Tribute to The Olympics

All roads lead to Beijing! Today, the 2008 Olympics opened in this premier Chinese capital with glorious pomp and pageantry. And as our way of celebrating this momentous event, we at 89.5 Bay FM decided to post something special - a tribute to The Games.

Why did we do this? Well, apart from the fact that the entire universe is now talking about this year's Olympics (and admittedly, wanting to join the blogging bandwagon haha!!), we are also anticipating that everybody in Asia will now be singing its theme song "Beijing Huan Ying Ni" (Beijing Welcomes You). Though we still don't have a copy of the song, we expect a majority of Asian radio stations playing it in heavy rotation (and pretty soon in videoke bars).

Anyway, back to our Olympics tribute...

We have uploaded the theme songs of The Games from 1984 to 2004 with a playlist guide and now we are sharing it with you.

Listen and be inspired. Enjoy!
