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.

Let The Bodies Hit The Floor (edited video version-click)

Oldie, but goodie

[4evernewlywed]

although it might not be the most "rockin'" song posted so far, it just had to be mentioned...

"Proud to be an American"

[Fiddlstix]

"Ride of the Valkyries" works for me

Me Too!

[TheBigB]

[Dutchgirl]

I thought the Brits were covered with "Another one Bites the Dust, but your selection was nice. What language are they singing and can you translate it for me...but series...how about "With Catlike Tread?" as an alternative.

Damn....How could I forget POWDERFINGER!!

Geez....

[Bella_Bru]

Excellent choice!

[Gamecock]

Wouldn't it be cool of the POTUS said that live tonight!

I couldnt agree more. Just about anything from TCM would be great to attack with. I am surprised it took this many posts to mention it.

You must be one awsome Bunny . . Thank You P_Bunny !

Got a link to a midi version?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

That one is the top of my list. The second one was Nazareth - "Now you're messing with a Son of a Bitch"

[ShandaLear]

"Love Gun" by KISS

[SENTINEL]

"Ride of the Valkyries"

O Fortuna is better.

[null and void]

Gonna put my face on a nuclear bomb - Mojo Nixon/Skid Roper

[lawgirl]

The Bitch is Back.

[disgustedvet]

Oh, this is an easy one.

War Pigs, by Black Sabbath. Yep. No doubt about it. The ultimate mission prep song.

Sorry to be a ninny but I learned that reality the same way...a FReeper corrected me a few years ago.

I had an electrical catheter study done on my heart about 20 years ago for a congenital arrythmia and while I was on the table doped on Versed and they were running wires up my femoral vein headed towards my ticker on the screen....guess what the Docs turned on the boombox (at Johns Hopkins)...."Ride of the Valkyries"....I started laughing so hard they had to goose up the Versed and off I went into the great unknown briefly.

"Break Stuff" Limp Bizkit

[nvagvup]

Dandy Don Merideth's rendition of "Turn Out The Lights, The Party's Over"

[LizardQueen]

or some of the "Carmina Burana"

So far I like Rock the Casbah and Burning Down the House the best.
Blondie's "Die Young, Stay Pretty" also crossed my mind, for the Republican Guard, not our guys....
