Waka Waka and Other World Cup Songs

So who isn’t singing that Waka Waka song already? You know the official World Cup song?

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.

Knaan’s Wavin Flag

One of the early contenders for World Cup Anthem was K’naan’s Wavin Flag, which I really liked. I actually thought Wavin Flag was the song.

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)

    I met Eric today. He was in Camps Bay trawling from home to home looking for a donatin to assist his fair to the Eastern Cape for the Arts Festival. Why is he not sponsored? Can someone in the industry please fund his trip?! He’s obviously well deserving!

    The beautiful game is great…..if the RAINBOW VUVUZELA was used it would sound quite unique because of the many different sounds possible with the vuvuzela. These go way beyond a single trumpet note great. Check out this link to see and hear this exciting news
