If you are a Singaporean, you are probably aware of the overated and overwhelming advertisement of the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) which will be held in Singapore.
Our Mascots, Lyo & Merlyn.
Idea came from our Singapore mascot, MERLION. yea, you don't have to be a genius to know that.

Months it even officially started which is on 14 August 2010 there where banners, posters and celebrations all over the place but my post is not about the overly enthusiastical commotion but about the infamous JJ Lin Cheer song.
It is has a catchy beat complete with dance moves but it is only appealing to kids & old people. (I have seen and heard people from both classes singing the song -_-)
It is purely irritating to people who are in between. Sure, I could not write & produce any better but see how I am not writing and producing one? I never knew JJ Lin until now but I heard he is an awesome singer so what happened?
Thank God they have an official YOG theme song that is less irritating.
Despite of EVERYTHING that annoys me, I cannot deny that I am somewhat proud that Singapore managed host the YOG and I absolutely love the advertisement.

Why didn't they have such advertisemet when I was younger? I could've have been a professional runner/badminton/swimmer by now instead of a couch poato. =(

ReplyDelete@juan lol
ReplyDeletesometimes we dont understand why they pick a particular song to be an official event song.. probably something to do with connections and money as well =/
ReplyDelete@ken precisely or they just have very bad taste. =P
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were just talking about this. Even the YOG officials made a statement that they've got nothing to do with the song JJ sang. Never have I heard an official say such things.
ReplyDeletei like the last vid.
ReplyDeletekinda wish there was an advert like tht when i was younger too!! wouldve been a little more sportier =.=
@ira i know right? i bet if the song receive compliments, it would be otherwise.
