That's it. Interesting.

UPDATE: Could the e-mail be from these intrepid musicians?

(Thanks to the comment from reader Tmarcell - It's actually pretty catchy - and it does sound like a slow motion version of Cum on Feel the Noize!)

Bridge for Peace?

Let's compare:

Cum on feel The Noize (scroll a third of the page down and listen to the sample track)

vs.

Bridge for Peace

Good ear!

Lyrics:

The President wants a war
The President wants a war
Oh Lord, got to get it together
The President wants a war

Congress wants a war
Congress wants a war
Oh Lord, got to get it together
Congress wants a war

The diplomats want a war
Yeah, the diplomats want a war
Oh Lord, got to get it together
'Cause the diplomats want a war

We can build a bridge for peace
Instead of aiming to destroy
Schools and farms and helping hands
Are a cause for joy!
Joy, joy, joy!

We don't want a war
No, we don't want a war
Oh Lord, got to get it together
'Cause we don't want a war.

Wow.

I wrote my own version:

Saddam Hussein wants a war
Saddam Hussein wants a war
Oh Lord, got to get it together
Saddam Hussein wants a war

Qusay wants a war
Qusay wants a war
Oh Lord, got to get it together
Qusay wants a war

The Mukhbarat wants a war
Yeah, the Mukhbarat wants a war
Oh Lord, got to get it together
'Cause the Mukhbarat wants a war

We can build a JDAM for peace
Instead of letting them destroy
Because
35 mustard and sarin gas shells, systematic rape as a political tool, genocide, beheadings and torture
Are not a cause for joy!
Joy, joy, joy!

Hmmmm ... I guess that my talking points don't quite make for as smooth of a rhyme, huh?

Juding from their song (http://www.bridgeforpeace.com/enter.html) and Mr. French's resume (http://www.peacecalgary.ca/view.php?id=0-6209) I would feel less fearful than I would sleepy. Seriously. Listen to the song touted on their site. Soporific socialism at its most numbing. Most disturbing of all, the song's verse sounds exactly like a slowed down version of "Cum on Feel the Noize"--I'm not kidding.

Duh - I didn't think of looking at "bridgeforpeace.com," because it's a hotmail address. I thought that it might be Mr. Berg.

Thanks for the h/t! Their link to International A.N.S.W.E.R. probably indicates why they were a little rankled by you. Ok, the song was minimally catchy, but go back for the Hip-Hop version! No Blood for Oil, Daaaawg!
