Going a bit deep, but here's my theory on why Sly's performance was so well received at the end:
Â
This movie is set in a world where the south won the Civil War.

I just heard this for the first time, and I thought it hilarious that nobody answered Matt Jones's question about what the heck Stallone was saying in his call-and-response/screaming intro to the triumphant musical number. Unfortunately the answer kind of disproves this theory, because it's "The! South! Is! Gonna! Rise! Tonight!"
