Cynical claptrap, especially the English lyrics.

   Damn you Rich, that’s what I was afraid of. I suppose the African music bits are good. The Shakira bits, less so.

   P.S – Herpes is ‘catchy’. It doesn’t make it a good thing now does it?

   hmm were the writer of the song maybe walking through hallmark as the inspiration. I am looking for an eloquent descriptive term but I can’t get past complete bollocks.

    Its still kind of dicey because in as much as the song sounds cool it does not also depict the African identity which I tink is the whole essence of ‘Waka Waka’.

    It always amazes me how people will always find something wrong with, well, almost everything. And it’s not enough to not like it, you have to run to your computers and tell the internet that you don’t like it. Opinions = assholes….. Everyone has one. A good many of us don’t feel the need to show the world either one………..
