This is the moment when a massive party broke out in Glasgow as locals began to boogie while buskers belted out a classic Shakira anthem.
The clip shows residents in the city dancing together to Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), the track that was released for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In carnival like scenes, those on Buchanan Street could be seen dancing arm-in-arm and singing along at the top of their voices.
For some, unknown, reason one woman in the clip could even be seen to be dressed as the Pope. Those who were involved were seen to be in hysterics as more and more joined in, while others gathered to film the incredible scenes.
Despite not being a conventional Christmas song, it was still a festive scene, with decorations and fairy lights seen scattered around nearby. The video – which was taken earlier this week – was shared on TikTok and has since gone viral, with social media users left in stitches.
Moira Anderson said: “This is Glasgow at its best.” Barbara Gardener said: “The Scots know how to enjoy the moment.”
Jacqui Finlayson, joked: “Nice to see the pope joining in.” Pearl Shields said: “Glasgow people are the most friendliest people in the world they always make everyone welcome into their beautiful city.”
Karen Woodhead laughed: “Just a typical day shopping in Glasgow!” And Mark Mcgill added: “Glasgow is just fun always something going on. Never had a bad day or night ever!”
