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

I like the words to this Welsh war song. Bag-pipes would scare em good.

A Mighty Warrior
Blondel's Song


A mighty warrior from the north
So Moslem records tell,
In all the pride of pw'r went forth,
The infidel to quell.
His lofty crest seem'd to defy,
Aught peril to be night.
As far across the spreading plain,
Loud came his battle cry,
"Strike down the foe, my fellow men,
We fight for God on High!"

Unconquer'd is the valiant sword,
Although aside 'twas laid,
When by the traitors treach'rous word,
The warrior was betray'd.
His noble heart may still defy
Aught peril to be nigh,
For soon there shall resound again,
That sacred battle cry,
"Strike down the foe, my fellow man,
Ye fight for God on High!"

"A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE"- Hank Jr.
I think another good song that would really mess with their heads is "Long Haired Country Boy" by Charlie daniels.
