Danny Boyle’s 2012 Olympic soundtrack features Sex Pistols, The Clash, Monty Python theme

A recently leaked document lists 86 songs chosen by Boyle to be played during the games, revealing that, above all else, the show will be very Boylian. Among the songs listed are several British punk classics including, naturally, “London Calling” by The Clash, “Going Underground” by The Jam and—in a controversial move—The Sex Pistols’ “God Save the Queen,” which was added to the list while the monarchical anthem itself remains absent.

As an attempt to highlight London’s rich musical history, the list succeeds in capturing everything from Handel’s Music For The Royal Fireworks to the ecstasy-laden pop of the Happy Monday’s “Step On” and Underworld’s “Born Slippy” (which famously appeared on the soundtrack to Trainspotting). In between are the ubiquitous theme songs of Monty Python and the James Bond series and, because no Olympic games would be complete without it, Vangelis’ title track from “Chariots Of Fire.”
