South Carolina man mocks Ku Klux Klan rally supporters with serenade from sousaphone

A South Carolina musician, seeking a way to speak out against a Ku Klux Klan rally, dropped a not so subtle hint for the racist organizers to change their tune by mocking them with his sousaphone as they strolled past him.

Matt Buck, a resident of Columbia S.C., told the Charleston City Paper he had a sousaphone handy and used it to give the group an impromptu piece of his musical mind.

"I didn't really know how to show my opposition, so that was my way of doing it," he told the newspaper.

The organizers were protesting the removal of the Confederate flag from the government building. The measure was implemented after nine people were killed in a shooting at a black church in Charleston last month. It is believed the gunman's actions were racially motivated.

Buck had gone to a peaceful protest earlier in the day and when he saw the group of white men marching down the street with Confederate flags he started with a tune played by the "Family Guy" character Stewie when he followed a fat person around with a tuba.

He then switched over to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries," which he got from the "Blues Brothers" scene when Nazis were chasing Jake and Elwood in their car.

This music makes anything sound foolish.

A weepy violin would have worked too, but that was beautiful.

I am sousaphone player and I love this

 

[GhostTrick]

Hahahahaa. I love it ! But I think to make it even more pathetic and stupid, he should have played badly, in a parodic way.

I was thinking that too. Would have been waaaaay more effective if he had played out of tune half of the time or just hit the occasional sour note real hard.

 

[TheJLC]

Should have charged them $60 each.

 

[Abounder]

He should be an honorary Blues Brother, rock on

Heck, I'd say it would have been a perfect troll if played with a kazoo

This is great; would be better without the woman's stupid comments however.

 

[kulapik]

And now I'm singing to myself the Stewie tuba tune. Dammit.

Nice, another sousaphone player on GAF. I thought this was hilarious.

 

[Hypron]

The racism in some of those youtube comments is almost parodic. What a bunch of muppets.

I laughed at Flight of the Valkyries. Reminded me of the flying Nazis in the Blues Brothers.

Yup. Plus, it has an even better troll video.

 

[SimpleGamer]

Genius!

 

[Nicktendo86]

Perfect.

I thought the same thing. Just shut up and capture the moment.

 

[Arkos]

Brilliant!

 

[SURGEdude]

That's great, but the portrait video makes my soul cry. Especially because it's like the perfect thing to shoot in landscape. Only time it doesn't bother me is if the person is trying to be covert which this lady clearly wasn't.
