A dance group's version of a Mozart symphony for the Euro 2008 theme? That sounds bleedin awful. noooo:
Dance group Unkle's version of a Mozart symphony has been chosen as the theme for BBC Sport's coverage of Euro 2008.
The interpretation of Symphony no. 41 will be illustrated by an animated title sequence produced by the BBC with Aardman Animations.
The choice of Mozart reflects the fact the event, which begins on 7 June, is being staged in Switzerland and the composer's birthplace of Austria.
ITV Sport is also using a Mozart composition for its coverage.
It will be using a recording of Queen Of The Night performed by soprano Natasha Marsh.
BBC Sport's opening sequence will feature animated versions of players from the English Premier League, including Christiano Ronaldo, Michael Ballack, William Gallas and Fernando Torres.
Founded in 1994, Unkle consists of brothers James and Aiden Lavelle and Pablo Clements.
They have collaborated with bands like Radiohead, Badly Drawn Boy and The Verve.
The group are currently in the middle of a UK tour.
