Shakira's Wold Cup Anthem

Posted by: Blake Solomon (05/04/10)
Shakira's World Cup Anthem "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" has been receiving flak from South Africans and most football fans in general. The song is in the replies, how do you think it stands up to other sports anthems?

How does it compare to other sports anthems??

In a world where We Will Rock you exists, nothing will ever be better.

i think its a catchy song, but i could understand why south africans are upset with it. it kinda feels like "aw look at africa they're hosting the world cup how cute." the fact that its sung by a colombian, and not an african, doesnt help much either

I hate this. If this song was breathing, I'd want to strangle it to death.

Some parts have a very Paul Simon Graceland feel to it.

This is just infuriatingly stupid. Next time someone gets pumped to Shakira, let me know.

Yup.

But seriously, of all people, Shakira? If the WC is going to get people to write "anthems" for it, I imagine they can do much better.
