What song should the Air Cav play as they storm Baghdad?
3/19/03 | drew

Posted on 03/19/2003 1:16:46 PM PST by drew

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.

Gunter glieben glauten globen

Alright I got something to say It's better to burn out than fade away All right Gonna start a fire

Rise up, gather round Rock this place to the ground Burn it up let's go for broke Watch the night go up in smoke

Rock on, rock on Drive me crazier, no serenade No fire brigade, just pyromania

What do you want? What do you want? I want rock'n'roll, yes I do Long live rock'n'roll

Oh let's go, let's strike a light We're gonna blow like dynamite I don't care if it takes all night Gonna set this town alive, come on

What do you want? What do you want? I want rock'n'roll, allright Long live rock'n'roll

Rock of ages, rock of ages Still rollin', keep a-rollin' Rock of ages, rock of ages Still rollin', rock 'n' rollin' We got the power, got the glory Just say you need it and if you need it Say yeah

Now listen to me I'm burnin', burnin', I got the fever I know for sure, there ain't no cure So feel it, don't fight it, go with the flow Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme one more for the road

What do you want? What do you want? I want rock'n'roll, you betcha Long live rock'n'roll

Rock of ages, rock of ages Still rollin', keep a-rollin' Rock of ages, rock of ages Still rollin', rock 'n' rollin' We got the power, got the glory Just say you need it and if you need it Say yeah, say yeah

We're gonna burn this damn place down Down to the ground

For anyone who is familiar with the tune, you simply can't go wrong with that music they used to play at the Meadowlands Arena before New Jersey Devils hockey games.

The "Welcome to Hell" signs that are often seen in the stands there during the Stanley Cup playoffs would be an interesting side show.

Just for Shites and Giggles....I think the Apocalypse Now thingie is sort of Urban Legend.

Immigrant Song is hard to beat...if anyone can hear the lyrics..they are spot on.

Lucky Man...the pipes and the theme...maybe better for mop-up later.

The End .....nuff said...if the gunners are of the surreal variety.

Hells Bells.....appropriate because they will surely be ringing.

Immigrant Song is hard to beat in a mythic way and also as anyone who lives in the east north of Birmingham Alabama knows...this past winter...."we (really do) come from the land of the ice and snow"

Or even better..."Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb.." Or maybe something from the "Umma-Gumma" album...Like "Several small furry species of animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict..."

Of course this would have to be done around 2 am after we bombed them with lsd and you would need at least 4 helicopters to capture the subtilty of the quadraphonic sounds...They'd run away screaming.

Carry on my wayward son would be good, but I wonder if there is a song for the one thing Saddam's boys fear most? Whispering Death.

Not a song, but remember the line from this movie?

"At my signal....unleash hell."

"Operation Gladiator" begins in a few hours.

"Angry young Americans" by Toby Keith. Or perhaps "We are the Champions" by Queen in honour of the Brits. Maybe opening music from "2001 Space Odyssey". The options are endless!
