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.
Here's some "cowboy diplomacy" for You, Saddam..
NICE!
Hey, that's a good one!
I'm partial to Frank Sinatra singing it though.
DING DING DING we have a winner!
Can you see me, know my position
how quick is your eye?
I have no home, no reason to roam yet I
travel the length of the sky
I stretch my fingers jagged icy white
'till my energy's all around
My clutch is swift, my force is fearful
I convey it without a sound
I live to free the skies from everyone
watch me run - watch me
The north wind rises, old man's eyes wondering
deeply as he locks his door
He knows the fear when I'm too near him, he's seen me angry before
The black intruding clouds approach as I release a desructive blow
All the crashing, all the flashing light brings terror upon my foe
I fight with force and power for my land
I command the lightning's hand!
Run for cover - Oh your life is in vain if you try to escape me
Don't look back - Oh your wealthy world cannot save you
'Cause I'm gonna break you.
I hear them moan, I hear them weep
Because they feel I belong to the devil
They feel the pain, and will again
'till they stop reaching up for this level
No one will defeat me, no one can
I command the lightning's hand
The Battle Hymn of the Republic
RIDERS ON THE STORM by the Doors.
Good one...
"Conan, What is best in life?!"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!"
