VIDEO: If you're going to have a pep band, why not have one with some Rage?

I just like the following video. It's George Mason University's basketball pep band, playing "Killing in the Name" a 1992 song by Rage Against the Machine."
It's been described as "a howling, expletive-driven tirade against the ills of American society." Hey, you don't call yourself Rage Against the Machine if you're a pop group.
This is Rage's signature song, but it's not exactly standard pep band fare. But it works for me, and obviously, for them.
Bonus track: From the same Colonial conference, here is Virginia Commonwealth's pep band doing "Requiem From a Dream."
