Oddly enough featuring USC’s rival Notre Dame’s band

Was Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani not recorded with a marching band? I assumed it was.

They had a brass section for the 2nd chorus but used a few instruments and a drum machine.

The song peaked at number eight in the United States for three weeks, reached number six in the United Kingdom (where it was certified Silver for sales of over 250,000 copies), number five in Canada, and number three in Australia.

The Trojan Marching Band's contributions set a record for the highest number of musicians performing on a single. At the time, the marching band had 112 members.

It’s funny how much bigger bands have gotten since then. USC is listed at 300+ now.

The music video for this song is great.

Mick towering over everyone else there, bringing out a cardboard cutout of himself. Stevie showing off her majorette baton twirling skills. Christine casually strolling around wearing a Cub Scout uniform shirt, imitating Linda Ronstadt, while holding a glass of wine.

John McVie couldn't be there, so it's his cutout. They all looked like they were having so much fun doing this.

You need to hear The Ohio State University Marching Band play “Hang On, Sloopy” (Ohio’s official state rock ‘n’ roll song) some time.

I mean, they’re kind of okay. They’re no Blue Band tho.

Don’t let them hear you say that. They bill themselves as “The Best Damn Band In The Land .”

It’s okay with me if you think some other band is better, though.

I’m not surprised considering how specific of a record it is.

My first thought was "Fool in the Rain" by Led Zeppelin, which came out about the same time, but I guess they didn't really use a marching band-though it sounds like it.
