You can't touch a Flame when it's red hot

I'll say

So many great moments in this video, I'm compelled to give you a play-by-play.

0:14--We see fingers moving on a trumpet as the note stays the same. And I think a deaf person could better approximate the sound of a trumpet with a cat and a mailbox.

0:30--A trombone player looking absolutely petrified. Never have I seen a man more frightened in my entire life. God knows what's happening off screen, but whatever it is, it's horrific.

0:39--CUT TO: The worst moustache you've ever seen in your life for entirely too long.

0:49--And suddenly a new contender has emerged.

1:02--Three singers, once voice. They obviously got the job with the sheer intensity they show when they lip sync.

1:13--The guy who was just singing into the camera turns away, revealing the most self-satisfied look I've ever seen. This guy knows he is better than you.

1:37--The keyboardist is so intent on getting his part right that he can't even break his focus long enough to look at the camera until he absolutely must.

1:40--The singer looks like every Russian foot soldier villain in every video game I have ever played.

2:14--Nice transition from the petrified trombone player to the trumpetist who could not possibly be more bored.

2:22--How long do you think it took the choreographers to get those hockey goons together on that neat little guitar move?

2:47--Gay.

2:58--Who gave the equipment manager a verse? And how did the equipment manager get six inch dents on both sides of his head?

3:07--This guy's straight out of a Nazi propaganda film. I've never seen a more perfect Aryan in my life.

3:21--"Like a magic thing that can't be bought."

3:30--Like the Joe Cocker of hockey.

3:46--RED HOT!
