Seeing as people are tweeting my topic.

Thanks for the story ew.com, ew.com said
*Super Bowl X (1976) The theme was “A Tribute to America’s Bicentennial: 200 Years and Just a Baby”. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys in a great game. But the second half was tough to focus on thanks to squeaky-clean, milk-drinking musical numbers provided by Up With People, a Benetton-ad collection of students from all over the world gathered together to make the cast of Fame look like hardened criminals. If you’re too young to remember Up With People, let’s put it this way — they are the music that gets played in hell’s waiting room.

I see that SB XXV is listed. The half time might have been lame but it featured the best rendition of the National Anthem by Witney Houston you will ever hear. I still play it now and then for inspiration. There was even a dramatic fly-over at the end of the anthem right on que. Remember it was during Desert Storm. That game also featured the most heartbreaking ending to as I am a Buffalo Bills fan and Scott Norwood’s kick on the final play was just wide right.

I only made it about 2-minutes into the video and, not being able to take it any longer, turn it off.

I'd note tho, that according to the related videos listed on the right, they were actually invited back for Superbowl XVI?!?!?!

Also, did anyone else notice that right at the beginning there's a guy up on the platform who isn't exactly in synch with the others (he was wearing a blue shirt)? Then he's gone from the remainder of the video.
