Jamaican Bobsled Team In Sochi Olympics Has Catchy, Reggae Theme Song (Video)

If you weren’t already rooting for the Jamaican bobsled team in the 2014 Winter Olympics, you probably will be after hearing the team’s new theme song.

“Jamaica We Have a Bobsled Team,” is so 1993, so Jamaica decided to reinvent the squad’s soundtrack after a 12-year absence from the games. The country’s main tourism agency is touting “The Bobsled Song” for the 2014 Sochi games. The song is intended to sync up with the two-man run of Jamaican riders Marvin Dixon and Winston Watts — and there’s even a video.

The video — in all its eight-bit animation glory — navigates the entirety of the 1,500 meter course Dixon and Watts will race in real life.

Check it out below.

The two-man event for bobsled is on Sunday, and the medal round is on Monday.
