Heroes
One of the most covered songs in pop history
Bowie wrote it in his "Berlin
Period”
It is Bowie's second-most covered song.
Bowie's performance of "Heroes" on June 1987 at the German Reichstag in West Berlin was considered a catalyst to the eventual fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Wallflowers recorded a version of the song for the soundtrack to the film Godzilla. And also used for the end of the film The replacements.
This version peaked at top numbers on Modern Rock Tracks charts.
The song has become a mainstay of advertising for sporting promoters throughout the world.
In 2012 the track was played as athletes from Great Britain entered the Olympic Stadium during the Summer Olympics opening ceremony, and after medal ceremonies.
As you can see, it was also used as the Great Britain Paralympic team entered the stadium during the opening ceremony on 29 August 2012.
