A musician has found a new way to make the Klu Klux Klan look ridiculous…by serenading them on the way to a march.

The KKK supporters were on their way to a rally at the South Carolina statehouse on July 18, to protest the removal of the Confederate Flag.

But in true ‘Family Guy’ style, South Carolina resident Matt Buck whipped out his sousaphone – an instrument much like a tuba - to provide a little background music.

He begins with the slow, lumbering music that Stewie Griffin uses to serenade obese people on the American cartoon.

The sousaphonist then launches into Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’, associated with the vicious helicopter assault on a Vietnamese village in the 1979 film Apocalypse Now.

'My goal was to bring some light-hearted comedic relief to rally where tensions were high,' Mr Buck told MailOnline.

'I wanted to embarrass the KKK, rather than curse, harass, or become violent like some other protesters decided.

'I'm a bit surprised by the reaction, both of protesters and counter-protesters. It was really just an instance of having a sousaphone in the right place at the right time.'

The YouTube user who uploaded the footage can be heard in the background, saying: ‘This is what stupid looks like’.

Supporters of the KKK are marching towards the South Carolina statehouse for a rally to protest the governor’s decision to remove the Confederate Flag due to its associations with racial hatred.

The decision to remove the flag was made following the racist shooting of nine black churchgoers at the hands of 21-year-old pro-Confederacy Dylann Roof last month.

Dylann Roof’s attack prompted nationwide calls for leaders to condemn the Confederate flag as a symbol of racial hatred.

KKK supporters clashed with members of the New Black Panther Party outside the statehouse on Saturday.

Confederate flags were stolen and torn up to cheers and applause from the New Black Panther demonstrators.

More than 400 people with links to the Black Panthers marched in the name of racial equality against the white supremacists.

Meanwhile KKK members stood on the steps of the capitol building performing Nazi salutes and waving the Confederate flags.

The 150-year-old flag was used by the seven southern slave states during to civil war.
