Olympian2004 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 China using "Imagine" for its opening ceremony. You can't make this stuff up. This should definitely mark the time when this song should be retired from all ceremonies for all time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 And now, Ode to Joy. They couldn't have went for the most stereotypical songs for an Olympic ceremony even if they wanted to. Don't get me wrong, I like this ceremony so far, but I hate that China went for a heavy western tone of music for their ceremony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
