1. I used to have a "Louie Louie" anthology

.
... that had perhaps the Ohio State University Marching Band's version
as one of the tunes.
.
. Funny.
.
. I think my favorite was Black Flag's version.
.

20. Whenever I hear "Louie Louie" being played by a marching band, I can't but help think of...

..."The Naked Gun", when Ricardo Maltobahn's character falls off the edge of the stadium and lands on the parking lot, then gets flattened by a steamroller, and then gets trampled over by the marching band playing "Louie Louie."

"Oh Frank! That's horrible! Just horrible! My father died the same way!"

2. The video for Alanis' "One Hand In My Pocket" had a marching band.

The song didn't.

And what in the hell is "Tusk" anyway?

[eyepaddle]

4. Unless there is another one, Tusk is Fleetwood Mac

but since I broke up with Juli in 1992 I haven't heard Much Fleetwood Mac, so I can't remember if that has a Marching Band in it...

31. Am I remembering correctly that The Tubes used a marching band

in some ( or at least one time) performances of their lovely, sentimental ballad, White Punks on Dope? Or did I just hallucinate the whole thing?
