Do the Waka Waka

Music and sports go hand in hand. It’s an interesting phenomenon; they always seem to amplify one another increasing the drama before a big game. Can you honestly imagine the sports world today with Queen anthems like "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions"? Just like these old school songs The Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling" has recently become a modern day sports theme.

So, what’s the newest song to join the ranks? "Waka Waka" by Shakira, the official song of the 2010 World Cup. Shakira is scheduled to kick-off the opening ceremonies tonight with an exciting performance rocking the Waka Waka—now the official World Cup dance. Check out the video to learn it yourself.

So you may be wondering, will AFF and the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games have an official music video and theme song? Not as of yet, but we’re open to suggestions…

Go Team USA!
