Re: Sports Song
I liked it! I'm a big sports fan and I was in my high school marching band all four years, so I have multiple soft spots for this video.
That being said, yes, Al did look awkward marching. He shouldn't have been bending his knees, and while I know nothing about batons, I think it would have looked better if he kept the baton up higher. It kind of bummed me out that the band stayed in their parade block the whole time instead of forming at least one or two formations, although I know choreographing that would be extremely more complicated and time-consuming.
What I especially liked was the shots of fans in the stands. The two fans breaking their beer mugs by knocking them together is a classic Weird Al music video scene to me.

Apparently the video needs flying pigs in tutus or something.

Re: Sports Song
The reason *I* think this is awkward is because the song is intentionally ambiguous and can be used to describe literally ANY type of team-sport. I would've loved to see not only football represented, but also basketball... hockey... couples tennis... you get the idea.tomatochives wrote: I agree. And those two lone football players head-butting was awkward. It would actually be funny if we saw two teams beating the crap out of each other. Seriously, what was the point of all that?!

That would have helped. It wouldn't have to be expensive either.

Having a football player tackle a golfer would be funny

I personally LOVE the music video. It is simple, but a good fit for the song

Re: Sports Song
Translate it into German or Spanish and it would've been a great World Cup song.

Re: Sports Song
The good news is when college football season starts, I guarantee you there will be dozens of videos for this song that are much better.
