[Stuart Galbraith]

Dont know if this is the official video or no, but its still awesome.

All kinds of awesome:

As much as I detest our neighbours and the cheating all blacks, , I have to give some admiration to this:

 

[Stuart Galbraith]

NATO had a Hymn? Who knew?

 

 

I reckon they ought to enter it in Eurovision, just for giggles.

I wonder if Tom Leehre wrote it?

Yes they do. And they should yes.

 

 

The U.N. can into hymn too:

 

 

[Stuart Galbraith]

UN can into Eurovision! A thousand discordant voices singing as one, a guaranteed hit.

 

OK, I already posted one from Battle of Britain already, but this is an interesting one. BoB actually had 2 scored, one by Sir William Walton and the one it (mostly) retains, by Ron Goodwin. I wont go into the reasons why because there is a good description on the Wikipedia link, suffice to say one fragment of the original score remains in the Eagle Day sequence bit, which is the scene here. And its awesome. Apparently the original score is available as an option on the DVD, which I now intend to invest in.

1:39 is a bit much, so too the budgie smugglers (google it) at 2:55..........and does the British Army really miss that number of teeth? I mean these are engineers, their bridgework should be better.

They probably didnt have a Bailey Bridge in the right size I guess.

[Stuart Galbraith]

Who Dares Wins, scored by the late Roy Budd who incidentally did the theme score for 'Get Carter'.

 

 

The full score is here.

 

Successfully sustained a generation of Walts like Me all through the 1980s.

Oh, and really stretching the terms of the thread to the limit..

 

[JasonJ]

Need to get back on topic-ish.

This is Tanknet. Narrowness is impolite.

[Stuart Galbraith]

What a truly awesome video.

[Panzermann]

Aren't The professionals from CI5? That is civilians? That overstretches it not. That tears it apart.

Well Bodie was an ex Para, and a mercenary. And Doyle was Police, at that time in the 70s when it was perfectly acceptable to shoot criminals. I admit, im fudging the line here.

 

Ok, here is an attonement, the techno version of 'Das Boot'. Torpedos Looos!'

[toysoldier]

Heck yeah lets go down the rabbit hole...

[Stuart Galbraith]

Haha, thats brilliant. Its like a mashup between 'The Land that TIme Forgot' and 'Das Boot'. Not enough T Rex for my liking, but you cant have everything.

[Panzermann]

I must have a few U96 - Das Boot maxi singles here somewhere still...

 

 

the actual film music I have on vinyl.

[Stuart Galbraith]

I must watch that again.

 

Curiously enough, ive never quite been able to get into the book. Perhaps its just a mediocre translation.

[BansheeOne]

If pigs could fly, they would make videos like this.

 

 

ETA: And while we're at that ridiculous level:

I love the fact they use Marshall amplifiers. Presumably they go up to 11?

[Stuart Galbraith]

'The Eagle has Landed', this bit is the Battle of the Studley Constable.

[Panzermann]

No just normal up to 10. But they took their cues from seventies space rock and mixed it with their swedish rockpop.
