Lyrics
Waka Laka's a thing to play forever Just to be together (Just to be together) Waka Laka's a place to be forever Waka Laka love and fantasy (Waka... Waka... Waka...) See Waka Laka when you need a flight of fantasy (fantasy) Ecstasy (ecstasy) Rhapsody (rhapsody) See Waka Laka when you want a love so tenderness (tenderness) Waka Laka make you fly See Waka Laka when you're going to feel so sad and blue, Just for you, never blue See Waka Laka and a funny bunny'll free your life Now it's Waka Laka time I wanna live (I wanna live) A brand new day (A brand new day) Go far away (Go far away) To Waka Laka place A Waka time (A Waka time) To feel so fine (To feel so fine) A Waka Laka flight Waka Laka's a thing to play forever Just to be together (Just to be together) Waka Laka's so magical and tender Musical and wonder fantasy Waka Laka's a never ending story Glory, glory, glory (Glory, glory, glory) Waka Laka's a place to be forever Waka Laka love and, Waka Laka love and, Waka Laka love and fantasy

- The DDRMAX2 ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK album also credits WAKA LAKA's artist as JENNY ROM VS THE ZIPPERS.
- DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4 also credits WAKA LAKA under WAKA LAKA E=MC2 Mix and JENNY ROM VS THE ZIPPERS for the song and artist name respectively, though the banner remained unchanged.
- WAKA LAKA received a Single BEGINNER chart in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME.
- WAKA LAKA received a new background and BEGINNER charts in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4.
- WAKA LAKA's background is a snapshot of a MotionJPEG video in the MAX-EXTREME video directory, "jsdaaa", containing a bunch of bouncing red ellipsoids.
- Similarly, its banner is a washed out snapshot of another animation, "jsmata".
- WAKA LAKA's DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4 background has helixes of ellipsoids that vaguely resemble the ones in jsdaaa.
- WAKA LAKA (E=MC2 Mix) also appears in Step Revolution's dancing game StepManiaX, with its jacket mimicking its DanceDanceRevolution banner.
