I might check that out! Maybe! I have to be honest, maybe I wont! Picky film watcher here (so_annoying!). If we lived close, I would come round and watch it with you though. Assuming I was invited! 
If you were within a reasonable geographic proximity to me I would definitely invite you over to watch it. I go to great lengths to share it with people I befriend.
Give that bit a try. It's one of my favourite songs from the film. I just love how they're looking toward material things being advertised to them to better their lives.
But, on the actual topic of rabid sports fans; I never got into watching sports and never quite understood why people got so passionate about watching other people exercise. I can understand being really into playing sports, just as one could get very into playing video games, but just sitting there and watching other people do it is odd to me. I admit I have had a history of watching televised South Korean Starcraft tournaments, but even then it was for observing strategies and not for the sole purpose of rooting a certain player on. The only explanation I've figured over the years of watching my own father go from not really caring about sports to becoming a devoted fan of our local Minor League Baseball team is that there is a sense of community with the other fans that makes one feel welcome and wanted. It's something that people can bond over when they would otherwise have nothing to bond over and have little in common with the majority of society.
....man, I've been listening to and watching this track for days now, lol...something about lamenting to a trash can that I somehow can identify with, lol. I ended up watching the whole thing on youtube...in a weird way, it's depressing! LOL! But catchy.
