Olympic Song


Recommended Posts

By now you must have heard the new official song for the Olympics. It's by MUSE and it's awful. At first we thought it was a joke but sadly no. They actually mean it. What on Earth were they thinking? We presume they were aiming for Richard Wagner but it sounds more like Wagner from the X-Factor. And don't get us started on the lyrics. Apparently 'It's a race'. But more than that, it's a race that 'I'm gonna win' (though the chance of MUSE singer Matt Bellamy outrunning an Ethiopian seems slight). They must have stayed up all night honing this UBER-DRIVEL. Either that or they popped down the local primary school and asked the slowest kid in the bottom set to scribble down a few words about running really fast. It's bad enough Danny Boyle is transforming the stadium into a colossal farm for the opening ceremony. Now we're going to have this pompous blast of overblown guff forced into our ears at every waking moment over absurd montages of people running, jumping and throwing stuff. Ghastly.
