HOWEVER, note that most of the above mentioned theme songs performed at the Ceremonies of Olympics WERE NOT OFFICIAL THEMES OF THE OLYMPIC ORGANIZING COMMITTEE. For instance, Sydney didn't have an official theme song rather it had a vast collection of theme songs for the Opening Ceremony - the videos above. Rather, it simply made contracts with recording artists and studios to use music. And this is why VANOC's Smith-Valade said: "There can be seven, eight, or 10 different pieces of music theatre identified with the Games," she added. "What it really comes down to is what the individual likes. For one person, one song may become their official song or the one they associate with the Games, but someone else might find another one that particularly appeals to them."

Olympic songs tend to be cheesy and usually aren't the thing I'd listen on my iPod, but Sydney's songs performed at their Ceremonies were truly amazing.


David Atkins had incredible renditions of the national anthems at the Sydney and Doha openings, and I believe he will do the same for Vancouver and make all Canadians proud. Listen to Advance Australia Fair at the Sydney Opening, it'll make you want to be Australian:

What's that music they always play on the screens at all the Olympic venues before the event starts?
The one with a countdown followed by a video of BC.
Is it "With Glowing Hearts"? Is this in any of the albums?

I think is called "Fire on the mountain." Yes, this is part of the album.

"Fire on the mountain" seems to be the theme for just the ceremonies.

I meant this background music in this video here.

The video played at the venues themselves before the event starts is similar but without all the people and talking, just the music and scenes of Vancouver and BC.
