It was first performed by Cardiff City fans at Sincil Bank, home of Lincoln City, on September 15, 1990, the day after U Thant had played a gig at Cardiff's Chapter Arts Centre.

Why was this ad in news last year?

In American slang, XY is a term for idle talk. It dates back atleast a century –

"There’s too much XY an too little fighting in this war, anyhow" is a quote from Stephen Cranes 1895 novel The Red Badge of Courage.

It can alternatively be used as a euphemism for punching someone in the jaw. In the late 1800s, at baseballs inception, the phrase XY was used to describe razzing or heckling from the fans. It began being used as a synonym for a brushback pitch around World War II. In modern Baseball and Cricket however, it means deliveries meant to target X.

Give XY(two words)
