Cakewalk to Baghdad
Cakewalk to Baghdad
Lyrics and music by Bruce Barthol © 2003
I remember back, before we whacked Iraq
I was watching the news, were we gonna attack?
A man named Richard Perle came on and talked
He said going to Baghdad would be a cakewalk
Cakewalk to Baghdad,
Cakewalk to Baghdad
It went real easy,
Took a couple of weeks
Tore down that statue
Set those Saddamites free
The Frogs and the Krauts, they feel real bad,
They missed out cakewalkin' into Baghdad
Cakewalk to Baghdad,
Cakewalk to Baghdad
Next we're gonna cakewalk into Teheran,
Gonna cakewalk to Damascus and Pyong-yin-yang
When we strut on in,
Everybody's gonna cheer
They'll be wavin' old glory,
We'll have kegs of beer, just like that...
Cakewalk to Baghdad,
Cakewalk to Baghdad
Cakewalk to Baghdad,
Cakewalk to Baghdad
Now moms and dads don't worry 'bout
Your soldier boys and girls
We're just sending them cakewalkin'
Around the world
When the coffins come home and the flag unfurls
Cheer for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Perle
Cakewalk to Baghdad,
Cakewalk to Baghdad
Do you think we'll see those Bush boys patrollin' the streets
Like our soldiers got to do in Basram and Tikrit?
We gonna see Richard Perle cakewakin' 'round
The streets and alleys of Baghdad town?
Cakewalk to Baghdad,
Cakewalk to Baghdad
Easy to cakewalk in ... not so easy to cakewalk out.

In all honesty, I like a well thought-out and purposeful political song as it caters to my (aging) hippie ideals. I am also unhappy with our involvement with Iraq at this point. As somebody who served in Desert Storm in the early 90's I do feel entitled to an opinion and have zero problems sharing it.
But yours really lacked any redeeming value at all. And why is it here on this forum ?

I like the lyrics. I think the post should be in "Songs".

Personally I share your sentiments, but like brr suggest that the Songs Forum would be more appropriate ... it's drawing along bow to see how this is relevant to a Sonar forum.

The relevance is that the song (not mine) speaks of Cakewalk. So there is a clear connection. Its not OT. Its a post about Cakewalk. Do you see?

Actually, This is a SONAR forum. And it is still a stupid protest song... (I miss the Coffee house) The relevance is that the song (not mine) speaks of Cakewalk. So there is a clear connection. Its not OT. Its a post about Cakewalk. Do you see?

I care about the troops. I thank God for them. They are what give us the freedom to protest and whine. And they do so willingly. To protest the war is to belittle what they fight for. I assure you they don't appreciate it.

But yours really lacked any redeeming value at all. And why is it here on this forum ? Because I can. As a father of a soldier in Iraq, I am sure that my opinion does count too. I don't appreciate the protest at belittleing the troops over there. Suggesting that their lives are wasted on the effort over there is disrespectful to say the least. anyone can post their songs, I can say they are stupid. Thanks for your service to our country!

It's simple, it's one-dimensional, it's true!
Not stupid at all, but telling the ugly truth. How protesting the war would be belittling the soldiers who gave their lifes is really beyond me. It's the ideas of ignorant and arrogant so-called leaders that is stupid in the first place - and it's NOT about freedom and democracy. It's very very sad, but those lifes ARE wasted!

Yes, it seems to be. Mocking their service and sacrifice is belittling. I think the song is stupid still... How protesting the war would be belittling the soldiers who gave their lifes is really beyond me.

Mocking their service and sacrifice is belittling. I can't see the mocking other than mocking those morons who sent the soldiers to hell for NOTHING - and probably will do so again. But this could be just me... Yes, the tone is very sarcastic, it's the type of text that sticks in your gorge. You can't swallow it and you can't spit it out either. It just sticks there and burns like hell - the truth hurts. I think the song is stupid still... This is your right. But then many songs from the 60's would be too, no?

You have a couple of incorrect assumptions: 1. All soiders who die go to hell 2. That the lyrics actually get past the taste buds <g> yes, I don't agree with the hippie counter culture protest songs. Even to this day, I change the channel when they come on. But then I am a Dream theater listening kind of guy anyhoo. You ever bother to ask an Iraqi if they appreciate the freedom from Saddam? (spellcheck saddam for grins) Most are very happy we are over there and doing what we are doing to secure their freedom. A lot of it doesn't make mainstream news. Most of the Iraqis appreciate us being over there. It is a mess I'll give you that much. But, we should support the troops and commanders who are running the show and then play armchair general when the mission is over. You can't swallow it and you can't spit it out either.

I will say that these debates have become kind of pointless IMHO. The Christian right and other warmongering anti-Life forces will always argue that war and killing is good ... Humanists and humanitarians will always say that war and killing is bad. Ne'er the twain shall meet, so why not just agree to disagree?

The point of war protests or war protest songs is not about the 2000 soldiers that have died already, its about the next 2000 that will die if we don't get them out of there.
That is why we resist the war. In hopes that a couple of years from now we won't be arguing over whats disrespectful to the 4000 soldiers that have died in Iraq.

For me, it's more about the 25,000 or so civilians who have died as a direct result of military action, and the many others who will suffer or die due to the aftermath of war. In addition to the soldiers who have been wounded or died. But you're right - it's as much about the future as those who have already suffered. Cheers Alastair

There are plenty on the Christian right who do not like war. If you like war, there is something wrong with you. I was not debating. I was stating my view. No debate because I know I am right. That song is still stupid. Humanists have one ultimate destination...
