    War is an idiotic thing though and only clowns glorify it, so not too far off

    Shouldn’t have written such a jaunty song then. I couldn’t imagine marching to war to that, I’d probably start skipping.

      Honestly with a proper orchestra it sounds more suitable for old timey armies.

      Still better than Fučková or Šitler (pronounced shitler).

        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.

        The guy who composed “Entry of the gladiators” is called “Julius Fucik”.

    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.

    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˃

      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.
