  • @ZeroGrowth
    @ZeroGrowth Před 7 lety +3

    A few years ago I came looking for this song, and could only find versions that had audio ripped from the movie. The song was broken up in parts (and possibly incomplete), and was mixed in with the rest of the audio from the film (the announcer, cheering spectators, etc.). Great to hear a complete, "clean" version.
