Are the Village People in the Olympic Village?

Is it just me, or did anyone else find it surreal and bizarre that the nations of the world marched into the Olympic stadium the the sounds of mostly American disco and pop from the '70s and '80s? Somehow, a small contingent of athletes from a far-Eastern Muslim nation making its entrance to the sounds of "I Will Survive," by Gloria Gaynor, just doesn't quite work... or maybe it is a perfect "moment of Zen."

On the other hand, perhaps I am the only person in America that stayed up to watch the opening ceremonies. Did anyone else?
