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.

[GraniteStateConservative]

You stole my idea!

[MindBender26]

It's Maresie Doats
and Doesie Doats
and Little Lambsidivie
I think Saddamlldie soon
Don't a You!

Something by Barbra Streisand, just because it would infuriate her.

ROCK THE CASBAH - The Clash


Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The shiek he drove his Cadillac
He went a' cruisnin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille
CHORUS
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that craazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail
CHORUS
Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a wiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive
CHORUS
The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better eaarn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way
As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed
CHORUS
He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it.
You know he really hates it.

"Flight of the valkyrie"

[Gamecock]

Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed
But join with me, each jovial blade
Come, drink and sing and lend your aid
To help me with the chorus:

Chorus
Instead of spa, we'll drink brown ale
And pay the reckoning on the nail;
No man for debt shall go to jail
From Garryowen in glory.

We'll beat the bailiffs out of fun,
We'll make the mayor and sheriffs run
We are the boys no man dares dun
If he regards a whole skin.

Chorus

Our hearts so stout have got no fame
For soon 'tis known from whence we came
Where'er we go they fear the name
Of Garryowen in glory.
Chorus

"The Girl From Ipanema"

Thanks. I needed that one running through my head. Funny though.

[NYer]

They're Coming To Take Me Away .. HaaHa
Dr. Demento's Delights.

Naturally this would be sung by Sadam as he watches the first wave of infantry.

Hey, amigo, you just won "Line-o'-the-Day" here on FR!

Just for that, I won't recommend Mr. Rogers' "Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood," like I was gonna...

I am extremely eclectic when it comes to music and no song quite reaches the aggro level of "What's My Name" by the Rapper DMX.

DMX is not for the feint of heart. Bad words and violent imagery , i would say it is rated X. so if you think Pat Boone is too racy don't check it out.

It may be that Pink Floyd would be appropriate. For example, "Is There Any Body Out There?"

[baraboolaw]

Anything by the Dixie Chicks!

This won't work but I gotta say it .........FREEBIRD!

Why wouldn't that work? IMHO, it would work great.
