pointer sisters

Released prior to the 1984 Summer Olympics games, the song's video featured footage of athletes competing in track and field events. The song was the second of four Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in a row for the sisters in 1984; it peaked at #3 in July. It also appeared on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart and reached the Top 10 in the UK, peaking at number six.

Yes, I know, funnest really isn't a word. But as far as Olympic Games go, these are the ones I think have the most personality. The image I remember from most Olympics is a serious, staid sporting competition between athletes who had been training all their lives for this one event. Gruff, overbearing old men coaches who look like they will kill if you don't land that throw or stick that landing.
