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.

"Some Heads Are Gonna Roll" by Judas Priest
You can look to the left and
Look to the right
But you will live in danger tonite
When the enemy comes he will
Never be heard
He'll blow your mind and not say a word
Blinding lights--flashing colors
Sleepless nights
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll

Motorhead,
Play The GameIt's all about the game, and how you play it.
All about control, and if you can take it.
All about yor debt, and if you can pay it.
It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it...
I am the game, you don't wanna play me
I am control, no way you change me
I am have heavy debts, no way you can pay me
I am the pain, and I know you can't take me
Look over your shoulder, ready to run
Like a good little bitch from a smoking gun
I am the game, and I make the rules
So move on out, and you can die like a fool
Try and figure out what news is gonna be
Come on over sucker, why don't you ask me?
Don't forget there's a place you can pay
Cuz I am the game and I want to play
It's time to play the game...
Hahahaha
Time to play the game
It's all about the game, and how you play it
It's all about control, and if you can take it
It's all about your debt, and if you can pay it
It's all about the pain, and who's gonna make it...
I am the game, you don't wanna play me
I am control, there's no way you can change me
I am your debts, and no you can't pay me
I am your pain, and I know you can't take me
Play the game, you're gonna be the same
You're gonna change your name, you're gonna die in flames
Hahahahaha
Time to play the game!
It's time to play the game...
It's time to play the game...
It's time to paly the game...
Hahahahaha
Time to play the game!
Hahahahaha

When the liberation begins, they should blast the theme song.. nothing sounds quite as impressive.... (and let it be played by the UTexas band)
I've got the original soundtrack playing right now, as my dedication to Chancellor Palpatine and MadIvan

God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood
To: Mat_Helm
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day....
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way....
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw....
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw....
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel...
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel...
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky...
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry....
Yippie yi Ohhhhh!
Yippie yi Ayyyyy!
Ghost Riders in the sky!
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet....
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky...
On horses snorting fire....
As they ride on hear their cry...
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name...
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range,
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride,
Trying to catch the Devil's Herd, across these endless skies...
Yippie yi Ohhhhh!
Yippie yi Ayyyyy!
Ghost Riders in the sky!
Ghost Riders in the sky!
Ghost Riders in the sky!

"The End" by the Doors is little too sleepy sounding for battle music.
I nominate Gustav Holst. Mars Bringer of War.
