[Poohbah]

IIRC, Billy Ray didn't show up on the scene until a couple years later.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Oy vey! That's the best suggestion so far! :)

[Choose Ye This Day]

Or the soundtrack to "Yentl."

[raynearhood]

"Or Slim Whitman's "When I'm Calling You?" After all, it got rid of the martians in that UFO movie...."

The movie was Mars Attacks. That was going to be my suggestion.

When we drove into Baghdad my one of my troops stuck a boombox on the roof of our Humvee and repeatedly played "Bombs Over Bahdad" by Outkast.

[Solamente]

Do a search for INFRASOUND WEAPONS !

[mombonn]

"You shoot like a goat herder"

LOL! I hope they also also add, "Yo mama wears combat boots"!

And, I hope they blast them with a few thousand repeats of Barney's famous song, "I love you, you love me".

[irishtenor]

The Hallelujah Chorus?

[Redcloak]

Somehow, I doubt that there are many fans of Camus in Fallujah.

[Argus]

"I Put A Spell On You" - Screamin' Jay Hawkins

"Mannish Boy" - Muddy Waters

"Devil In A Blue Dress" - Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels

"Lohengrin Act 2 Prelude" - Wagner

"Light Cavalry Overture" - Suppe

"Memphis" - Lonnie Mack

etc.

"IIRC, Billy Ray didn't show up on the scene until a couple years later."

You are correct sir... Achy-Breaky was El Reno's dance music at Waco....

[ovrtaxt]

If the goal is to incite rage, Klezmer tunes would certainly draw them out!

[Poohbah]

Hava Nagila

[Overtaxed]

Does anybody here remember Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? I think they should play that song that killed the tomatoes.

[Kieri]

Hampster Dance...on a LONG, long loop.

[don-o]

The message was specially timed for an attack moments later by an AC-130 gunship that pounded targets in the city.

Don't have TV.

Are the big guns going to work on this cesspool?

[LibKill]

Since when do Marines "Hold their position"!

Marines advance and destroy the enemy!

The politicians are in charge. These are not your WWII politicians. These are touchy-feeley politicians.

An omlet cannot be made without breaking eggs.

A city cannot be taken without killing lots of people, including lots of civillians.

"It is fatal to enter any conflict without the desire to win." (Douglas MacArthur)

"There is no substitute for victory." (Douglas MacArthur)

"We're surrounded, that simplifies our problem. We can shoot in any direction and kill communists." (Chesty Puller)

History will prove me right and the touchy-feeley politicians wrong.

OK, let's start suggesting songs for our Marines to play

Start playing the sound tracks to porno movies. That ought to drive these sexually repressed clingons up the wall. It would be even better if the army would make a sound track between Joe the GI and Fatima the Iraqi.

Here's some sample dialog.Fatima: Oh Joe, your member is so huge. It's so much bigger than Achmeds. He barely has enough to violate a goat.

Make sure the Marines have lots of ammo if they play something like this.

[pbear8]

After a few choruses of "Kumbayah" everything will be peaceful in Fallujah.

[TomGuy]

We need a thread of these too, just in case the troops run low on insults:

an Army psychological operations team hopes a mix of heavy metal and insults shouted in Arabic — including, "You shoot like a goat herder"

[I'd bet the Admin Moderator would pull that thread, though (sign)]

"Hey, Acmed, Your favorite goat has herpes."

[Frunabulax]

In an earlier thread, someone suggested looping "It's a small world". I'm still in rehab.
