Title: Cool Song By The Cure
Post by: MountainMan on August 24, 2009, 02:18:05 PM

Maybe some will think this song is in bad taste, but I thought it was a bit funny and well done.  The song caused outrage during the Gulf War and The Cure was forced to abandoned it and remake it into a song that promotes love and peace with Arabs.    The song is based on a novel and in the part the man is confronted by an Arab on the beach who is armed with a knife and preparing to kill the man.  THe man has to in a quick amount of time shoot the arab before the arab kills him.  Anyhow, I thought this might be some nice music for IDF soldiers to play in the battlefield   :laugh: :laugh:   I really like the punk-rock/ middle eastern melody to the song too.

Interestingly killing arabs is the cure for the disease.

If I weren't a moderate I would say that killing Arabs is the cure for many diseases, but since I am, I won't say anything.  ;D

If the song was inspired by Albert Camus it must be sarcastic
