World Cup Song 2014: Shakira's 'La La La' Music Video Features Messi, Neymar & Gerard Pique [Watch]
It's just not the World Cup without Shakira.
The singer of the official 2010 World Cup Song is back with "La La La." The song has been reworked to fit the World Cup. Some people have complained that this year's official song "We Are One (Ole Ola)" by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte does not reference soccer and is generic.
Shakira has decided to change that by mentioning soccer, sort of explaining what the World Cup is about and bringing in top soccer players to help her deliver her message.
The video starts off with the Colombian singer wearing black and dancing. And soon the cameos roll in. It represents countries in other ways, as well. People are dressed in the colors of their country or even have eyeshadow that resembles the flag. The Brazilian flag can be seen pretty early on.
There is also some amazing acrobatics and soccer going on behind her in some scenes. One includes children playing in mud, and another features two men on their hands passing the ball between each other with their feet.
And perhaps in the biggest proof that Gerard Pique is crazy for Shakira, he dances a little in the video. There's a lot going on, possibly to symbolize how many different cultures and countries are coming together. There's a tiger, an elephant and a lot of different people, but her son, Milan, still manages to steal the show. He adorably toddles around chasing after a ball.
Lionel Messi is in the video but for a very brief moment where he smiles at the camera.
Neymar, Cesc Fabregas are also part of the video. It's all around an upbeat and fun video that will get you in the mood for the World Cup. The song is included in Shakira's new album and on "One Love, One rhythm: The Official 2014 Fifa World Cup Album."
