World of Weird Al Yankovic

oh man. thank you. that's pretty cool indeed.

Thanks for posting that, tankgirl! I definitely hear what you mean.

I recognized the first song from an Animaniacs parody which I hadn't thought about in almost 20 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufJTqT5gMg0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Oh this is fantastic! Yeah, "Sports Song" definitely reminds me of Sousa marches, especially these. I remember playing all three of these at some point during my time in marching band. We played Sousa marches and college fight songs, most of which high schools adopted as their fight songs. Ours was actually "Go U Northwestern". Leave it Al to make me think back fondly on marching band.

Here's another similar song, again confirming the Monty Python vibe we're getting from Sports Song:

Of course, it's most likely that both of these songs are simply taking from the same style inspiration, rather than Al deliberately mimicking this particular song.

HAHA! I remember this song! Too funny!

So, Al might have had a good gut-instinct to write this song...

So this whole week so far I've been doing band camp. (It's really like an exercise boot camp FYI) Sports Song is the song that keeps making me want to go everyday all energetic to march. I've yet to show my band director but I really think he might enjoy the song I really want Al to release a whole band arrangement so that marching bands everywhere will get their turn to play it!

Well, I know I signed it. If Al performs, I might actually watch the game!

What, last year's Super Bowl wasn't dramatic enough to hold your interest?

I couldn't even tell you who played.* I'm more of a baseball guy.

*Okay, I know Denver was one of the teams because I read about Manning blowing up early...but couldn't tell you who they played. (I.e. the team that actually won.)
