World of Weird Al Yankovic

27 is on the score board We are getting a lot of those references this time around.

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.

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.

That would have helped. It wouldn't have to be expensive either. He could have just cut in blooper clips or something.

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: the video - "EH, not so much!"

Translate it into German or Spanish and it would've been a great World Cup 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.
