Wavin’ Flag
May 15, 2010
Lovin’ the fact that K’Naan wrote the anthem for the World Cup 2010. I suppose you have heard the hella catchy tune, “Wavin’ Flag”, already from his latest effort, Troubadour, or the rewritten version that has recently come out. If not, you can check it here.
I was walking down the street recently here in Thailand and was totally confused when I heard the vibes comin’ out of a stereo except the song was more of a Thai rock version with Thai vocals and K’Naan singing also. After some research, I found out that the song has been remixed with popular artists in various countries throughout the world using a mix of the original and the native language of each artist. Clever idea indeed. Here is the Thai-version of “Wavin’ Flag” titled “Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh” and performed by Tattoo Colour.

Great music choices and web site and job and style. You might like “Give the drummer some” Fridays (or check the extensive archives) on WFMU.org

Cheers. Thanks for stopping by the site. I’ll definitely check the radio show out. Been a fan of WFMU for a long time, however lending my ear to some of their shows is certainly overdue. Time to remedy that. All the best and take care.
