Lunchtime music video: Double Yoi Polka

As the Big Game approaches, I wanted to renew what had become something of a standing feature on this blog, which was running music videos that had some timeliness to them or were just plain fun. Just a little dessert to go along with your brown bag lunch. Well, there's a lot of sappy Super Bowl musical tributes to the Steelers out there on the Internet but I can't bring myself to run any of those.

However, one of the things associated with the Steelers that I can admit I am fond of is the late Myron Cope, the broadcaster with a voice that would make dogs howl. Myron, who was the first to laugh at himself and had the nerve to refer to Chuck Noll as the "Emperor Chaz," was also the originator of the Terrible Towel. So here's a music video that has some fun with Myron's favorite verbal expressions, such as, "Yoi!" and doesn't take the concept of Steeler Nation all that seriously.
