What is the official World Cup 2010 song?

I read on the BBC that Shakira and South African band Freshlyground song Time for Africa was chosen

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8625370.s...

But I was under the impression that Wavin' Flag (Celebration Mix) by K'Naan and David Bisbal was the official song :/

Is there a difference between being the World Cup anthem and the World Cup official song then?

    The K'Naan and David Bisbal one is Coca Cola's World Cup song and Shakira's song is the official World Cup song.

    Notice that the K'naan one has the melody from the Coca Cola adverts. :)

    Dizzee Rascal and James Corden are releasing a cover of Tears for Fears "Shout" as Englands world cup song. June 13th is apparently when they are releasing it.
