I've got to give it a "1"

"It has a terrible beat and you can't dance to it."

[Ryle]

I wonder what they played before this piece was written? The Internationale? The Coca Cola theme song?

Nope, they probably played "Imagine", that dreadful song written by one of the Beatles.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Here's their website;
The United States Air Force Band of the Rockies

Sounded like a show tune. Like bad Andrew Lloyd Webber. Is that an oxymoron?

That it is. However, I flashed back to "American Bandstand" for a moment......

[Mad Dawgg]

Good Song But Of Course you can't Sing or Play it in School anymore because it has that "Bad Word" in it!

And As far as A One World Government I have no Problems with it as Long as the US is in charge and the Rest of the countries do what we say, otherwise the leftists can leave it the way it is (Which is that the US is in charge and most of the rest of the countries do what we say!)

Is there such a thing as an AF band from the Rockies?

Thanks to Google.com:

www.bandoftherockies.com

Located at Peterson AFB in Colorado.

And we shouldn't drub the band and it's personnel/director off the bat.
This Bravo Sierra about the band making it's own arrangement of this "World Anthem"
could be the work of some Clinton-Era Suck-Up (Propaganda) Officer.

The director and the band may be doing this under "direct orders" (and with
great cognitive dissonance).
OR...the band might have been duped into this by being presented the project under
some sort of false pretense.

If there is to be some outrage, there is should be some investigation into who is
accountable for this questionable (OK, outrageous to me) move.

It could have been worse. They might have sung this song that is circulating on the internet: The Stockpile Song By: Will E. Nelson Take the flag down from its place, where it led the human race. Run up U. N. white and blue. That's what your "leaders" plan to do. They don't seem to understand, we are a freedom loving band. So spread the word across the land: stockpile weapons while you can. The public schools were first to go. They're run by leftists as you know. So school your children safe at home, free from their propaganda zone. For they don't want to understand, we are a family loving band. We'll spread the word across the land: stockpile knowledge while you can. Somewhere there near your home town, professor's robe or judge's gown, there is a leftist who must go. So lock and load and let them know. The time will come they'll understand, we are a patriotic band. We've spread the word across the land: stockpile weapons while you can.

When are "Americans" going to invade these COMMIES NEST and drive then out? I'M just asking.

No. It's a redundancy.

[socal_parrot]

You're right. I meant that. Kind of like "idiot socal_parrot".

[xp38]

Now now...don't be too hard on yourself. :)

[mhking]

I can't place it - either something from Disney World or "Up With People."

[BenLurkin]

OKAY, let's try that again:

The Stockpile Song
By: Will E. Nelson

Take the flag down from its place, where it led the human race.
Run up U. N. white and blue.
That's what your "leaders" plan to do.
They don't seem to understand, we are a freedom loving band.
So spread the word across the land:
stockpile weapons while you can.

The public schools were first to go.
They're run by leftists as you know.
So school your children safe at home,
free from their propaganda zone.
For they don't want to understand,
we are a family loving band.
We'll spread the word across the land:
stockpile knowledge while you can.

Somewhere there near your home town,
professor's robe or judge's gown,
there is a leftist who must go.
So lock and load and let them know.
The time will come they'll understand,
we are a patriotic band.
We've spread the word across the land:
stockpile weapons while you can.

Here's the first band to play the World Anthem: Nope.

My vote goes for these guys, and may the world anthem go the way of their drummer/s: [Look, those were accidents, olright? Bizarre, and freakish, yes- but still, accidents.]

[socal_parrot]

No wait...I just thought of something...It was sarcasm!...Yeah, that's it!...I'm not an idiot, just clever.

[madison10]

God is a "jealous" God and HE doesn't like the competition. :)

[InvisibleChurch]

howzabout the yoko/ono hit, O'Wind (Body Is The Scar Of Your Mind) ?

that'll show 'em

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Rightious choice...

As... like farts the song breaks like the wind. It is a load a B.S. gas.

[Salvation]

Lundt said the Fort Collins school has never played the national anthem at its graduation.

Well, if they get any money from the U. S. Government, they need to start playing the National Anthem. This is disgraceful. Maybe their precious federal $$$$$ should be taken away. Oh, I am mad.
