London 2012 Olympics: Muse song 'Survival' revealed as main Games track On the band's website a statement said: "The song will be played throughout the Games including when athletes enter the stadium, in the lead up to the medal ceremony and also as the theme for all international TV coverage. We are honoured that the Olympics have chosen our song to officially represent the London 2012 Olympic Games across the globe. The worldwide radio exclusive will be tonight [Wednesday night] on BBC Radio 1 during Zane Lowe's show around 19:30 and will be available to buy on iTunes and in the muse.mu store immediately afterwards. Muse's contribution comes as news that a music library of 2012 songs with five music themes - energy, prime time, extreme, heritage and world stage - has been compiled. Each theme will be tailored for specific sports, for example heritage for tennis at Wimbledon or extreme for BMX. A unique music programme for the Olympic Games called "Rock the Games" is being created which features live performances and exclusive new recorded tracks from various artists. Five official songs have been composed for "Rock The Games," led by Muse. The other four official songs are by Elton John vs Pnau (released July 16) Delphic (July 23), Chemical Brothers (July 30) and Dizzee Rascal (August 6).
