The Bounty Bar Kid Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 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.

Vik54 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I used to love Muse - infact was the first CD I ever played in the zed but sadly they are going further and further down in my estimation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJimstar Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Its like ben elton got smashed and just had to pen something for a new queen tribute and no one is like Freddy! What was wrong with Vindaloo. I feel for Danny Boyle who is directing the opening ceremony.. Good luck with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
