South Africa 2010 Anthem: K’Naan – Waving Flag

April 1st, 2010 | by: Taylor |

It may not be as edgy as some of you out there would like, but give it a listen. I must admit, every time I hear it I get incredibly excited for this summer. Alcohol, crowded bar, screaming with your countrymen (or countrywomen) when the ball hits the back of the net… 70 DAYS!!!

That’s really all I have to say. I pretty much just wanted an excuse to post this, cause I’ve pretty much been listening to it on loop for about 45 minutes. Obviously, you have to overlook Mr. Bisbal’s absurd hand motions and horrible dancing… If you’d prefer a more stripped down version, then go ahead and try this one instead:

I love this song. I think it fits perfectly and is a lot better than the 06 song (hips don’t lie-bamboo). I have both the origanal vesion and the remake w/Bisbal on my playlist. It’s funny that you posted this today. Earlier I was on Youtube and watched both of these videos.

Here’s a link to the remake version that’s all English. It’s from some concert in SA (I think), with the crowd copying the dancers up on stage. Seems like a great concert.

Watching the Houston/Real Salt Lake game and Ching is out with a hamstring tear. How bad the tear is remains to be seen.

Dammit! This better not mean Conor Casey is going to SA.

By far the best version!!!
