Huge hat tip to the Daily Show for its coverage of the 2006 Olympic Opening Ceremonies (clip). One of the oddities that Jon Stewart mentioned was the questionable selection of music (here’s the most complete list I could find). Notably among Central Asia, Mongolia got “Video Killed the Radio Star” and Uzbekistan paraded in to “Disco Inferno,” (by the Trammps, not 50 Cent) a faux pas eclipsed only by the use of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstand” to introduce Denmark. Not mentioned on the show, Azerbaijan got “I Will Survive” and Tajikistan Van Halen’s “Jump.”
