It seems we do not have a topic on this tune/toon yet, so I figured "Why not make one!?!"

I really enjoy this video. It is definitely my favorite Old-Timey video on the site, as well as my favorite music video and quite possibly my favorite short. And the thing is, I don't really know why; I think the song really captures the Old-Timey feel while still being catchy, and I like seeing all of the different Old-Timey characters in one video. So, yeah, this is one top-notch piece of entertainment.

What's your thoughts?

Um... we don't have a topic on this because the toon is 6 years old...

So? There are topics on Marshmallow's Last Stand and Jumping Jack Contest.

True, but those are classics and secret pages. Most everyone has seen Ballad of the Sneak by now, and if you're going to do a poll, at least make it fair. Just because you think something is über-awesome-cool doesn't mean everyone else does.

What are you talking about? The poll is completely fair!

I watched this just a second ago to make sure my opinions still stand.

I think it's pretty decent. I'm not that big of a fan of the song, but you were right in saying it was cool seeing all of the Old Timey characters compiled together like that. I liked seeing a barbershop quartet thing of The Announcer, and Old Timey Homestar's line at the end was priceless.

So in my opinion, it's not amazing, but it's pretty solid.

The song is pretty fantastic but the animation isn't that good. TBC have just never gotten the 1930s look down. Nothing looks hand-drawn enough.

Don't want to be a downer, but I think that this song is one of the worst ones on the site. It's mostly because of the very beginning, which I think sounds terrible. (It's the part where the Barbershop Trio can be seen singing together.)
