It’s the collab we never knew we needed.
During a recent Savannah Bananas baseball game, the team’s official “Dad Bod Cheer Squad” known as the Man-Nanas, joined forces with the New England Patriots cheerleaders at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts for a routine that’s been scoring big with fans.
The grand slam of a number has gone viral with nearly four million views on Instagram alone as of Sept. 6, since it was posted just over a day prior. And after seeing it, you’ll understand why.
The video begins with the Patriots cheerleaders, performing to a mashup of several songs including Destiny’s Child’s “Lose My Breath, Missy Elliott’s “Lose Control” and Beyoncé’s “Formation.”
Pretty soon, the Man-Nanas join the fun. And together, the parties crush the routine as the stadium explodes into cheers.

The performance was part of the Savannah Bananas’ two-night series against the Loco Beach Coconuts at Gillette Stadium on Aug. 28 and 29.
