War songs! Good tunes that unite people against a common foe. Even the overture of 1812 is stirring stuff!
World war Two?
"There'll be blue birds over, the white cliffs of Dover..."
"Long way to Tipperary"
etc. Whistling, marching feel good as you stand shoulder to shoulder to fight the Germans, the Japs, or whoever it is that's doin humanity wrong!
It's why the Germans never won. They had crappy songs. Can't exactly march along to beer barrel polka tunes.
And although the songs during the Vietnam era were good, you can't exactly feel united and honorably "fighty" while marchin' along to "heard it through the grapevine" or Jimmi Hendrix.
And that's prolly why we lost that one. Bad tunes.
Going to lose the Iraq war too.
Too much heavy metal. And country and western doesn't exactly cut it either. Not exactly feel good as you march along stuff....
What we need is good honest feel good fightin' music.
