@chimjim89 It says Johan Vermaak at the end of the video. :) I love this video because it's such a cute visual to the music and lyrics. I absolutely love this song because it's such a positive and beautiful way to help people feel good about themselves. I also liked that the couple was interracial. I feel like everything that made this song/video amazing and unique is it's ability to show how fantastic life could be for everyone if we could just learn to love without bias.
Ugh I find the guy sooo cute, I tried to look for his name but eh, I did not have much luck. I love their acting in this video it's so freaking cute. On the color wheel red and green are complimentary colors. I love Red and Green together, just like black and white lol ^.^
It's not derogatory towards anybody. Don't take the misconception that just because the singer is black it is referring to black females only. Look at the bigger picture; "Love is love. Irregardless of anything."
Serioulsy this is such a great video.. I have always been against racism... We people are more beautiful when we are together and loving eachother!! Respecting each and everyone, no matter what religion, colour, nationality, race or sexuality!! We are Golden!!
i absolutely love this band its just like upbeat and cute, like no one writes songs bout pot bellies but they make just a gooood song about a subject you wouldnt expect i love them
Awwww, the art and expression of this video perfectly describes the lyrics of this song. Something's stick out but that doesn't change a thing and sometimes they just don't ever have to :)
Awesome music, I love the message portrayed in each individual song, it's so bright and happy. She just makes me smile =] It's things like this that make me proud to be African, specifically a South African despite all the corruption and hostility, when I see hope, great music, culture, individuality, love and acceptance all rolled together in something as simple as a song.
@inticamxx I very much agree except that I would say that it's one of the very finest video concepts & productions ever made in the world. The song & the video have mutiple layers of positive messages.
Btw, I posted this on my facebook page & it was very well received. I also added this video to my online collection of YouTube music/dance video gems. Google Jambalayah. That video is listed under South African music. I'm not sure how I happened upon this song/video but I'm very glad I did.
@thatswassup901 I didn't need to listen to Waka Waka for them. Considering they are such amazing artists, Waka Waka did not portray their amazing talent enough. I find it quite annoying that they used a foreign artist in fact to sing the World Cup song.

@mishwsl you don't need to listen to waka waka for, but lots f people found them because of waka waka. i don't think that song portrays their talent fully but it brought me here and now i am a fan. their music is just so beautiful.
This song/video always makes me smile. It has such an amazing message and is done so beautifully. She also has the cutest smile and reminds me of what it's like when first falling in love.
haha!..i was just thinking there's no way u can drop that prezzie off n make it back in tym without being busted...loool!..n the houses seem huge from inside n outside its just like a hut?..
cracked me up!...i watched it like 20 times! love it!!
I'm a little slow and didn't realize that there was a band that collaborated with Shakira on Waka Waka, until this morning. I typed in their name and came across this song. I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it today. I love the song and the message behind the video. We're so stuck on color and fail to see what's really important.
Racial themes abound here; the invocation of competing green and red, reluctance to embrace a new color, followed ultimately by acceptance and love a direct correlation to post-apartheid South Africa.
@succexy i dun think dats da point. if u liked someone u wudnt give him/her da present just like dat rite? ud wanna mae it look nice and also put it in a box to make it look like a surprise.
