Has anyone else heard this rumour? Seems crazy but Jarvis did speculate about the opening ceremony on the EuroStar advert after all. Wonder if there's a link here!

I heard a rumor that they might but I'm pretty sure that was just wild speculation on tumblr

Imagine how funny Common People would be in front of 80,000 people who paid £1,000+ to be there! Most of them being part of corporations, and we thought the cruise was bad!

P.S I am joking of course, Pulp playing the closing ceremony would be brilliant with the amount of people watching, and I'd love to see them! The exposure would be unreal...

It would be great. I could scream at the television and my parents could nod politely and say "he still sounds out of tune to me."

They weren't on the leaked closing ceremony schedule the sun did a few weeks ago. But you never know. Let's hope so, maybe.

Maybe Jarvis will sing Common People backed with bagpipes only.

Do any Americans know how much coverage we'll even be getting of this? The way NBC has been ""tailoring to an American audience"" leaves me wondering if they'll even bother airing all of it or if we'll just get stuck watching another mundane interview with Michael Phelps. Pulp or no Pulp, I would like to see Blur perform.

Blur are playing hyde park at the same time of the closing ceremony, so it won't happen. But rumors say Liam Gallagher will be there.

To be fair, on the last four albums, Liam did write songs. On the last three albums, even Gem Archer and Andy Bell did write songs.

Yeah what's that all bout mate, Gem Andy and Liam wrote plenty of songs for Oasis, I don't get it ? (the first Beady Eye record is 99% of rejected Oasis songs too)

Liam wrote some good songs for the band, the other two, well...

Isn't it Liam and his Beady Eyes doing Wonderwall?

I suppose that's a bit like Jarvis' solo band doing Common People.

Or Gorillaz doing Song 2.

Just feels a bit naff.

At the Sydney closing ceremony Ben Lee sang We Are All In This Together. I was quite excited being one of the few Brits who'd even heard of him. Then Huw Fucking Edwards started yammering all over it. Tosser. Then at the Beijing closing ceremony they had the bit where it was passed on to Great Britain and we had a little handover display, whatever you call it. A seemingly ordinary London bus drives into the stadium. Then Huw Fucking Edwards pipes up "And now the bus will transform" a few seconds later it starts going all Transformers on us. Thanks for ruining the surprise Huw! Smug tosser.

Apparently there is going to be a link-up between Hyde Park and the Olympic Stadium while Parklife is being played. Sounds a bit cheesy but it can't be much more cheesy than the opening ceremony. Wouldn't be surprised if Liam Gallagher was to perform Wonderwall, sounds like the sort of thing he'd do

Parklife at Hyde Park again.

Hmm...

I'm betting on a big shout of "OI! OI!" as that guy from Sunnyside Farm comes bouncing on.

Isn't the Henman Hill bit of the Olympic Park called "Park Live"?

I thought Liam said he hated Wonderwall and couldn't stand having to sing it ever again.

Yeah it's gonna be Wonderwall reworked apparently. And where did you here that about the link-up ? I wonder how they will do it. Just showing Blur doing Parklife 10 miles from there do sound a bit cheesy. Or maybe they'll play at the Olympics then off to helicopter to Hyde Park...  Or holograms. or cartoons... wait, that's not Blur.

 I suppose when people ask you to sing it in front of Billions of people, that might make you change your mind. + it will be the biggest ever audience Beady Eye will ever reach

Yeah, they now play Oasis songs because they've realised that's the only people want to see Beady Eye.

Yeah that's the lowest point in a career you can get to. I mean playing their Oasis songs would be fine, but Noel's... that's a bit shitty.

Used to drive me mad when Jarvis didn't play Pulp songs, but I'm glad he didn't now, it made the reunion much more exciting.

Andy, to be fair, *all* Oasis songs were Noel's. Liam just sang 'em. As was the case with Wonderwall.

And Liltman, I didn't mind - to be honest - that Jarv didn't play Pulp. Some artists need to break from the past to strive out a new. It was definitely a lot less sad watching Jarvis play tracks off his albums than watching solo Brett Anderson play a set full of album tracks to a fairly lethargic audience, and then come out to do Trash, Can't Get Enough etc. in full rock showman stylee. It was as if he needed the attention and knew the only way to do it would be to play The Hits.

Jarvis, on the other hand, gave lectures. And the audiences loved him for it.

Yeah, Jarvis's solo has/had a sort-of dignity to it didn't it? I didn't want loads of Pulp tracks, just one a gig at the time. But looking back I loved the choice of covers I saw him perform (Heaven and Being Boiled)

Where did the Pulp rumour come from anyway? I mean, apart from this board.
