Olympics observations: Why 'Disco Inferno?'

[shereads]

1. Torino is now on my must-do list of in-my-dreams travel destinations, if for no other reason than that chocolate drink they serve in their cafes: one-third cup of Expresso, followed by 1/3 cup of melted bittersweet chocolate <whimper> topped with 1/3 cup of heavy cream....What's Italian for "Yowsa!"

2. Why was the music theme for the march of the athletes "America's Top Forty Countdown?" I like Disco Inferno as well as the next woman 'of a certain age,' but it seemed odd
.

1. Sign me up for that trip to Torino - yum.

2. Now I can't stop singing "I Will Survive" in my head.

You know, that was Gloria Gaynor's only hit.

Is it just me or did it seem like the US teams were snuggling a lot during Peter Gabriel's performance of 'Imagine'?


I wonder about Disco Inferno too. Is this really the time when any country's suggested theme song should contain the lyrics "Burn baby burn...burn the mutha down." ?

I think the teams that walked in to "Hot Stuff" couldn't help but do a little strut...

...disco, the great equalizer - you either got it, or you do the head bob and shuffle.

But "Sweet dreams are made of this...hold your head up..." works.

"Video Killed the Radio Star", though when the Japanese walked in?

*shrugs* When everyone is requesting 'I'm Too Sexy', someone has to make the tough decisions.

I'm rooting for the YMCA team.

"I'm Too Sexy" while wearing hats with ear flaps. Yikes.
