“Gold,” “Silver,” & “Bronze” Songs

In case you were wondering (and I realize that you probably weren't) whether I was completely ignoring the fact that there's currently an Olympics going on, and if you were curious (and I know you weren't) as to whether or not I'd somehow integrate an Olympics theme into my music blogging, here are your answers. I wasn't ignoring the Olympics – in fact, I've shortened many a night's sleep of late watching the broadcasts. And I did come up with somewhat of an Olympic-themed post.
