This is just American right wing conservatives subjecting children to violent battle experiences via film to train them for the wars with China, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, and anyone else who isn't American.
I forgot all about this song until I saw this video...first heard it at a summer Bible camp put on at my school when I was a 3rd grader. terrible then, terrible now.
This song was extremely popular in my (fairly liberal Methodist) Sunday school when I was a kid. It's probably fallen out of favor since then though....

ReplyDeleteThis truly is terrible!
It's not going to work. Kids love the Hamburglar.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I knew the Nightmare remake would be terrible.`
ReplyDeleteCrap...there's already been a Hamburglar AND a Nightmare on Elm Street reference! So...I got nothing...
ReplyDeleteThe horror...the horror...
Wow, I just had flashbacks to that as a kid. I knew something was wrong........even then. It's all just so strange now.
ReplyDeleteWe love our war songs but Burl Ives did it better with Goober Peas.
ReplyDeletePeas, peas, peas, peas eatin' goober peas! The Georgia militia, eatin' goober peas!
This video brought to you by Chick-Fil-A...fast food from God fearing Christians...not satanic worshiping characters from McDonald's.
ReplyDeleteI was going to write something witty, but this horrible song is now so firmly lodged in my wee brain that I am powerless to summon any more words.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered what Philip K Dick's acid trip was ACTUALLY like. The Empire never ended... #nudoknowthat

ReplyDeleteI feel like this should be required viewing at the White House of the Confederacy.
ReplyDeleteCan I register as a conscientious objector to the lord's army?
ReplyDeleteWait. He becomes a Roman soldier? Didn't they kill Jesus? Oh, never mind, that was the Interplanetary Confederationists.
ReplyDeleteThey've been keeping his memory half-undead but disconnected from reality for centuries now. Kinda like in that one movie, I think it was Misery...
ReplyDeleteAh, I see...they're depicting the epic struggle of the Roman Empire against the hordes of McDonaldland.
ReplyDeletemy roommate says she had to sing this song when she was in lutheran school. awky
ReplyDeleteChristian Romans.
ReplyDeleteWait.
Besides the creepy crusades reference... Is it just me, or is there something deeply ironic about being a "Roman Soldier" then "The Lords Army".
ReplyDeleteHe's in the Lord's army
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, this is from a Saturday morning Christian program called Gospel Bill. Utter crap.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how I imagined it would be like to be in a real battle.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that he reminded me of Gomer Pyle from Full Metal Jacket?
ReplyDeleteThat Roman soldier get up really does it for me.
ReplyDeleteBig Brother would never lie, Oceania has always been at war with the Hamburglar!
ReplyDeleteyou gotta give them credit for their explosions!
ReplyDeletemore importantly though... i'd hit that.

ReplyDeleteI also sang this and we had gestures that usually accelerated into little boy wrestling and therefore extra-long "quiet times".
ReplyDeletenot sure why he hates Hosni Mubarak so much... just prescience?
don't put it on!!
ReplyDeleteUgh. I used to have to watch Gospel Bill as a kid. Re-watching it now makes me vomit a little in the back of my throat.
ReplyDelete*the Bible turns into a sword*
ReplyDeletewow, that's some pretty great unintentional satire
I had forgotten about this song until I clicked on this link. I flashed back to Church camp as a child. *shudders
ReplyDeleteOh. God.
