The Olympics get a little countrified

 

The Olympics, the Olympics, the Olympics.  Getting tired of hearing about the Olympics yet?  Well here's a little more Olympic news for those of you whose ears aren't bleeding yet from all the pre-Olympic coverage.  The boys of Rascal Flatts have the distinct honor this year of having their song Unstoppable chosen to be used as the theme song for athletes at the upcoming Winter Olympics.

"AT&T and NBC came to us about the song, and they wanted to change it into more of an anthemic thing before the Olympics -- not just about love but about you being unstoppable ... like an Olympic athlete, for instance," guitarist Joe Don Rooney explains to The Boot. So Jay [DeMarcus] got with the writers, Hillary Lindsey and James Slater, and rewrote the song to fit more of that theme, and it turned out killer."

Joe Don says, "We got to shoot a video commercial spot for it last week, and the Olympics have really taken that song on and it's made this project."

The Olympics will officially take over your television on Friday, February 12th.

No, not tired of all the pre-Olympics coverage. I'm looking forward to it starting, big fan of the Olympic games and those amazing athletes that represent our country. What an honor for RS to be doing the official song! I'm sure it'll be great.
