8 second go kart that makes altered gassers seem tame and easy to control.
i dunno, seems like doing wheelies in a go kart might be a little too much.

The one which followed it with the forcefield was even funnier.

The evolution of a song. Waka Waka by Shakira was the official song of the World Cup in Johannesburg last year. It was a monster hit & viral on YouTube with over 300M views.

The Waka Waka part was based on a song by a Cameroon band called Golden Sounds. They dressed in spoof military costumes & the song was a regional hit after 1986.

It moved across the ocean to Columbia & was a smash there as well.

That is where Shakira & her producer were familiar with it. She recorded it & the producer felt it needed more African content for the World Cup. He enlisted Fab Dupont in NYC (a buddy) who just happened to be tracking new songs for a South African band called Freshlyground. He got the rough tracks & added some solo & background vocals. Their contribution is on the official Fifa video. I have a copy of his original mix btw which has more SA influence than the final release.

There is also a Spanish version . . .

Shakira's release of the Waka Waka song on her CD omits Freshlyground. The African version remains a very popular march song for bands, schools & the military in Central Africa. Ain't YouTube great?

Nice find, John. Very reminiscent of UB40 . . . in a good way.

Here is a major new(er) talent hitting hard with a new release. You will be hearing a lot from this lady. Adele. She ain't your usual piece of marketed fluff. Man, she can sing.

I always thought that was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly . . . oh yeah, that was the worst recording of a song ever.

I believe it is time for some silliness. How about the Lumberjack Song in German?
