Sooooo,
what are your ideas for a musical theme to be used throughout the 2012 Olympics?

I like the idea of Led Zep's Whole Lotta Love as mentioned by someone on The Today Program this morning



or maybe the intro to Iron Maiden's Phantom Of The Opera (as per the old Daley Thomson Lucosade advert)

Nice and cheesy, but I was thinking more stuff by British musicians/composers

[nik at work]

A bit obvious but...



(and obviously falls down on the British thing...)

[nik at work]

Anything by Athlete?

[GCW]

[SA Chris]

Shooting Star by Air Traffic.

Can't access youtube at work but sure it's there. Ticks all the necessary boxes.

This is a bit Cocktalk for you isn't it Lagers? 

How about........



Fitting for......opening ceremony, amount of money spent, drugs taken by weightlifters etc etc

Yep, I thought I'd try walking a mile in a cocktalker's shoes so that I can feel justified in my criticism of their behaviour 

Also, whatever answers get thrown up by this lot will still be better than whatever we end up with.

They'd never allow it! Those things can create free electricity you know! The energy companies have suppressed the technology for years and..........

Adidas by Run DMC ....

[Sloper]

Hard to say really,

easy popularist, theme to Elgar's Enigma Variations, guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye.
Slightly more challenging, The Jam, Going Underground.
My choice? John Cage 4 minutes 19 seconds because I won't be watching a fucking second of it.

No contest hommes,

"If there's hope and love across the nation

everybody find a recreation"



If you're struggling to keep up the moves are available here...

[robertostallioni]

Here's one straight outta leftfield.

Yo! 7,6,5,4,3,2,1
I'm on the microphone, got you hot like the sun
So A 1,2,3 now I'm waiting on the 4
Kick down the door and turn it up a little more
If you got the feelin', jump to the ceiling
Ah we're getting down tonight
1 if you wanna, 2 if you're gonna, 3 cos everything's alright

[SpanishJuan]

Howz' about those bad boys
