What is the 'Wavin' Flag' Celebration Re-mix?

Answer 1

"Wavin' Flag" (Celebration Re-mix) is the adaption to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The original song, performed by K'naan, was selected as the Coca-Cola anthem for the World Cup. However, the Coca-Cola company noted the song's negative lyrics, referring to "wars...poor people zone...struggling to fight...for food..." and decided that they did not fit with the spirit of the World Cup. They decided to change some of the lyrics to go with the World Cup.

K'naan is stated as saying that the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games are the only times where his original song's lyrics do not apply. The World Cup is a time where countries forget their prior conflicts and come together, to compete for the cup.

In retrospect to this, Mexico was having another Civil War (which was also dubbed as a Drug War). When the FIFA World Cup was around the corner, both sides agreed to a truce, and came together to compete in the World Cup. It is believed that the Mexican National Football Team (which competed in the cup) contains players on both sides of the conflict.
