2008 Olympic Theme Tune - Giorgio Moroder

I just found out that Giorgio Moroder has written the an entry for the official theme tune to this years Beijing Olympic games. His song "Forever Friends" (with lyrics by Michael Kunze) was chosen from at a gala of others last year. The official song will be chosen later this year.

Whatever about the music, he's looking pretty amazing for a 67 year old. The eyes still look fresh, most probably because of the sunglasses he wore constantly throughout the 70's and 80's.



As for the song itself, well its a long way from Donna Summer or Flashdance but it's easy enough on the ears. This is not the first Olympic theme he's penned. He's done two others but people generally rave about his tune for Seoul '88.



I'm heading off in a tanget now but do you know that Chicory Tip song "Son of my father"? Well aparently Moroder wrote that one too! I'm beginning to think this man has written everything!

You can download the original Moroder version here.
