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.

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

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

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.

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.

I think the cutout is John McVie

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.

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

Radiohead played 15 Step at the Grammys one year with the USC Marching Band and it was fuckin’ dope as hell

Not a huge fan of the song but the way it was seamlessly worked into the opening of "The Americans" pilot was masterful

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

I don't think this song has anything to do with fingernails

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

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