Default The olympic theme song has scarred my brain!

Nuff said! It's short, repeats itself all the time.. simply aweful

It's not better or worse than CBC's old Olympic theme...
These themes always repeat themselves.

I hate the "I Believe" song with its grammatically incorrect line "I believe in the power of you and I".

If you listen to this one enough it might get that one out of your head.

The only time the theme song gets on my nerves is when CTV does their "Canadian performer" feature. They play the chorous of that damn song in the background while introducing the bit, play it again in the montage leading into the bit, spend 10 seconds replaying the actual sporting event, do the montage again, then play the f'ing thing a fourth time leading out of it.

I don't mind the instrmental part, but once the singing kicks in I reach for
the mute button. A little too cheesy and catchy for my liking.

I thought they'd use TSN's international hockey music at least for those games since it's CTV running the show... but no.

For the hockey games the CTV should have used Delores Claman's hockey song that TSN and RDS use.

The Olympic theme used on CTV is terrible. The one the CBC used is better.

Why the heck was David Foster, Vancouver's own boy (okay well he's from Victoria)) snubbed for this Olympics?

The music they have this year is all crap!!! I hate those three notes that keep playing over and over again.

That said, "Can't You Feel It"'s lyrics should never be heard again, it's like the Star Trek song.
