Well, Golden Hour Game time again! Nic won yet again, so she chooses the topic. She chose "Songs that mention sporting activities" due to the Olympics!

Get nominating!

Well boxing is certainly more a sport than snooker is.

I can't remember a sporting activity actually being mentioned in the song lyrics. I think the word "fight" is too ambiguous.

I'm having Going For Gold by Shed Seven.

I think Eye Of The Tiger would be okay cos it's about boxing even if they don't specifically mention that word. But I guess it's Bob's call.

Right back to the drawing board. This one should be fairly popular and a bit more apt since we're in the football this year (and I know it's GB not England before some smart Alec says anything...)

Fat Les - Vindaloo

The Ataris - San Dimas High School Football Rules

Send me the answer to question 1!

P. S. Don't argue with Topher or Zoot

With charlalottie's choice, I'm almost not that bothered to pick! Definitely getting my vote when it comes time. However, I've gone for this...

Queen - Bicycle Race

I knew if I thought about it long enough I would find something great - Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run. Brilliant.

Ah now come on - I like that song, but sitting is something you do as part of an Olympic activity, it's not actually an Olympic activity... otherwise songs that mention waiting around would be OK too.
