The Bard's Breath: AC/DC Parody

By Joe Katzman on April 10, 2003 3:14 PM | 1 Comment

"The Bard's Breath" is a Winds of Change.NET feature bringing you art, quotes and verse related to our times every Tuesday and Thursday. We all need a bit more than just news to make it through what's coming next: Spirit. Perspective. Faith. Humour. Reminders of humanity, and horror, and the shape of true victory.

This one comes from anti-war blogger Tatiana of Russian Beauty. Her March 31 entry (the blog lacks permalinks) features "Big Bombs," a very funny parody of everyone's favorite metalheads AC/DC. Though it's intended as an anti-war song, I for one love it as a war anthem of victory. With her husband Sean-Paul noting that the USA is now shipping its 21,000 lb. MOABs into theater, it seemed utterly appropriate today:

"Well I'm upper upper upper class society
God's gift to war room notoriety
And I always fill the war room
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got the biggest bombs of all...."
If you've got the connection for it, go listen to the whole song (MP3, 2.8 MB).

Why do I think it might suck to be in Tikrit shortly? All together now: 'CAUSE WE'VE GOT THE BIGGEST BOMBS OF THEM ALL!

Folks, I ran this because it's funny. Tatiana has her own blog, and was not responsible for anything her husband The Agonist may have done.

As for the reference to the Agonist's MOAB update, well, that's where I found the information. I wasn't going to lie about that - I think we all got a demonstration of why that's wrong recently, yes? More on my overall policy re: The Agonist, and why, here.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
