"Beijing Welcomes You"

This awesome song is the theme song of the Beijing Olympics. All the most famous Chinese stars sing it (look out for Jackie Chan!). It's about how China's doors are open to foreigners from around the world and all the rich experiences and impressive preparations that await them. I've been watching it a lot over the past few weeks and it gets me pumped every time I hear it. Great song.



My favorite line is Tian da di da dou shi pengyou qing bu yong keqi ("Whether from heaven or from earth, you are our friend so feel at home"). A translation of the lyrics is at http://music.yeucahat.com/
