by the way, patriotism aside, which nation do you think has the best national anthem? My vote goes to Russia....think its the stone cold nuts of national anthems..

Agree with you, i'm not the biggest "Russia fan" due the history, but their anthem is something...



Yeah - its definitely inspirational and motivating....but there is something chilling and a little bit ominous about it also...ive probably watched Red Dawn a few too many times.....quality anthem though.

The Italian anthem is a jaunty little ditty , it's the type of tune that Giorgio Moroder or Stock,Aitken & Waterman could really go to town with .... I can just imagine walking past Club El ShagPalace in Magaluf at Midnight and hearing a tune booming out and recognizing it as 'The Italian National Anthem (Giorgio Moroder Club Disco Dance 2012 Remix)

and the Brits should replace our anthem with the 12" original mix of Blue Monday by New Order ...... that'd get the Olympic Stadium bouncing on it's foundations !

God Save The Queen by The Sex Pistols would do it for me .... I'd pay handsomely just to see the look on the faces of the American Tourists

Check Track 5 in this #" target="_blank">leaked playlist...

I hope the James Bond Theme and the Monty Python Theme don't go unused. And with unused I mean without Daniel Craig or (some of/one of) the Pythons showin' up in person.

There's a big fuss with the musician's union who are not happy at the Olympic organiser's attempts to hire musicians for free during the opening and closing ceremonies. They are trying to pass the games of as a charity event.

There are some epic tunes on that list ; Relax, Sweet Dreams, Blue Monday etc .... but for me, if you wanted to sum up the mood of the nation it would have to be ... 'I predict a Riot' ....tells you all you need to know about living in Britain 2012

Looking at his films Boyle has always a message... I don't think the conservatives will survive this ceremony with one or another sideswipe.

lol .... The Tories are used to sideswipes, but usually from within ! .... Margaret Thatcher had an iron grip on that party, but since her political demise, the Tories are the party of in-fighting and civil war ..... a few veiled sideswipes will be pretty much par for the course for the Tory hierarchy, you don't get to the top there without having both good connections and a very thick skin.
