Waka Waka: The official World Cup 2010 song

Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

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.
