Song refrain is "Waka-Waka-Waka-Wak!"

[NotReallyHere]

Can anyone tell me what this song is about?  What is the joke?  The song gets played every night at an outdoor food court near me.  The song is really a crowd favorite.  The women especially like it.  They laugh and get up to dance and tend to grind their hips more than usual (which gives me a clue about the song's subject matter).

 

I seem to remember a video that showed men running through the jungle or maybe farmers' fields.  Can someone link a YouTube video of the song or better yet, a transcript of the lyrics, so I can look into it some more?  When I google Waka-Waka, I only come up with some Shakira song...

 

Thanks!

No she hasn't.

 

Hold on OP, I'll ask her.

It was the 2010 World Cup song, This Time for Africa. I guess it’s just infectious, like Pharell’s “Happy”.

The meaning is: keep the throttle up, as in riding a motorbike and play with the gas throttle.

My search showed something a little different than the OP's search.

Waka waka means Do it – as in perform a task.

 

This could be good next time my staff argue with me instead of doing ...... waka waka !

My google search also turned up a go-go bar in Pattaya called Waka-Waka.  So it's the "Do It" go-go bar, I guess.  An appropriate name, I'm sure...

I think I would prefer "Do Her" to "Do It".???? But each to their own.????

[Don Mega]

That one would be a cutie if she wasn't covered in those horrid stickers.

You "think"...

 

But your tag line states: "It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts."

 

Try "It",  you might like "It"...   A possible "portal of discovery" for you...

Did I theorize? I just stated a preference.????
