.Korea Urges Army to Sing Loudly, Even in Battle Mon Feb 24,10:05 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

SEOUL (Reuters) - Forget nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction, North Korea says it has something in its arsenal to fill the enemy with mortal terror -- the million-strong army and the rest of the country singing.

North Korea's communist party newspaper urged the country's people on Monday to redouble their courage and sing the song -- snappily entitled "Long Trip for Army-based Leadership" -- more loudly at a time of tension with the United States.

The daily newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, said if North Korea was attacked, the country would resound to a song that had the power to fill "imperialists and enemies with mortal terror."

"It is the revolutionary song they should sing loudly in the confrontation," it said, according to the North's official KCNA news agency. "We should carry on the staunch struggle along the road of the army-based revolution, sonorously singing this song."

Yeah, but can they dance and carry a tune?

[Poohbah]

And GIs and ROKs alike will cheerfully shoot the singers, because the song just plain effin' SUX!

It's so lame, Kim Jong-Il posted it on KaZaa and begged people to steal it, but KaZaa just erased it :o)

[John H K]

I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY want to see the translated lyrics of this song.

[Jhoffa_]

I bet we can change their tune in minutes to:

"I want to get awaaaay, so faaaaaar away.. yeah, yeah, yeah... "

That is snappy. Perhaps they can play at next years Emmy awards. I shudder to think of how many verses there are, or the punishment for he who forgets a line.

[Mr. Mojo]

They can sing, and we'll supply the pyrotechnics.

[Poohbah]

You gotta wonder if Eminem is going to do a cover of it :o)

[Just mythoughts]

Problem is it's their wall about to come tumbling down.

SNL could not come up with something so funny. This bunch is like a spinning top.

I kind of figured that the song, Happy Talk (South Pacific), wouldn't be one of their featured songs.

[Just mythoughts]

We should pass out some musical instruments to our front line guys and start playing, see how many start singing.

Look at the North Korean soldiers... they're breakdance fighting!

First they moonwalked right across the DMZ, and every time I try and shoot one, he does the electric slide out of the way. Kim's moves may be old school, but I guess they've had time to practice!

[hoosiermama]

(Completely out of touch with reality.)

Actually think SNL could do actual quotes and get laughs.

[ZOOKER]

I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY want to see the translated lyrics of this song.

"Please Mr. Custer - I don't wanna be a soldier..."

[Norman Arbuthnot]

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go!!

[keats5]

I am so glad I was born an American.

Oh God, not the whole country singing Wayne Newton hits.

[Just mythoughts]

This is the funniest thing I have seen in weeks, there has to be a way the US can take advantage of the singing N. Koreans.
