"Celebrate the Day" is a single by Herbert Grönemeyer featuring duo Amadou et Mariam that was served as the official anthem of the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany.[1] Next to English version, Grönemeyer also recorded a German-language version called "Zeit, dass sich was dreht" (in Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Italy (Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol); English translation: Time that something spins) with a slightly different text and meaning. The song appears on the CD Zeit, dass sich was dreht.
