Ahead of the Olympic Games in London, there was a survey of top sports songs, with Van Halen's "Jump" chosen as the winner. This is interesting, because there was an informal poll in my household of Van Halen's worst songs ever, and "Jump" also won that poll. My guess is that the members of the Panamanian olympic team probably would have selected a different Van Halen tune for their representation, too.
Check out this link for poll results. Somehow, I find it hard to believe the "We Are the Champions" came in 9th. Probably because they left off the "We Will Rock You" prelude...
