The better song
Maybe it's just the Canadian nationalist in me, but I think Coca Cola really did the World Cup a disservice this year by snapping up K'Naan's "Waving Flag" which would have been an awesome World Cup anthem, as their ad tune, and left them with... sigh... Shakira. Look, I'm a fan, but years from now, "Waka Waka" will be a trivia question.
PS: Viva Espana. That's all I'm saying on the subject.
