[Cerebral Assassin]

UGH Jessie J :-(


Chemicle Brothers please

Lol no, they covered that shitty strand of 90's music with Fatboy.

 

[kharma45]

This would've been a lot better if they just played the best of FIFA. Song 2, Tubthumping, Welcome to Jamrock, Town Called Malice.

 

[Tea and Toast]

I need to get a light bulb hat.

 

[Lucius86]

Gaf hates popular music that the majority of people like confirmed.

 

[SaintZ]

Taio Cruz? Ugh.

 

[Soyongdori]

Oh look, a rap during the Olympics closing.

Beijing Olympics closing was 100x much better than this garbage.

 

[Subliminal]

Ironically, It is all about the money. That's why the civil rights of everyone in the country has been systematically dismantled to suit the needs of the IOCs sponsors.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Finally, some fun

 

[Wix]

Is Fatboy Slim really enjoying this?

 

[Adamm]

Muse are performing their official Olympic song, I don't know why anyone would want that either.

They're awesome live, hopefully they'll mix it up a bit

 

[Nista]

The car is the star here ...

They really should have had the guys from Top Gear driving the cars and doing stunts during this.

 

[Sealda]

White Phantoms driving around, classy...NOT

 

[Timbuktu]

I'm sure BBC could make a massive montage with better music selection than this.

 

[redhot_]

Most over played song of LAST YEAR

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Get The Prodigy on, just to get the crowd going

 

[Nevasleep]

I came to dance dance dance dance!

 

[Setsuna]

So, how is rio going to introduce themselves?

london came in with a bus in 08.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Wonder if hes been to scunthorpe yet!

I can confirm not. :lol

 

[f0rk]

I didn't know this guy was British.

 

[Dark Schala]

Now this song, I know.

Though it's probably cuz it's played often.

 

[kitch9]

At the end of the day, when you hear the beginning of a Pink Floyd song, you can't help but be disappointed to look up and see Ed Sheeran.

There will be people who like old Ed though.. I'm not one of them.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

after this track it's pretty much all older british bands, so don't turn off yet guys.

 

[Falifax]

Are they riding in those Royce's on purpose?

 

[kharma45]

At least it's some good music up after this guff, albeit it's recorded raising the dead ain't easy I guess.

 

[Majine]

Muse are performing their official Olympic song, I don't know why anyone would want that either.

Muse take what they get.

 

[MRORANGE]

We just need to have Radiohead at the end to sing "Fake Plastic Trees" just to put things in perspective.

 

[Hoo-doo]

These athletes need to party harder.

 

[Ashsturm]

While I appreciated the Opening Ceremony's effort effort to do something more personal than the themes of Beijing, world unity etc I can't stand this closing ceremony's constant peddling of British "culture" which in this context seems to have been defined by the playlist of a middle aged director who seems to be completely unaware what the Olympics is about. Sure we can be proud of our music but does it really need to dominate so much? Do we really need to celebrate a parade of drug addled fashion models?

 

[D4Danger]

Gaf hates popular music that the majority of people like confirmed.

this country has so much more to offer

 

[Zaph]

Come on guys, pull that stick out a little bit.

It's supposed to be a party and the athletes seem to be loving it.

 

[Willkiller]

Well, aren't you just a bundle of fun!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Please buy my new album.

 

[Mr. F]

Huge close up on boobs, awkward

 

[Shantom]

lol, bored cameraman is just zooming in on boobs now.

 

[twobear]

Are they riding in those Royce's on purpose?

Famous British marque?

 

[HoodWinked]

that octopus is pretty cool.

Are they riding in those Royce's on purpose?

obviously

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Gaf hates popular music that the majority of people like confirmed.

It's not even that, they expect to like every song in a medley that is covering 40 odd years, its fucking insane.

 

[RedBullEnergy]

IMO they should stick to iconic songs now current day pop. Fatboy Slim could've lead into Chemical Bros, Oasis to Blur etc etc.

JessieJ riding around in a Bentley singing that it aint about the money is a joke.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Is Fatboy Slim really enjoying this?

He's just happy to be out of the house away from Zoe Ball.

 

[Sickboy007]

Muse are performing their official Olympic song, I don't know why anyone would want that either.

Oh God why?! :O

 

[Firemind]

after this track it's pretty much all older british bands, so don't turn off yet guys.

how old are we talking about here

 

[Kurtofan]

Is that Sepp Blatter dancing?

 

[jamieson87]

Get The Prodigy on, just to get the crowd going

Vodoo people please

 

[Bumhead]

So we've kettled some athletes and are subjecting them to the works Christmas party?

Is this the legacy?

 

[Ark]

BOOB SHOT

 

[Falifax]

And now they're going to torture Bee Gees? smh

 

[Dr.Acula]

Bullshit of the highest order.

I still listen to Jilted Generation and Exit Planet Dust regularly. Fatboy Slim albums? No way!

 

[Miles X]

Coming from a British person, I agree, would be much more interesting to have acts from all over the world I reckon!

 

[victreeb3l]

is this guy the british B.O.B.?

i only know him as the guy that ruined "miami 2 ibiza"

 

[fierrotlepou]

Dat ass.
