Today is a beautiful day in Seattle, and I’ll be spending some of it enjoying my Dutch bike on a day off. Hooray!
This morning, I was thinking about how much fun it was to be in Holland during the World Cup, and I was feeling a little sentimental about it. So with that in mind, I pulled up these videos to the theme songs for the 2010 World Cup.
These two songs below were in constant rotation during my trip. When I say that these were everywhere, I mean it: On every commercial break, playing from every corner shop, on the sound system of ever eetcafe, booming from every car that went past. Normally, this kind of thing drives me nuts. I can’t justify or excuse it–these songs just reminds me of this recent trip and how interesting it was to be there during the World Cup. If you’re having one of those Wednesdays, I suggest you watch to see if one of these videos doesn’t lift your mood.
This is a fun video of the most omnipresent song during this time, reworked with vintage footage by an African TV station.
Along with the incredible goals, I also just enjoy scenes of fans losing their minds. Fun.
Even though I’m definitely not a Shakira fan, I find it hard to be in a bad mood when I hear this song.
