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.

At the risk of being politically incorrect, how about "The Boys Are Back in Town"?

This Ain't No Rag Its A Flag - Charlie Daniels Band

[OOPisforLiberals]

"Revelation" - Manowar.

Above the wreckage of your mortal world I stand
Judgement passed, delivered by his hand.
Now clear the smoke, there the ashes stand.
A fitting tribute to mortality and man.

What was written, foretold in dreams
In visions, upon lips now seen.
And all self-righteous fools who lived and blasphemed.
Drink the wine of his anger!

Die with the beast.
----

Actually, now that I think of it : any Manowar song.

Metallica - Don't Tread On Me

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
never begins it, never, but once engaged...
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
shining with brightness, always on surveillance
the eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war

liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
once you provoke her, rattling on her tail

so be it
threaten no more
to secure peace is to prepare for war
so be it
settle the score
touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore...

don't tread on me

Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir!!"

I'd be partial to Levee by Zep or maybe a reworded Sympathy for the Devil

we're the men whose steel you'll taste,
Been waitin' round for a long, long time, to
Lay your soul to waste"
