Israel Defense Force Launches YouTube Channel

The Israel Defense Force has launched a channel on YouTube. It shows video clips of their action against Hamas.

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit is the Israel Defense Forces' professional body responsible for media and public relations in Israel and around the world.

I think this is a very interesting site to visit. It shows the public action that is sorely overlooked in the mainstream media.

Below is the most recent clip. It was posted yesterday (December 31, 2008) along with the description provided by the ISF.

The Israel Air Force launches a precision strike against weapons hidden in a
Gaza mosque on 31 Dec 2008. Secondary explosions caused by the ignition of the weapons cache prove the cynical use of a place of worship as a military site. Hamas uses its citizens as human shields and exploits religion in its brutal campaign against innocent civilians.

"This is only the beginning. We are operating now for exactly what we have said from the start, and nothing has changed, to deal Hamas a heavy blow. It has already been wounded." - Matan Vilnai-Israeli Deputy Defence Minister

Real Men of Genius Commercial #1

I was surfing YouTube this evening/morning and came across some commercials. I absolutely love well done, funny commercials. As you know, I posted all the Super Bowl Commercials from this year's game on thsi forum.

Below is a funny, funny one. Yes I know it is sophomoric humor but I really LMAO at this commercial. I bet we have ALL be in this situation (the one who notices the strange odor, of course)

I will post more "Real Men of Genius" commercials as I find them. Enjoy!

Here is the original video of "Money for Nothing" by "Dire Straits."

Enjoy!

"Weird" Al Yankovic's Beverly Hillbillies

I always thought "Weird" Al Yankovic was so talented. I loved it when he took a popular song and rewrote it in his own words. Below is one he did on one my favorite television shows of my youth.

Sit back and enjoy.



"Well doggies!" - Jed Clampett

Ides of March: "Vehicle"

I have been recently posting old music videos from my youth. A fellow blogger "Law and Order Teacher," whose blog I read daily and respect immensely, has been doing the same. He recently posted a video from The Ides of March preforming their song "Vehicle."

I have posted a similar clip of them preforming it during their heyday. I want to thank Law and Order Teacher for reminding me of the group.

Sit back and enjoy.

"I'm your vehicle, baby. I'll take you anywhere you want to go." - Lyrics from the song "Vehicle" by The Ides of March.

Caveman: The Invention of Music

Again, I am sitting around on a Friday evening; the television on, my loyal dog at my feet, and I am surfing the net.

I came across this video on YouTube tonight. It is from the movie Caveman with Ringo Staff and Shelly Long.

I call it Caveman: The Invention of Music. It is very funny. (watch the part where they put the old man's hand near the fire)

Sit back and as always, enjoy and sing along. The words are very simple.

La la, la la la La la, la la la La la la La la la la La (repeat as much as you need to)

The Shocking Blue: "Venus"

Here is another video I found on YouTube. I loved this song as a youth. It is great to find it in video form and to enjoy it again.

The song is "Venus" as performed by "The Shocking Blue." As always, sit back, enjoy and sing along (if you must). I always do.

Have fun.



A Goddess on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
The summit of Beauty in love
And Venus was her name

She's got it yeah, Baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire

Her weapon were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!

She's got it yeah, Baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire

[Aaaahhhhh with instrumental break]

She's got it yeah, Baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire at your desire

PS: They don't make songs like this any more.

“Venus, a beautiful, good-natured lady, was the goddess of love; Juno, a terrible shrew, the goddess of marriage; and they were always mortal enemies” - Jonathan Swift

Men at Work: "Land Down Under"

I have been watching old music videos on YouTube lately. I found the original video of Men at Work performing their song "Land Down Under." I have supplies the lyrics below. watch, listen and sing along. Enjoy.



Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said...

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover"

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said...

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover"
Yeah

Lyin' in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said...

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Living in a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

The March of Cambreadth

I found this video in a round about way and think it is great. It was originally posted on YouTube by a person posting as moombean51287.

Listen to the lyics and sing along. The song is by Heather Alexander and is titled “The March of Cambreadth.” I am going to have to check out more of this Celtic music.

This song, its lyrics, and the video are top notch. This song would make a great battle hymn for the War on Terror.

Imagine the "low life terrorists" in Iraq and Afghanistan hearing this song as an M1 Abrams or Humvees, armored with weapons to bear, rolled towards them. They would crap in their robes.

Axes flash, broadsword swing,
Shining armour's piercing ring
Horses run with a polished shield,
Fight Those Bastards till They Yield
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Follow orders as you're told,
Make Their Yellow Blood Run Cold
Fight until you die or drop,
A Force Like Ours is Hard to Stop
Close your mind to stress and pain,
Fight till You're No Longer Sane
Let not one damn cur pass by,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Guard your women and children well,
Send These Bastards Back to Hell
We'll teach them the ways of war,
They Won't Come Here Any More
Use your shield and use your head,
Fight till Every One is Dead
Raise the flag up to the sky,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Dawn has broke, the time has come,
Move Your Feet to a Marching Drum
We'll win the war and pay the toll,
We'll Fight as One in Heart and Soul
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,

How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
Axes flash, broadsword swing,
Shining armour's piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield,
Fight Those Bastards till They Yield
Midnight mare and blood red roan,
Fight to Keep this Land Your Own
Sound the horn and call the cry,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!
