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.

Or we could be good guys and play "Winds of Change" by the Scorpions-- a song that is really quite inspiring and harkens back to how RR changed the world for the better in the Eighties.

Earthshine
By: Rush
On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent
It's circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to
Earthshine
A jewel out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine
Floating high
In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection
Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look in my direction
Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
Full of starlit diamonds
Earthshine
Reflected light
To another's sight
And the moon tells a lover's story
My borrowed face
And my third-hand grace
Only reflect your glory
You're still out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine

PhysWar Ops demands... "Tip Toe Through the Tulips" sung by Tiny Tim!
If that doesn't start a rout, I don't know what will!
That's just too Eeeevil.

I suggest the British forces play this on an early morning raid - the choruses particularly cranked up:

Basil Poledouris (sic) really was masterful with that soundtrack. or we could go Kubrickian and play "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again." that movie was a riot!!

"It's Wednesday night,
And we're ready to strike!
Our special forces are in full flight!
We're comin' by air,
And on the ground,
We're doin' all we can an' takin' over the town!
We gotta get ready,
We gotta get right,
It's gonna be a battle in the ol' town tonight!
So get ready!
I mean get ready!
Are you ready for some football!!!"I guess that ain't good, huh?
