Earlier today on the Laura Ingraham Show I heard the song from the Hizballah "boy band" ode to Nasrallah that Michelle Malkin posted the lyrics for:
I hail thee, hawk of Lebanon
I welcome thee, Hassan Nasrallah
Here are your men, Hezbollah
Victory, victory with the help of God.
Nasrallah, this brave person
Let me get this straight. Nasrallah who when the fighting started ran to Damascus and was reported being seen wearing civilian clothes instead of his normal clerical garb is being touted as a brave person? The boy band is called Northern Band. I guess Suicidal Tendencies was already taken.
I think that this is just more proof that parts of the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail can be used in many political situations. In fact when I read the lyrics these are the lyrics that I thought of.
The song starts off
Bravely bold Sir Robin
Brought forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh, brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.
But changes after Sir Robin runs away from the dreaded Three Headed Knight.
| Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away away…. When Danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly chickened out.. Bravely bravely bravely bravely |
No! I didn’t! No!
I never did! |
Brave Nasrallah ran away.
Bravely ran away away….

Brave enough when he isn’t in harms way.
He was not in the least bit scared
to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out,
and his elbows broken,
To have his kneecaps split,
and his body burned away,
and his legs will have to mangle brave Sir Robin…
(sorry. had to)

This film is getting more and more appropriate in this day and age. (The best part here is where BraveSirRobin keeps vainly trying to protest.) Too bad Monty Python couldn’t do the film version of Dan Brown!
I think if the Monty Python troupe produced (and starred in) the Dumb Winky Code, it would have been so funny that no one in the world would even think of taking it seriously.

Funny post, but give the band a little slack- Patriotic “rebel music” is a genre full of bluster and manly fist-shaking, and is best suited to the young and naively political. If I couldn’t tolerate this sort of music, along with the better sort, I’d never be able to listen to any of my Wolfe Tones albums. 😉
Still, it is kinda funny that they exalted the guy who ran away, for the sole reason that he’s an important leader. Seriously, they couldn’t be bothered to give tribute to the Hizballah fighters getting shot at on the ground?
