WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Purdue "All-American" Marching Band put on a show for the young and the young at heart during last Saturday's football game. 

The band paid homage to television cartoons during halftime of the Boilermakers' game against Ohio State, featuring theme songs from eight popular cartoons. 

The musicians marched into formations displaying characters from each show, starting with "Pinky and the Brain" before moving to "Family Guy," "The Impossibles" and "Doug." 

Perhaps the biggest reaction came when the band formed the shape of "Bluey," the canine star of the hit Australian cartoon that has become a fixture in American homes.

Video of the "Bluey" portion of the show went viral on TikTok, where a post showing the performance had been viewed 3.3 million times and shared by more than 54,000 users in just two days.

The crowd can even be heard singing along with parts of the song, which name the members of the show's Heeler family, Mom, Dad, Bingo and, of course, Bluey. 

After performing the theme from "The Fairly OddParents," the band concluded the show with the iconic theme songs from "Looney Tunes" and "The Flintstones," before signing off by forming the unforgettable script "That's All Folks!" tag from "Looney Tunes" cartoons.
