We are exactly one year away from the start of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and NBC is starting to promote the global sports event that will air on their networks.
What better way to do it than with Dolly Parton? The singer is releasing a Rock album on November 18th, and one of the tracks is a mashup of Queen’s We Are the Champions/We Will Rock You. Two songs that are perfect for the Olympics. So NBC asked her if she would like to include clips from past Olympics to promote the upcoming one, and she said yes.
Dolly released that music video today, and now I am excited for the Summer games. I love watching gymnastics and all the competitions.
And I am not the only one who loves watching. “I love the Olympics! I do my best to plan my schedule to watch as much of it as I possibly can,” says Parton. “I tape it just in case I miss the live action on a certain day and watch it back as soon as possible. I laugh, I cry, I scream, there are no losers in the Olympics as they have all spent a lifetime preparing but I celebrate with the ones that go away with the gold, silver, and bronze medals.”
We know that NBC will include her in their coverage. But it will be interesting to see if France invites an American to sing two British songs during the opening ceremonies. I doubt it, but you never know. Who else can they get?
