I love this movie and try to watch it every spring. Greatest sports
movie ever.

 

Tanner Boyle: All we got on this team are a buncha Jews,
spics, niggers, pansies, and a booger-eatin' moron!

 

Ogilvie: Tanner, I think you need to be reminded from
time to time that you are one of the few people on this
team who is not a Jew, spic, nigger, pansy or a
booger-eating moron. So you'd better cool it or we may
be disposed to beat the crap out of you.

 

Corrupted my childhood. What movie is it?

 

I don't know but it sounds like bad news.

 

I cheated, and peaked, but it turns out that I had guessed the right movie.

 

I suspect you have too.

 

Ian  (FTR, I have never seen this movie. I also have never seen "The
Exorcist" - that movie is much higher on my "Must See" list than Adam's
entry!!  :p  )

 
Then you've never heard this?

I suppose it's possible someone never heard it but I would be
surprised if someone over 40 never heard that at some point. Even if
only a small segment.

Strangely enough, the song is called Tubular Bells but it's played on the
piano doubled with glockenspiel, not on, you know, tubular bells as one might
expect.
