I must admit that when I first heard Waka Waka I didn’t like it at all. I was also thought it rubbish that Shakira sang the song and not an African singer. But now, I hear bits of Waka Waka here and there, and I must say, it is really catchy.

Shout for England

England is producing new World Cup songs by the day. Shout for England is backed by Simon Cowell. Dizzee Rascal and James Corden have recorded an unofficial World Cup song to show their support for the England team. Shout for England is a reworked version of the 80′s Tears For Fears hit ‘Shout’. All royalties from the song will go to Great Ormand Street Hospital.

(The same song with a different rework is the pivot of an anti crime campaign in South Africa)
