it was really about for everyone who had made the relatively accessible trip across the Channel. It was the "celebration of life" that Klopp had wanted.
"Days like today, you know, whatever happens in the game, this will never be taken away from the people here today," says Jamie Webster to the ECHO, ahead of his headline set.
Of course, events later that day would sour things hugely as thousands of fans were locked outside the Stade de France. The disgusting and disturbing treatment of supporters will rightly continue to pose questions of both UEFA and the French authorities, whose shocking organisation was downright dangerous at Saint-Denis.
But in time, it is hoped another abiding image of the weekend in the collective mind's eye can be the daytime events at Cours de Vincennes. It was the people of Liverpool FC in rare form, living the Life of Riley.
