This is hilarious, just found it. My husband is one of the players on the top of the bus and yes, I have to admit it, I was one of the cheerleaders. Luckily,..I mean sadly I couldn't get away from work on the day they filmed the video, so I'm not in it but I can't stop laughing at it. Those were the days, we all thought we were so glamorous rofl!!
