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.

Thanks for posting the words. I was an Armored Cavalryman back in the 70's (1970's...not 1870's!) and never heard the words. Love the tune!

I second that, and add to it Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London, and The Envoy!

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? 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!!
