Forget attractive cheerleaders or Justin Timberlake fondling Janet Jackson’s bosoms, this is an example of how to do a half-time show.
On a night when Tim Tebow and Tom Brady shared a pitch at the Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, the spotlight was stolen from those superstars when, during the half-time show, a dog ran across the field saddled by a monkey in a cowboy shirt.
Yes, this actually happened, and it was far more entertaining than the Patriots’ 41-23 victory, which in itself was no mean spectacle.
The overall cuteness factor is enhanced by the tiny cowboy boots worn by the monkey, but for us the video is made by the jaunty, vaguely Australian soundtrack that goes with it.
The suits at the GAA should take note. If you want to jazz up the National Football and Hurling Leagues, Jedward playing to the masses at Croke Park simply doesn’t work. This will.
