World Cup 98 Theme Song

[AnaMorph0s|s]

I remember a really cool theme song from the World Cup in France 98. They did not sing in English, or in any other language I understand, I'm pretty sure it wasn't french. Eurosport used to play it before every match and during breaks and such, it was really cool.

Does anybody remember its name?

Would it be "Dario G - Carnaval de Paris" ?

 

[INFESTA]

Or "Copa de la vida", by Ricky "Shake you bom-bom" Martin?

yeah it would rather be that, because after a few thoughts, i realized there's no lyrics in carnaval de paris

btw that song was great (only the spanish version), not like that stoopid anastacia song

 

[AnaMorph0s|s]

Nope, none of those.
It wasn't a techno song, it was more like reggea. A woman and a man were singing. It's been four years though, I can only remember a little of the song. Singing on a message-board is no good though.

And no, it's not that Cumbawamba song.

I am thinking that you are on about the tune "Absurd" by Fluke.

YEAH! I found it, man, this song brings back memories.
It was french afterall, and not at all reggeaish.

Sorry I made a gaffe...

I thought he meant the song from the WC98 game, not the tourney itself... yeah the tourney itself was Youssou Ndour, and BTW it was sung in English (surprisingly)...

Apologies..

Don't forget about Ricky Martin's World Cup 98 song which was actually the "official theme" (or wasn't it?).

"Copa de Vida" - it definitely had some themes from "Shake your bon-bon" lol

Speaking of which, what are some of the WC2002 songs (other than that queer Anastacia crap? so far, I've heard "We're on the Ball" which is a really cool song, but a little too team specific for me.
