It's 2010 South Africa FIFA world cup theme song sang by Shakera. Is it South African language? I use Google translate and Microsoft Engkoo but cannot find any result.
Take your pick... * Waka (canoe), canoes of the MÄori of New Zealand * Waka (poetry), a genre of Japanese poetry * Waka music, a musical genre from Yorubaland of Nigeria * Waka (protocol), a proposed replacement for HTTP * World Adult Kickball Association * WAKA, a CBS television station in Selma, Alabama * El Perú (Maya site), also known as Waka', Maya ruins in Guatemala * Huaca or wak'a, in Quechua, a class of sacred objects * Waka/Jawaka, 1972 album by Frank Zappa * Waka, Texas, a community in the Texas Panhandle * Waka Inoue Shakira is crap. Pac-Man should sing the World Cup anthem.
Now that's a lot of possibilities, Kerosene. Interesting but haven't heard the song yet. Or wasn't it because i didn't understand...?
wow...thanks for so many replies, seems there are so many definition about waka waka. I think that the definition of what mentalhead said might be true.
It's also from 'The Muppets' and 'Fozzie the Bear' Here is the definition: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wakka wakka But I think the correct spelling is Wacka Wacka - google it for more info.
in here it is a name for a bird. no idea about the international or English word for it. but I am sure Shakira sang not about that bird.
wacka wacka is also a radio phrase in UK, used to segue between segments so like, "thats the end of that bit about the weather thanks. waka waka! now its time for a flute recital from melaney, take it away maestro"
Waka, waka means " working while walking" as to why Shakira or FIFA would use it in their song I have no Idea, I propose that it was used because she had nothing else to add with the myriad of crap that she had already said in the song...... but who cares she still sounds lik a goat being strangled to death...... why was she asked to compose or sing a song for something as important as the world cup " apparently Sep Blatter wanted to see her ass shake in person" what ever was the reason it cannot justify the travesty that this assanine sounding song has placed upon the worlds greatest sporting competetion. The "beautiful game" has a very ugly sounding soundtrack"...... please do not repeat this stupidity FIFA
I like to songs of Shakira so it may be in English as well as South African.but Waka Waka is in South African.
Its the shrill and digital sound a pacman (or pacwoman) makes as s(he) eats a dot As like in the PacMan game
