And Miss Mary Mack.
To be sung to Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs”
Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death’s construction.
In the fields the pigs are burning,
as the elephants keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their Roman minds.
Oh lord, yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the pigs, yeah.
Time will tell on their power minds,
making war just for fun.
Throwing pigs just like projectiles, yes,
wait till their judgement day comes, yeah.
Now in darkness world stops turning,
ashes where the pigs are burning.
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement, God is calling,
on their knees the war pigs crawling.
Begging mercies for their sins,
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings.
Oh lord, yeah!
(With apologies.)
I always thought they were saying “Whoa! Log jam!” Not sure how that applies to flaming pigs, however.
I’m surprised no one has yet applied the German naming scheme to the fullest extent possible. My German’s a little rusty, but wouldn’t it be something like Schreienflugenflammenschwein? Perhaps the word order should be rearranged to properly indicate the relative importance of terms, and it’s highly possible that schreien isn’t the best word for the job. In any case, the name alone has me rather perturbed. Just the thought that someone might attack me with their schreienflugenflammenschwein…
hiebram: I agree. Just about anything military related sounds more kick-ass in German.
Just take the WAR. It’s kind of round, and soft. Lacks substance.
But KRIEG. Hard. It’s got edges you can hide behind and shoot at other people.
js_africanus:
The “log jam” is in your ass when the Flammendschwein are “INCOMING!” :eek:
Oh, wow . . . DocCathode, will you marry me? I’ll convert.
:: looks down ::
Though it will involve some modification of Little Excalibre.
Yeah, I don’t know why it’s funnier when it’s rhyming, but that was hilarious. All the songs were good. This is, what, a three-song thread, now. Can anyone make it four?
For Those About To Burn
(Sung to the tune of AC/DC’s For Those About To Rock)
We roll tonight (We fight tonight)
With the ballistae set right
Yeah, yeah, oh
Stand up and be counted
For you are about to go “Squeeeeee”
We are the Romans
We’ll give you everything you need
Hail hail to the porcine
’cause Hannibal’s comin’ straight away
We’re all set, and we know how
To turn those elephants away
For those about to burn, we salute you
For those about to burn, we salute you
We douse the pigs with the hot tar
And load 'em in the ballistae
The sky’s alight with the porcine flight
Hogs will burn and scream tonight
For those about to burn, we salute you
For those about to burn, we salute you
For those about to burn, we salute you
Yes we do
For those about to burn, we salute you
Oooh, yeah
Oooh, ooooh yeah
We’re just artillery for hire with some porcine fire
Ready and aimed at you
Pick up your hogs and load up your carts
For a twenty-one pig salute
For those about to burn (fire)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
We salute you
For those about to burn, we salute you
Those about to burn (fire)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
We salute you
Fire
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
We salute you
Come on, whooa
For those about to burn, we salute you
For those about to burn, we salute you
For those about to burn, we salute you
For those about to burn, we salute you
Fire

We salute you
For those of you, for those who fly, for those who die,
Yeah
(ain’t gonna get tired, won’t take a break, we salute you.)
We salute you
We salute you
Fire
SQUEEE!!!
Not if you’re willing to sqeeeeeal like a Flaming Piggie.
sniff I love this thread.
Just a thought. Don’t you have to lob the pigs gently enough to allow them to run around squealing after landing? Just the squeals while they’re in the air doesn’t seem very efficient. You want to maximize your squeal to lob ratio.
My German is pretty much made up as I go along, so I doubt this is right but since I’m bored. I’ll throw in some more 
Elefantschreck MK1 -Schwein = Pig
Elefantschreck Mk2 -Schreienschwein = Squealing pig
Elefantschreck Mk3 -Schreienflammenschwein = squealing flamming pig
Elefantschreck MK4 -Schreienflugenflammenschwien = squealing flying flamming pig
Elefantschreck MK4 -Raketenschreienflugenflammenschwein = Rocket-powered squealing flying flamming pig
Elefantschreck Mk5 -machinenraketenschreienflugenflammenschwienbüchse = repeating Rocket-powered squealing flying flamming pig gun
Okay I’ll stop now.
“Take me home and shoot me with a flaming flying squealing pig.”
“Shoot me with a flaming flying squealing pig NOW!”
I would think this would be an effective weapon of deterrence in the War on Terror…
The Horror…The Horror…
the best way to launch animals with spectacular effects is to fire a pig/goat out of the ejection seat of a U-2 spyplane. the heat from re-entry would surely ensure a flaming pig, with potential orbital possiblities.
Men load trebuchets,
Burning death will fill the skies,
Put match to the pigs!
[Muppets] Flaming Pigs in Spaaaaace![/Muppets]
As God is my witness, I thought flaming pigs could fly
