I love it, a song about a guy asking his possibly ex-girlfriend to show whether she still wants him or not *because he's been away in PRISON* was used in "Gulf War I" to show support for troops etc etc. Personally, I think people could be more original and more sensitive to the lyrics :-) |

Well, there's alwasy the foxtrot based on the "Le Parapluie de Cherbourg" theme... it's got it all - easy war that turns into a colonial quagmire, girlfriend who (despite the lyrics) doesn't wait, etc...

The waltz theme from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg? The swing version of "Over There"? Gelnn Miller's "American Patrol"? Or even just something generally 40's that captures the mood. Doesn't have to be patriotic: "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree"? Dinah Shore - "Love That Boy" Listen here: |

Details. 
Did you know that this tradition actually started way back in the olden days? Women would wear ribbons while their men were off to war. Each branch of service had its own color, but eventually everyone started wearing the cavalry's color of yellow. |

"Holding Out For A Hero" was actually Bonnie Tyler.
Yep, that's the song that I was thinking about. Thanks Joe and Laura.....  |
