Everyone is #1
The Olympics may be over, but Beijing still has one event left to host this summer: the Paralympics, which start Sept. 6.Those Games will be hosted at many of the same venues here in Beijing, but some aspects, like the logos and promoters, are different from the Olympics. The Paralympics' theme song is also different.
The music video for the song -- titled "Everyone is Number One" -- is bit painful to watch. It feels a little like a Disney flick crammed into nine minutes. It starts out with a kid being hit by a car and losing his leg. Four minutes in, a man throws his prosthetic leg at the telephone in angst. There's also a strange scene of two characters playing catch, which I haven't seen anyone in China do.
Here's the full music video:
