We knew that the dude could kick some butt, but we didn't know he could do it harmonically. Turns out that the action hero/crazy stunt guy has a bit of a side career in music and now he's going to be the voice of the 2008 Olympics.

The 53-year-old actor, best known for his daredevil stunts, has recorded "We Are Ready," the official countdown song to the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

He spent three hours recording the song during a recent trip to Beijing, Chan said in a blog entry on his Web site Wednesday.

Apparently, Jackie was taken back by the lyrics to the song. And now, if we may, we'd like to receipt a stanza for you now.

*ahem*

Waiting year after year/ We can see into the future/ Together with hard work and sweat, we've created the five different (Olympic) colors

Wow, that really does leave you feeling a shudder in your soul. You know, Jackie, you should really considering getting rid of your current lyricist because the crap he's writing for you now just doesn't even make sense.

Yep, he's totally holding you back.
