Let's Rejoice in the Beautiful Game, and Together at the End of the Day, We'll All Say,

As promised, here's the first of the TGIF music video posts. I start with a double-whammy of songs that were incredibly pervasive in Madagascar, courtesy of the World Cup.  Those of you who watched it probably know these, but they were EVERYWHERE in Madagascar.  Especially the first one:
Shakira - Waka Waka - This official World Cup 2010 song was a huge hit, and so pervasive that random street kids new not only the song but the dance! Here's the official video:



The second song is Wavin' Flag by K'naan, and was the theme for two excellent Coca-Cola commercials... the first is about goal celebrations (which I only ever saw in French, and was really confused about.. it makes a lot more sense and is pretty cool in English) -



And the second is the same song but another fun video (baobab trees, robots, South African children, and references to the celebrations in the first commercial) -



Happy Weekend!

...When I get older, I will be stronger, they'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag...
