I was just watching the Tour de Ski (cross-country skiing competition) broadcast on NRK (Norwegian public service TV channel), and was very surpirsed to hear C64 remixes played as background music during slow motion footage of the athletes. I'm not sure who produced the program, but I thnik today's stage took place in Italy, so maybe it was Italian TV?
I first heard a "roots" style guitar version of one of the Outrun tunes during footage of Norwegian athlete Petter Northug crossing the finish line. Then later on came a rock band version of Delta. Not sure who was playing, but guessing from the style it might have been Doron Deutch(?) or Puffy64.
I just watched the final few minutes of the broadcast, so there may have been other tunes as well.
Kinda cool
