My Last Olympic Ceremony Thought

Ok, the Games are in Italy. They speak Italian in Italy right? So what in the hell are these American pop tunes being played as the various country teams walk into the stadium tonight? My head just blew up when (and I am not making this up) the team from Mongolia walked into the stadium to the music of "Video Killed The Radio Star" (the first video ever on MTV). I'm insane now.

Edit: I have been redeemed. At 9:22 p.m., minutes after I wrote this, Bob Costas said: "Interesting that all the nations are marching in to the accompaniment of a seemingly random collection of 80s American pop tunes".
