La Tigresa del Oriente's viral song for Erling Haaland

Peruvian artist La Tigresa del Oriente has released a viral song dedicated to Norwegian football star Erling Haaland, capturing the attention of fans worldwide. The song, an ode to the 25-year-old striker, has taken social media by storm.

Set to the melody of the classic hit "Moskau" by German band Dschinghis Khan, the lyrics were rewritten by La Tigresa del Oriente to celebrate Haaland's prowess on the field and his charismatic personality. The artist shared the video on her Instagram account, where it quickly gained momentum and was picked up by various international media outlets.

Haaland has become a notable figure in the 2026 World Cup, not only for his performance but also for his engaging demeanor. La Tigresa del Oriente expressed her admiration, dedicating the song to her "platonic love, Haaland!"

Social media users have responded with widespread enthusiasm. Comments ranged from expressions of awe at the artist's marketing prowess to playful declarations of Haaland being "lost" to the "Tigress." One user even humorously stated the song "gave me life" while hospitalized.

The song's lyrics describe Haaland as "not human," "from another planet," and a "viking without equal." It also playfully references his goal celebrations as robotic and compares his movements to the anime character Majin Buu, before noting his incredible speed. La Tigresa del Oriente concludes the song with a signature "Viking claws" greeting.
