2010 World Cup Theme Song
With a little over 93 days to go before the 2010 Soccer World Cup begins in South Africa more and more people are getting excited about the event and talking about world-cup related activities.
Our local radio station, 94.5 KFM, played a song on the radio last week that no one had heard of before as a potential 2010 World Cup theme song. Take a listen below and let me know what you think?
The imagery in the video isn’t important but listen to the tune and the lyrics.
What do you think? Did you find yourself tapping your foot, or your fingers on the table rhythmically? I sure did. As much as I hate the sound of the Vuvuzela I still like the song’s lyrics.
The song is called Stand As One and is sung by Martin PK and co-written by Martin PK and David Campos. You can find out more about them and the song on their Facebook Page.
I’ve been doing a little digging and as far as I can tell the adapted version of K’naan‘s song Wavin’ Flag will serve as the official FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup theme song. Very catchy and international sounding.

Hi there. I love the song but where does one get it? Musica nor Look and Listen have even heard of it. I even heard it today on the take 40 SA and want the song really bad. Where did you get it from?
Hey Ryan – thanks for visiting and commenting. I had to search for the video on YouTube to link to it. I first heard this song one morning on KFM, it was played on air by Darren Simpson and Ryan O’Connor on the breakfast show. I’m not sure whether or not there’s an actual CD/Single available anywhere. I’m not sure whether K’Naan’s song is available for download/purchase either.
