All-male a cappella vocal band Out of the Blue, made up of students from the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University, made a cover of Shakira's Hips Don't Lie, Whenever Wherever and Waka Waka to raise funds for Helen & Douglas House, the world’s first children’s hospice, set up in 1982 in Oxford. Their target was £1,000, but they did not expected to be noticed by Shakira herself.
