What song should the Air Cav play as they storm Baghdad?

Remember the scene in "Apocalypse Now" where the Air Cav attacks the Vietcong village, and "Ride of the Valkyries" is blaring from a speaker on the lead copter? I was wondering what songs would be apropos for this war? Any good ideas? I thought a good one would be "The End" by The Doors.

[MarMema]

WIDE OPEN SPACES, The Dixie Chicks.

[HankReardon]

"O Say, Does that Star Spangled banner yet Wave,
O'er the land of the Free, and the home of the Brave.?"

[RichInOC]

"BOOM! Here comes the BOOM!
"Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South...
"BOOM! Here comes the BOOM!
"Ha, ha! How you like me now?"

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

The most American of songs.....LOUIE LOUIE!!!!!

[Dead Dog]

Metallica, you just can't beat Metallica:

Seek and Destroy,

or the altime best cover:

Am I Evil

[sheik yerbouty]

That is the same as Borodin's "The Steppes", a good choice!

You are quicker then me! LOL!

"Don't Tread on Me" -Metallica


Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
never begins it, never, but once engaged...
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
shining with brightness, always on surveillance
the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war

liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

Seek and Destroy by Metallica

[csmusaret]

Onward Christian Soldiers. If that is too politically incorrect while killing Muslims, Ghostriders in the Sky.

[Luis Gonzalez]

In America

Well the eagle's been flyin' slow
And the flag's been flyin' low
And a lot of people sayin' that America's fixin' to fall
Well speakin' just for me
And some people from Tennessee
We've got a thing or two to tell you all
This lady may have stumbled
But she aint never fell
And if the UN don't believe that
They can all go straight to hell
We're gonna put her feet back
On the path of righteousness and then
God bless America again

CHORUS
And you never did think
That it ever would happen again
You never did think
That we'd ever get together again
( We damned sure fooled you )
Yeah, we're walking real proud
And we're talkin' real loud again ( In America )
You never did think
That it ever would happen again

From The Sound up in Long Island
Out to San Francisco Bay
And everything that's in between them is our own
And we may have done a little bit
Of fightin' amongst ourselves
But you outside people best leave us alone
'Cause we'll all stick together
And you can take that to the bank
That's the cowboys and the hippies
And the rebels and the yanks
You just go and lay your hand
On a Pittsburgh Steelers' fan
And I think you're gonna finally understand

CHORUS
And you never did think
That it ever would happen again
You never did think
That we'd ever get together again
( We damned sure fooled you )
Yeah, we're walking real proud
And we're talkin' real loud again ( In America )
You never did think
That it ever would happen again

"The Girl From Ipanema"

They were talking about helicopters, not elevators. Of course that would certainly be surrealistic...

[Robert357]

I would like to suggest a "mix" of three songs

Zippity Do Dah
It's a small world
and to break the Disney cycle....the reggae classic....
What you gonna do when they come for you...Bad Boys, bad boys
