A "Dogfight" Playlist!
Mornin', all!
Last "dogfight" at my house, I prepared a Second World War playlist from music available online. Here were some of the songs included:
-Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" (Wagner was sometimes actually into the headsets of German pilots, I understand)
- "Comin' in, On A Wing And A Prayer"
-The Soviet anthem
-A Soviet military song called "The Uncle Nitwit"
- The "Stukalied" and, for good measure, the "Fallschirmjagerlied"
- "Columbia, The Gem of the Ocean" (a largely-lost, patriotic American song, once as popular as "God Bless America" today)
- Instrumentals of "Gary Owen" and "Hearts of Oak"
- "Remember Pearl Harbor"
- "The Girl I Left Behind Me"
-"Somebody Else Has Taken My Place" (swing ballad)
-An incredibly politically-incorrect blues song called "Uncle Sam, Come And Get Him"
- And, of course, "Lili Marlene" (the Marlene Dietrich version)
I believe it is courteous to provide guests with appropriate music by which to shoot me down (or, alternatively, to be shot down by). Any great suggestions for next time?
I noticed that Amazon has sound effect albums too, including engine and explosion noises, but I think for now music will do.
