| Today's KCNA magic phrase: "revolutionary army song". Pyongyang, February 24 (KCNA) -- The chorus suit "Long trip for army-based leadership" produced by the merited chorus of the Korean People's Army is a revolutionary army song in the era of the army-based policy as it grips the hearts of all the servicemen of the KPA and people, says Rodong Sinmun today in an editorial. It calls for advancing with redoubled courage, singing the song more loudly. It goes on: The louder you sing, the less you'll think about starvation. The vitality of the revolutionary army song representing the idea and politics of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il was fully demonstrated in the period of the "arduous march," the forced march. What in hell is the "arduous march"?
Yes, I would be mortally terrified by a song. I hope our boys are ready if they come down the road singing. It is necessary to follow Kim Jong Il and share intention and will and feelings with him, loudly singing the revolutionary army song representing his idea and will, courage and pluck and confidence of sure victory and rich emotion. And if you don't, we have a nice camp for you to go to. The Korean people should certainly emerge victorious in the life-and-death struggle against the imperialists. It is the revolutionary army song they should sing loudly in the confrontation. Once the imperialists come in attack to stifle the DPRK by force the ten million people and servicepersons should become human bombs to crush them and the further they escalate their economic blockade and pressure upon it, the more loudly the whole country will resound with the revolutionary army song replete with the firm faith of sure victory and optimism.We should carry on the staunch struggle along the road of the army-based revolution, sonorously singing this song. I think Rodung Sinmun might be overstating the power of this ditty just a little bit.
Wow. I wonder how many NK's buy into this craziness? | ||

| #7 boiled? grass, mailbox?.... you're a cruel man, YankinParis. I think you and tu3031 should get together and compose the B side "Jong II Peak Medley"... you guys could make it an arduous "March" by writing it in triple meter. ;) |

| #5 An "arduous march" is what your morning walk down the mailbox becomes when you've eaten nothing but boiled grass for the last year. |

| #4 You want B side's? Here's a bunch from last week in KCNA: "Thunder on Jong Il Peak", "Jong Il Peak is the Most Sublime", "Jong Il Peak in Morning," "Thick Forest around Jong Il Peak," 'Glow on Jong Il Peak" and other songs depict Kim Jong Il as the illustrious commander born of heaven endowed with the spirit of Mt. Paektu. "Pledge made looking up to Jong Il Peak," "I will learn from you, Jong Il Peak," "Blizzard on Jong Il Peak," "Live with Jong Il Peak in mind" and other songs represent the Korean people's firm determination to make a long journey of revolution as comrades true to the army-based revolutionary leadership of the brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu. |

| #3 Well, if the NKors can't offer a B side song, they can use "It's a Long Way to Tipperary". It is a good song and gets the blood flowing, and if side A is a bust, side B could carry the day. |
