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.

[Ben Bolt]

Ahh Kansas . I miss them . The 1st time I saw them the lead git fiddlist was wearing a tux . I loved it . And the concert too ;)

[Mudboy Slim]

"Been waitin' round for a long, long time,
To lay your soul to waste"

It HAS been a long, long wait!!

"I love NY City" - Andrew WK

I love NY City!
Oh yeah!
NY City!

[Ben Bolt]

Thats perfect .. I've been looking for something to send to the twits on icq who ask me my age , sex , and a jpeg .

Thanks .. More than I can say here ;)

[PatrioticAmerican]

Flight of the Valkyrie!

[Rainbow Rising]

A lot of great suggestions. Here are mine:

Kill It - Fight
Light Comes Out Of Black - Rob Halford (from the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" movie soundtrack)
Don't Tread On Me - Damn Yankees
Thunder And Lightning - Thin Lizzy
Just about anything from Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society

I love seeing all the Priest suggestions. How about Exciter? "Fall to your knees and repent if you please!"

[Dick Bachert]

Just something -- you know -- CLEARLY CHRISTIAN!!

Stick it right in their ears!!!!!!

[grinner]

Then there is the ever delightful... 'SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE'

[grinner]

How about... 'It's time to Party' by Andrew WK

[Noumenon]

Hey, man - blame it on the Bossa Nova. Or was that the Macarena? Damn. I forget...

[Noumenon]

How about that Babylonian Tupperware?

[gcruse]

Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love.'

[Pappy Smear]

Thunderstruck or Hells Bells by AC/DC

American Bad Ass by Kid Rock

Welcome to the Jungle by GNR

I'm also liking the Darth Vader theme. Also, I was thinking about bringing the Jock Jams CD. Just like the home team plays the tunes to get the players jacked, we could do the same to get our team jacked. "Let's get ready to rumble! Pump up the Jam! I like to move it, move it. Maybe finish up with the Chicken Dance when all is well.

"Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir!!""


An excellent choice!

Bump

[Politicalmom]

Definitely "Hit the Road, Jack". : )

[TheyConvictedOglethorpe]

Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins would be good if the song had anything to do with the title.

[ezo4]

Metalica - Battery

[jonalvy44]

That F#cken ROCKS!!!! Everyone must see it!!! Oh I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
