What is the other theme song they play for the Olympics on NBC?

Question

One is "Olympic Fanfare and Theme", but what's the other one? The Ba, Ba, Ba-ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba-ba ba ba... etc...

Answer 1

I looked this one up too. It is called ''Bugler's Dream''. and according to wikipedia it is one of the songs that many athletes listen to to pump them up before their event. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

NBC uses mainly three themes for its Olympic Coverage:

Bugler's Dream is the principal theme composed by Leo Arnaud in the late 1960s.

John Williams' 1984 "Olympic Fanfare and Theme" for the Los Angeles games is the other principal theme.

The third theme is Williams' "Summon the Heroes", the official theme for the Atlanta Centennial Games in 1996.

All this music is available on CD. "Olympic Fanfare" has been a popular staple in Pops concerts around the world and has been recorded many times by numerous orchestras and symphonic bands. My personal favorite recordings you can find them in Sony Classical's album "Summon the Heroes" with the Boston Pops Orchestra which you can easily find on any record store in the classical section.
