      I'm pretty sure that the theme song is Wavin' Flag by K'naan …



    8. 8

      I thought she was going to release a new album. Thanks for misleading me ASSHOLE.



    9. 9

      i think..they pick the perfect person to sing this song. truly.



    10. 10

      Looks like Beyonce lost some weight, finally!



    11. 11

      i thought K'naan did the theme song?



    12. 12

    13. 13

      im pretty sure Knaans waving flag is the Theme song..shakiras song will probably just be part of the "voices of the world cup" album they realease everytime

      Great song… but shakira? why wouldn't they use an african singer??????????



    15. 15

      i think weaving flag was only for promos and stuff this is the official one i like it alot dont love it i wish it was faster



    16. 16

      what happened to "waving flag"



    17. 17

      This is a Rip off! Once again she has copied an old Dominican song. I believe de chorus is the same as the one of well known dominican songwriter Wilfrido Vargas. He wrote it for the group Miriam Cruz y las Chicas del Can. She has done it before using a very famous chorus originally from Luis "terror" Diaz on the song "My hips don't lie". What's up with that? And you can youtube it if you like and find out for yourselfs.



    18. 18

      OMG can't wait for the World Cup!!!!! And this song is amazing



    19. 19

      I like it.



    20. 20

      Re: Cambarao –

      Go to Wikipedia and search "Zangalewa"

      ""Zamina" or “Zangaléwa” is a 1986 hit song, originally sung by a makossa group from Cameroon called Golden Sounds who were beloved throughout the continent for their silly dances and costumes. The song was such a hit for Golden Sounds that they eventually changed their name to Zangaléwa, too.The song pays tribute to African skirmishers (a.k.a tirailleurs) during WW2. Most of the band members were in the Cameroonian Army themselves and used make up, fake belly and fake butt for comic relief.

      The song is still used today by soldiers, policemen, boy scouts, sportsmen and their supporters, usually during training or for rallying."

      Before giving any opinion. Inform yourself



    22. 22

      AFRICA is a continent, idiot. It's held in SOUTH AFRICA. And for whoever asked why we're not using "African" singers, WE HAVE. The tracks just aren't released online and definitely not on PerezHilton.com. Sorry, but it's not a lifetime achievement for us to have a song on here.



    23. 23

      i think the 2006 mix shakira did for fifa world cup 2006 was way more fun!!! it was like everyone unite n shit like that.. way more exciting then this…



    24. 24

      She is So Freaking Hot… I'd almost go gay for her



    25. 25

      She put a new twist to an old song…I used to listen to this song when i was a kid. Some artists from Africa did this song.



    26. 26

      i also hurd the new version of wavin flag for 2010 fifa world cup and its pritty good too might need to be a little more up beat too tho..

      Re: meme1981 – Y SIGUE CON LO MISMO

      READ my COMMENTS above please educate yourself with music! the song is not from las chicas del can! NOR is it Wilfrido! SONG IS FROM GOLDEN SOUNDS AFRICAN BAND FROM THE 80s. HENCE WHY SHAKIRA WANTED TO REMAKE A SONG AFRICA+WORLD CUP= Keeping traditions!

      dumbasses!



    40. 40

      omg omg I love love love it !!! SHAKIRA ROCKS MY WORLD!!!!!



    41. 41

      EXCELLENT!! luv this song ;)
      Waving flag by K´naan ft. David Bisbal is the official theme of Coca Cola, and this one by Shaki is from the FIFA official album



    42. 42

      i like this =]



    43. 43

      I really like the song, thought I don't understand a thing of what's she saying!!!



    44. 44

      Shakira is collaborating with a great South African band called Freshlyground. The woman singing with her is Zolani Mahola. We love their music here! Great track!



    45. 45

      Perez!! Its not Africa…Its SOUTH Africa! Dont be ignorant! AND she recorded the song with Freshly Ground who are a top top SA band! check them out. ps lots of fans down here so be considerate! loves you!!



    46. 46

      I'd agree with you but she never looks like that. ^ Every time I see her out and just performing she looks completely different and a bit uglier. Less makeup? Hmmm. I love the song though!



    47. 47

      This song is going to be a world wide hit!! Shakira is an international song and once again combines rhythms from other parts of the world with a touch of her own…She is a girl from the caribbean which has a lot of African influences! Loves it



    48. 48

      I hate it, I liked the other song better.
