Some people say that there are only two languages on earth that are common, one is football and the other is music. Let’s review the theme songs of passion or leisurely in the World Cup together, and once again experience the beauty of football encounter music.
1, 1986 Mexico World Cup
"A Special Kind of Hero" (a different hero) singer: Stephanie Lawrence (Stephanie Lawrence)
Strictly speaking, there is no official evidence whether this song is a theme song or even whether there is a theme song in this cup competition. This song "A Special Kind of Hero" appeared at the end of the official film "Hero" of that World Cup. The background of the song is the slow motion of the Argentinian Maradona 4 stadium. This cup belongs to the Pampas Eagle, who belongs to God's darling Maradona. "The Hand of God" is still mixed, and "five people in a row" has become a classic that has been passed down. "My friend, to be a special kind of hero." became a true portrayal of Maradona, so slowly this "different hero" was used as the theme song to celebrate Maradona and was also recognized as the theme song of the World Cup.
2, 1990 Italy World Cup
"UN'ESTATE ITALIANA" ( Italian Summer ) singer: Giorgio Moroder Gianna Nannini (Gianna Nannini) Note: English version: To Be Number One
On June 8, 1990, in Milan, Italy, a song "Summer of Italy" was unveiled at the opening ceremony, allowing fans around the world to feel the perfect fusion of music and football for the first time. It was from that World Cup that officially came up with the theme song, the Italian version is elegant and tough, the English version is passionate, perfect and classic, "To be number one, Running like the wind", my favorite World Cup theme song .
3, 1994 World Cup
"Gloryland" (Gloryland) Singer: Daryl Hall (Dalil-Hao)
Speaking of the theme song of the World Cup, although there are not many, this "Gloryland" will probably be ignored. Although it has a seemingly domineering name, the style of the music is free from folk songs and pop rock music, which is too exquisite and lacks courage. The background music king "We Are the Champions" included in the 1994 World Cup collection has become a classic sung to this day.
4, 1998 France World Cup
"La Cour des Grands" (Do you mind playing football) singer: Youssou N'Dour (Yuso-Endor) Axelle Red (Axela-Red)
"La Copa De La Vida/ The Cup of Life" ( Cup of Life ) singer: Ricky Martin (Ricky -Martin)
The theme song is no longer limited to one song since this World Cup, and the official album record has begun to be recorded. "Do you mind playing football?" and "The Cup of Life" are the official theme songs. Let’s talk about “La Cour des Grands” first. This song without any obvious French style is one of the theme songs. The only evaluation is five words: What’s the matter! Another song "The Cup of Life" is passionately interpreted by the world-class Latin music king Ricky Martin and has become a classic. This song that combines English and Spanish is quite sensational. "Go, go, goal!! Ale, ale, ale" did you come out just by opening your mouth?
5, 2002 Japan-Korea World Cup
Boom (storm) Singer: Anastacia (Anastasia)
Anthem (football hymn) Singer: Vangelis(Van Gillis )
Let's get together Now ( Let's Come Together ) singers: Chemistry Super Man (Japan), Sowelu (Japan), Brown-eyed Man (Korea), Park Jung-hyun (Korea)
The World Cup has come to Asia, the World Cup is jointly organized by two countries, the Chinese team realizes its dream of breaking out of Asia, the World Cup has three theme songs in one session, and the World Cup has been successfully challenged by the first time "Simida" for the first time successfully challenged humans' understanding of face.This is the only World Cup that has not left me with musical memories since 1990.
6, 2006 Germany World Cup
"The time of our lives" (Summit of Life) singer: Il Divo (Gentleman of Belgium) Toni Braxton (Donnie Blaiseton )
Although "Summit of Life" is the official theme song, when Latin queen Shakira danced her slim waist to the world at the closing ceremony, people only remembered "Baby, like this is perfection", and the lyricism of "Summit of Life" can only be regarded as the background music of various sports videos.
7, 2010 South Africa World Cup
"Waka Waka" (African Moment) Singer: Shakira (Shakira)
Shakira took the World Cup in a row, and the cheerful "Waka Waka" made the beautiful "TIKI-TAKA". This dynamic song made the dance moves of two palms together all the rage.
8, 2014 Brazil World Cup
"Todo Mundo" (Worldwide) Singer: Gaby Amarantos Monobloco (Samba Orchestra)
"We Are One/ Ole Ola" ( World Family ) singers: Pitbull (Pippaul), Jennifer Lopez (Jennifer Lopez), Claudia Leitte (Claudia Letty)
The cheerful Portuguese song "Todo Mundo" The strong samba style, football and samba, nowhere to reflect the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness of Brazilians. And the "Olê olê olê olá Olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê olê ol� "It is memorable. But the most unforgettable thing is that Shakira has appeared on stage three times at the closing ceremony. She sang a song "LALALA".
9, 2018 Russia World Cup
"Команда" (Russia, advance) singer: Polinna Gagarina Igor Krid
Although the competition has not started, the MV has been released at present. Looking at the title of the song, it is a feeling: the fighting nation is indeed well-known, the passionate tune and the beautiful beauty of the female singer, and the alternative coordination. I look forward to the song being stunningly displayed at the opening ceremony.
