Ah, now I know what you're talking about.  This was at the exhibition
that occurs near the end of every Winter Olympics.  This is not part of
the official competition, and so the rules are much looser.  For example,
vocal music is allowed.  So anyone who wants to can skate to "This
Woman's Work", as your original post said.  You just can't skate to this
song for any program for which you will be judged.
