The 1988 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XV Olympic Winter Games (French: Les XVes Jeux olympiques d'hiver), was a Winter Olympics multi-sport event celebrated in and around Calgary, Alberta, Canada between February 13 and 28, 1988. The host city was selected in 1981, defeating Falun, Sweden and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Most events took place in Calgary while several skiing events were held in the mountain resorts of Nakiska and Canmore, west of the city.
A then-record 57 nations competed and 1,423 athletes participated. The Soviet Union won the most medals at 29, followed by East Germany with 25. As it had in Montreal in 1976, Canada again failed to win a gold medal in an official medal event as the host nation. Finnish ski jumper Matti Nykänen and Dutch speed skater Yvonne van Gennip were individual medal leaders, capturing three gold medals apiece. The Games are also remembered for the "heroic failure" of British ski jumper Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards and the Winter Olympic debut of the Jamaica national bobsled team.

Mostly turboprops
If you could just feel my pain
My pain, my sorrow
You realize what I can be tomorrow
Your self-motivating words I know
But you're talking so much shit
Your mouth looks like an asshole
Every time I see myself
I choke down all the loathe inside
It so rock star typical
Can you see why I'm cynical
Can you hear me?
What did I say?
Can you see me?
wasting away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Caught between what I say and what I see
Like all them stupid motherfuckers on MTV
All your bithcin and whining, I've heard it all before
Someone please tell me the score
Kids tease up your mowhawks now
Your new punk rock ain't going to last
Kill all rock stars
Wonder how they got the idea?
Can you hear me?
What did I say
Can you see me
Wasting away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
