New Commonwealth Games Theme Song Changes
New CWG Theme Song
The theme song of the Commonwealth Games composed by AR Rahman will be tweaked a bit to make it more peppier like famous number ‘Chake De’.
Sports Secretary Sindhu Shree Khullar said: “There will be more music, particularly instrumental, in the opening theme song of the Games.”
Asked whether the tweaked version will be like Shakira’s ‘ Waka Waka’, the World Cup Football song, he said: “Waka Waka was more commercial. Ours will be like Chake De.”
Lyricist Prasoon Joshi said some instrumental music have been added to make the theme song peppier and a video is under preparation.
The video will feature sports personalities like Milkha Singh, Malleswari and other achievers in the field.
Asked whether Rahman’s song had been changed, Joshi said the music composer himself has made it tighter and “you will hear it in the new video.”
“Rahman always changes his work till the last minute. He is a good craftsman,” he said.
“The song has now been turned into a sports anthem. It has been pepped up with more beats and it will be a tighter version of the original,” he said.
He indicated that the video will be released in a week.
