Sorry, but the one that has brought the biggest smile to my face was "The Girl from Ipanema". Can't stop laughing every time I think of the choppers going in with retro lounge music playing. Perhaps our Marines and soldiers should pack in cocktail shakers, dinner jackets, and cigarette cases to accompany the music selection for their victory celebration?

"Girl from Ipanema, The"
Writer(s): Jobim/Gimbel/DeMoraes


Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh

(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)

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

You're right, it is hysterical to think of a bunch of Marines dressed like Heff or Dean Martin! I think right after The Girl From Ipanema" they ought to play the Dating Game theme. It could be part of PsyOps. They'll want to surrender once they realize that song is NEVER going to leave thier head!! LOL!!
