  1. @naijaqueen2010 I totally agree. And it’s not stealing, it’s covering. At least she choose an African song!!! I think she executed it in a good way.

  2. @abksharma right! Tu as raison papa! It is my childhood and I repproche to Shakira to have persuaded that this song was of her

  6. @juniorbnthg you may feel that this nice 80’s song is a piece of shit but there r many others that would differ. I would say Shakira westernized the song a bit and made it more for your type of audience which is why u like it better. There are still many people who dance to the full 11 min full version. Especially cameroonians and people in close by countries. There are people who would say Shakira’s version is shit. Depends on where your from I guess as for me I am cool with both. None r shit

  7. @putacia I mean Shakiras purpose for the song was different than the original artist purpose of the song. It is repetitive because it was like a parade marching song for the Cameroon military hence the soldiers marching in the video. Shakira was trying to adapt it for a different audience so that is a factor. I like the song and I know there are still people in african countries cameroonians abroad that dance to the song for a full 11 min so I am sure not everyone thinks it is boring.

  8. this iz a straight up piece of shit song ! thank god Shakira made it better,way better !

  9. Its kinda boaring cuz it just repeats it over and over, I enjoy shakiras version better, cuz it makes you want to dance, and the lyrics are nice, plus I like the way she sings it and dances(:

  10. dunno what the hell they saying in this song but this shit is hot!!! nice song man

  11. were all african im haitian and i love african people i love thi song so much

  12. I learned this song back in the early 90’s when we had a summer camp counselor come over from South Africa as part of an exchange program. Loved it then and sang it all the time. I had forgotten about it until I saw Shakira’s video on a Sony display in the store. I definitely prefer the original but Shakira’s isn’t bad, just different like it’s supposed to be. I definitely thank her for bringing back the memory and setting me on my search for the original.

  13. no 1 would no it unless shakira sang it shakira brouhgt me here u should thankfor making it more pôpular instead of hating

  14. @TheOnlyRoyal well if it weren’t for him, you would even get the shakira version. respect
