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.

Golden Earing's "When The Bullet Hits The Bone"
Intro:
Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned his back on him...
Verse 1:
It's 2 A.M. the fear has gone
I'm sitting here waiting the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of taking chances
Verse 2:
Yeah there's a storm on the loose
Sirens in my head
Wrapped up in silence all circuits are dead
Cannot decode my whole life spins into a frenzy...
Chorus:
Help I'm stepping into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far
Help I'm stepping into the twilight zone
Place is a madhouse feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far
So you'll come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
So you'll come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Verse 3:
I'm falling down a spiral--destination unknown
Double crossed messenger--all alone
Can't get no connection, can't get through--where are you
Verse 4:
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the border line
When the hitman comes he knows damn well
he has been cheated...
And he says
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
Outro
So you'll come to know
When the bullet hits the bone

Almost anything performed by the Texas Aggie Band. While NOT being a BQ, I thinks the "Noble Men of Kyle" would do nicely...

I believe that's the William Tell Overture.

Manhattan Project
By: Rush
Imagine a time when it all began
In the dying days of a war
A weapon that would settle the score
Whoever found it first would be sure to do their worst.
They always had before...
Imagine a man where it all began
A scientist pacing the floor
In each nation, always eager to explore
To build the best big stick
To turn the winning trick.
But this was something more...
The big bang took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun
The end was begun and it hit everyone
When the chain reaction was done
The big shots tried to hold it back
Fools tried to wish it away
The hopeful depend on a world without end
Whatever the hopeless may say
Imagine a place where it all began
Gathered from across the land
To work in the secrecy of the desert sand
All of the brightest boys
To play with the biggest toys
More than they bargained for...
Imagine a man when it all began
The pilot of "Enola Gay"
Flying out of the shockwave on that August day
All the powers that be, and the course of history,
Would be changed forevermore...

I'm thinking "Still" by the Geto Boys. Lots of "Die MFer! Die!" getting repeated over and over again.

Oh Mama, yes. Very nice. Of course after my last post I had to pull out the CD and pop it in - my computer speakers are bouncing on my desk!!

Agree w/"Feelings" -- suggest Streisand as the vocalist. Gotta be easy to capture a guy while he's puking and/or covering both ears with his hands.
