War is an idiotic thing though and only clowns glorify it, so not too far off
Came to say this, yea war is for dummies who should be fired out of cannons.
Shouldn't have written such a jaunty song then. I couldn't imagine marching to war to that, I'd probably start skipping.
People with coulrophobia find this song incredibly intimidating
Fear of clowns for the uneducated like me.

Honestly with a proper orchestra it sounds more suitable for old timey armies.
I'm not sure it's composer gave a Fučík about how it was used
*its
I noticed that immediately after posting it, but it stays :P
I wonder whether one of Fučková’s distant ancestors was the Bavarian nobleman Focko, after whom the Austrian village of Fugging (née Fucking) was named.
Y'know it's okay to type out those silly naughty words
Did you know you can hum the march and change midway to Yakety Sax?
Congratulations, you now have two songs on autoplay in your head.
Joke’s on you, I have ADHD and this changes nothing from my normal resting state.
If Streetlight Manifesto is ska, then Yakety Sax is a march
Have you listened to the song? It sounds totally goofy. I'm pretty sure he intended it for antics.
March of the Toreadors could go either way
Dance of the Knights is serious imperialist business.
In my own opinion, Beethoven: Symphony No. 5, Movement III Allegro is a righteous anthem for Europa Concordia conquering the world in glory, and is a better one than the Ninth, Movement IV Finalé but people like the chorus.
I should also nod to the Saber Dance by Aram Khachaturian, which sounds too goofy for sabres. ˂nod˃

Dude's got the face of a circus ringmaster.
Or a mall cop.
Wait, it’s a song?
It's a march by Czech composer Julius Fučík called "Entry of the Gladiators", written in 1897.
Edit: It gets memeier! From Wikipedia:
He originally titled it "Grande Marche Chromatique", reflecting the use of chromatic scales throughout the piece, but changed the title based on his personal interest in the Roman Empire.
What thinking about the Roman Empire does to a mf
I want that music at my funeral.
I'd rather have pop goes the weasel...
Lol
