Warning! I'm in song parody mode again  
So, what do you get when you put a classic American song like "Ballad of the Green Berets" into the hands (and brain) of a Gundam SEED fan like me?

Well, "The Ballad of the Elite Reds" of course.


THE BALLAD OF THE ELITE REDS (sung to the tune of the Ballad of the Green Berets; original song is available here)

Fighting soldiers in the sky
Fearless men who launch and die
Men who'll fight where others fled
The brave men in the elite's red

Mobile suits to help their quest
These are men, the colonies' best
One hundred men will test as said
But only five, win the elite's red

Trained to save their motherland
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight in a war that spread
Pilots dressed in the elite's red

Mobile suits to help their quest
These are men, the colonies' best
One hundred men will test as said
But only five, win the elite's red

Back at base, the others wait
Their true comrade, has met his fate
He has died in great distress
Leaving them his last request
Tell my mum, I did my best
Promise me, you'll never rest
You'll be the ones, be true and bold
Who'll make us live in a peaceful world

I've missed there!

Somehow, this melody combined with Gundam Seed is very amusing. XD

It was just that when I heard the "real" song I just knew I had to do something with it.

(Och egentligen ska alltihop från början skyllas på den svenska versionen som jag råkade hitta på ett gammalt kassettband. Med textrader som "men i sken från en handgranat, i basker blå, stod en svensk soldat" kan man inte annat än inspireras ^^; )
