You almost have to be a fan of college/high school sports to truly appreciate this one. It is a spot-on satire of sport fight songs.

On first listen, this was probably my least favorite song on the album (no, I'm not a sports fan), but on subsequent listens have I've increasingly warmed up to it. I love the constant reminders of the figurative collective posterior-kicking, and especially the "we're great, and you suck!" chanting.

It's the weakest video so far, but there's not a lot you could do with the song anyhow.

At the very least, it gives the song an easy avenue to be shared during sports times.

Hm... Does that mean there will be no video at usual 6 p.m (or whatever time it is in your time zone)? Or they'll release this same video on weirdal.com and elsewhere at that time?

Todays video was supposed to be Foil, so most likely we will still get it

Ugh. That was pretty lame. For some reason, Al looks really awkward when he's marching. I can't watch the "Party in CIA" performance for this reason. There should have been more gags in the audience. Someone needs to re-edit this and stick in some funny sports footage or something.

If so, will there be 8 videos in 7 days or 9 videos in 8 days or will he skip one day to keep it 8 videos in 8 days? I'm confused :huh:
