Article in the May 27th San Francisco Chronicle ("Band gives Baghdad a pounding") about a death-metal group in Baghdad called A. Crassicaud. Their lyrics are all in English. When Saddam was in power, they had to write a song praising him, so this is what they came up with:
Follow the leader
Saddam Hussein
He'll make them fall
Drive them insane
This little masterpiece is called "Youth in Iraq".
("'Damn, I'm really mad we can't sing that song anymore,' says Talal [the lead singer]. 'It was our best song. The chorus was too much, it was great.'")
I wish them luck.
