But other than that it rocked!

My thoughts too


Actually, Benito, his mistress, and his guards "hung around" a little while longer after they were removed from power...

Tired of ads?

quote:
Stalin Wasn't Stallin'

Stalin wasn't stallin'
When he told the beast of Berlin
That they'd never rest contented
Til they had driven him from the land
So he called the Yanks and English
And proceeded to extinguish
The Fuhrer and his vermin
This is how it all began

Now the Devil he was reading
In the good book one day
How the lord created Adam
To walk the righteous way
And it made the Devil jealous
He turned green up to his horns
And he swore by things unholy
That he'd make one of his own

So he packed two suitcases
Full of grief and misery
And he caught the midnight special
Going down to Germany
Then he mixed his lies and hatred
With fire and brimstone
Then the devil sat upon it
That's how Adolf was born

Now Adolf got the notion
That he was the master race
And he swore he'd bring new order
And put mankind in it,s place!
So he set his scheme in motion
And he was winning everywhere
Until he up and got the notion
For to kick that Russian bear

Yes he kicked that noble Russian
But it wasn't very long
Before Adolf got suspicious
The he had done something wrong
Cause that bear grabbed the Fuhrer
And gave him an awful fright
Seventeen months he scrapped the Fuhrer
Tooth and claw, day and night

Then that bear smacked the Fuhrer
With a mighty armored paw
And Adolf broke all records
Running backward towards Krakaw
The Goebbels sent a message
To the people everywhere
That if they couldn't hit the Fuhrer
Go down hit that Russian bear

(repeat verse I )

Note: Spoken (or sermonized) against a rhythm back-up
Recorded originally by the Golden Gate Quartet during WWII, when
Stalin was a Good Guy. Covered more recently by Robert Wyatt.


Just grabbed this from eMusic. Utterly hilarious.

Sweet

Though I can only claim credit for it if was people who saw this thread and then passed it around. I didn't write it, I just saw it and passed it along, just like everyone else. I don't see many links back to here or to http://www.youthrights.org so I probably can't claim too much credit, except the fact that I found it first.

Being bored, I checked the links. There are a couple of posts made on the same day as you did (at an earlier time), but other than the original I didn't find anything that really showed that this was doing the net-wide X-posting circuit before July 13th.

Well I got it from here: http://www.youthrights.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4335

He saw it from here:
http://www.cominganarchy.com/archiv...07/13/wwii-rts/

Who referred to the one here:
http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/...i?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=017765;p=0

Kuci, at the beginning of the thread went looking, and he found one here on June 21:
http://forum.maybe.net/viewtopic.ph...d69d64bc5f51df8

And here from June 18:
http://forum.thoselog.com/index.php...aded&show=&st=&

When I googled it on the 13th, I only found two other pages with it. So we definitely got in early on in the trend. But now we can just wait for it to get spread around everywhere and have a good laugh when one of our friends sends it to us 3 months later in an e-mail forward.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Quite funny!

But very American-biased. There are 2 American generals but none from the other nations. Where are Rommel, Montgomery and all the Russian generals?

And Stalin is very silent both when he gets pwnd and when he strikes back.

And the cronology is wrong. Hitler attacked Stalin before Japan attacked US, but this guy wrote it the other way around.

That's because this was an RTS game - thngs move fast there, and not neccessarily in a well arranged order
