munichfan Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Oooooo i was trying to find that video for almost 4 years In fact, it was pure luck. I was watching a Paris 2012 bid video and it was the first among those video proposals on the right side.

CobiWenlock Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Lonodon Synphony Orchestra told to mime at Olympics. (And it's not the first time that's happened.) After what happend with the Diamond Jubilee coverage (lots of cutting off at important points)... I'd want to mime too. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-04/london-symphony-orchestra-to-mime-at-olympics/4051434
FDLondon Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 Not surprised either - the live acoustics in the stadium for the test event with the Military Wives choir proved to me, at least, that pre-recording was the way to go!
TorchbearerAA Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 I hope they will produce a CD with the music from the opening and later the closing ceremony, just like in Vancouver.

SkiFreak Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 Coca Cola has put out a London 2012 promo song, available thru icoke.ca if you enter a pin code from underneath a bottle cap. The song is Anywhere in the World by Mark Ronson featuring Katy B. I just entered a code and downloaded it. Pretty good song. Catchy. Even has the little Coke tune in there from the Coke song for 2010 "Open Happiness" Has anyone had a chance to listen to the two official albums? Are they any good? I'm still hoping they release more. Something with current music.

afiqnadzir Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 ..what do u think? a rock song? or inspirational ballad?
Olympian2004 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Here's a (alleged) snippet of the song: And a longer extract: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9k0iaK8bSE&feature=youtu.be If that's really the song, it's surprisingly dark for an Olympic theme song. And not very catchy. And another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moChrfLu_ag
kevzz Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Guys, the official London 2012 song Survival by Muse will get its premiere on Radio 1 7.30pm tonight!
munichfan Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Wow, that was really... different. Olympics is the last thing I'd associate with that.
kevzz Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 WOW I love it!! What an inspired choice to have Muse do the official song. It's completely different from others and it's so edgy and sounds dangerous and mind blowing and totally British! Hints of Queens! I'm so glad they didn't go for the usual rousing, crowd pleasing song and go for this totally different sound. One of the best moves by LOCOG, such bravado!! I still can't believe Muse is doing the official song, never in a million years I thought of that! A big fan of them aside, I really think the song pumps up the excitement immediately. Whoever approach and approves Muse of doing the official song should get a gold medal immediately!!
Olympian2004 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Just listened to it on the BBC Radio 1 live stream -- and it's really the song from the snippets above. It sounds like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody thrown into the 21st century. And it's pretty dark and heavy. It's still a very unusual choice for an Olympic theme song. It shows, however, that London is doing a lot of things differently.
kevzz Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 I feel this song will resonate amongst the athletes than the public more. It's like a fighting song! I like it starts with a slow, melodic prelude. That's a nod to Bohemian Rhapsody too
afiqnadzir Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 im not the fans of this kind of music..heavy and metal rock.
Mr Tickle Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 I heard it with the prelude, after, its one hell of a song, towards the end its quite heavy and reminded me of glam rock a bit. Very different choice and works well with the more edgy, shard like branding. Its certainly not like Celine Dion. In the interview he said after being asked to play the closing ceremony they played it to the organisers and they said they wanted it as the official song. Apparently he started it a year ago after a famous pianist ( who he didnt say) asked him to do something for the Olympics but it kind of fizzled out. Only to be reborn.

I'm surprised Adele is not one of them
