Public Enemy / Paralympics

[Bold Seagull]

Has there been a better track picked for a particular sporting event? Public Enemy's 'Harder Than You Think' just seems like a genius choice for these Paralympics.

I'd probably have to go back to the 1990 world cup when the BBC had Nessum Dorma for a track that was as well placed.

Can anybody think of any others as good?

I didn't watch the ceremony last night but that's amazing.

Public Enemy are playing at Brighton Dome in October (I think that's the month). If anyone interested.

I've always been a massive public enemy fan, but in answer to your question, no there isn't a better song it's spot on. The paralympic advert for channel 4 is amazing

 

[Blackadder]

I can see this going back to the top of the charts.

Inspired song choice by C4, but jury still out on advert filled broadcast ability.

The advert...

I dance to it every time an ad-break comes on. It's f***ing rocking.
It made me want to buy a T-Shirt with the words:
Who shot? What, who, what the bazooka was who?

A different song, i know, but one of my favourite Enemy lyrics.
I love PE. Saw them 13 times as youngster.

tbh I'm a bit sick of it after hearing it too much

Call me naive, but I'm amazed that there are still tickets available for this show. They may not be in their prime, and I've no idea what Chuck D's vocals are like these days, but this is P.E. ffs!

I was very surprised to see tickets available and very happy as well as a public enemy ticket is now winging it's way to me in the post. I wanted to see them twice in the 80s and both times I had no money, so I'm sorting out a big regret. They may be a bit grey round the edges but chuck D was and still is one of the greatest rappers of all time.
YEEEEEEEEERRRRR BOOOOOOOY
