Better be David Beckham bending a flaming ball in to a Rooney header to the torch.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Why is there pretty much nothing other than pop culture shown in this opening ceremony?

 

[Falifax]

OMG Wayne's World, they did it

 

[Brazil]

I wonder what the poeple in the stadium are thinking about this ceremony because they can't see close ups of the people like us watching on TV

Uhh... Yes they can.

 

[Hackbert]

QUEEN::: FUCK Yeahhh

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Shit shit shit, we have like, 15 minutes to fill!

Well, why don't we just fill it with 15 second clips of British bands with a bunch of people doing really terrible choreography?

Done!

 

[XcL_]

More Bowie all is forgiven.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I don't get most of these cultural references myself and I doubt I'm the only one. I can't begin to imagine what the global audience watching this are thinking.

 

[jokkir]

TARDIS!

 

[MasterShotgun]

I was expecting Queen at some point. Did not disappoint.

 

[SteveWD40]

Well, the level's sure dropped. But there's still time for an amazing finale!

Bean > Forging the Rings > Bond > the rest

Unless they bring out The Doctor.

 

[TheBioLover]

TARDIS NOISE (right?)

 

[DJMicLuv]

An army of Mercuries.
It can't hurt.

 

[Dark Schala]

[KennyLinder]

Chemical Brothers will have to feature during this segment!

(Especially as they've done an official track for the games)

 

[Quick Mustard]

TARDIS NOISE!!!!!!

 

[Jasup]

Did I hear the Tardis just now?

 

[ckohler]

There better be some Floyd in here.

 

[MrPing1000]

Yay Pistols.

 

[Hindle]

Punk!

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Was that the TARDIS I heard?

 

[anaron]

THE CLASH NEXT PLZ

 

[Kurtofan]

I missed the Tardis

 

[Brinbe]

Yeah, it's a bit uninspired, but eh. Needed a place to shove all those decades of pop culture.

 

[Nevasleep]

Punk vs Mods?

 

[Saiyar]

The stuff in the crowd is amazing.

 

[Jezbollah]

I don't get most of these cultural references myself and I doubt I'm the only one. I can't begin to imagine what the global audience watching this are thinking.

Dont try to hard to analyse. It's a celebration of British music.

And if the global audience has taste, they'll be appreciating this.

 

[DrForester]

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Danny Boyle third act in effect

 

[Gareth Bale]

Chemical Brothers will have to feature during this segment!

(Especially as they've done an official track for the games)

I thought it was just for the Velodrome, given the name...?

 

[Clegg]

This music selection is perfect.

 

[Seda]

How long until Elton John shows up

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Best country for music without a doubt

 

[JLG-]

Sex Pistols!

 

[Charmicarmicat]

Why is there pretty much nothing other than pop culture shown in this opening ceremony?

You mean aside from the massive sections on the industrial revolution and the NHS?

 

[Dark Schala]

Yay we're onto punk now.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

I really hope that TARDIS noise wasn't a one off, I want to see a fucking police box on that field.

 

[MrPing1000]

New Order time.

 

[Captain_Spanky]

I am not usually patriotic BUT FUCK YES THE UK IS AWESOME

 

[Sickboy007]
