"MSP Olympic 2012 Song Games" Committee And Planning Thread

[Son of Stopped]

I'll add these choices later. (Get ready FD, look! He's going to put his foot in it!) So er... would the 800m come under Athletics? (I've got the idea, just little clues about what the games are actually doing! )

[Lone Architect]

Surely 'Horses Under Starlight' belongs with dressage?

OK, so now we need Manics songs that can be used for Volleyball, Tennis, Taekwondo, Table Tennis, Sailing, modern pentathlon, handball, those three gymnastics stuff, fencing, the two canoes, and more of the cycling events.

If we get it all in on time, FD Olympics will dwarf the 2012 Olympics! Plus, it won't be as military occupation as the real thing....

I don't know why but I think TLORN would sound good with Table Tennis footage under it.

I may have had to use some previously chosen songs again. Now we just need to box off gymnastics, all four cycling, those fucking canoe things, fencing, Judo and the Modern pentathlon and perhaps a few more choices for a few one song events and... we're in business!

One or two events have only one song representing them. And I think Gymnastics might be best served with one poll for them. (And this also works as a fantastic two fingers to my games teachers!) Same with the Equestrian (statue... Bonzo Dog, no?...)
Any more ideas? Keep them coming!
And a flag to represent them sounds good, if someone else does it first.
