Sung by Shakira [who's Colombian - just saying] and supported by our own Freshlyground….this….is American I…is the official World Cup 2010 song.

Sounds like it belongs in a Disney movie. It’s like the theme tune for Madagascar 4. Almost a mocking, stereotypical, sweet African song. It’s safe [something you'll let the kids nod off to just before you tuck them into bed], predictable and rather boring.

What they should have done was gotten Fokofpolisiekar, Die Antwoord, Jub Jub and Snotkop to join forces to record a fresh version of Welcome to the Jungle as the official tune. Mix in images of cannibalism, Toi Toi’ing, street football and Meerkats all set in the District 9 studio and you got a number one hit. Aaai?

Step aside Simon Cowell.

Fokofpolisiekar interview

Last night the Cherryflava Peep Show had its debut at the New Space theatre in Cape Town.

A huge word of thanks has to go to Fokofpolisiekar, Justin Bonello, Dave Levinsohn, Zoopy.com, “Nick and Dave”, Sean O from Good Hope FM, Softlight City [for the flashy theme tune], New Space Theatre & the GRAND DADDY Hotel, Tradewinds, and our crew for making things possible.

If you weren’t at last night’s show, you’ll be able to watch the whole thing on Zoopy as of tomorrow.

In the meantime, here are some of the backstage pics.

Take a peep

After four very successful BRAND HOOLIGANS and SecondBase events this year – Cherryflava will be finishing off 2009 with the debut of our very own marketing talk show which we’ve baptised ‘The Cherryflava Peep Show’.

If you’re a fan of Fokofpolisiekar, Dave Levinsohn, Justin Bonello, Bed on Bricks or us – it would be very rude of you not to reserve a ticket or two for next week’s show.

Tickets are going fast – so if you’re keen to see the live show, please check out the details here and let us know.

It’s on Wednesday 18 November at the New Space Theatre in the city. Starts at 18h30 – ends at 20h00 and should be a hoot.

BTW – if you aren’t able to make it, we’re having the whole thing filmed [it is a TV talk show after all] which will be posted on Zoopy

If you’re a fan of South Africa’s premier in-your-face rock oufit you should do two things – keep your eyes glued to Cherryflava.com over the next week for some exciting news…and check out their movie.

For some of us it’s a toss up between this and Earth. Fluffy animals vs thrash animals…fluffy animals vs thrash animals…
