Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

[IanHunedoara8]

I still kick myself for throwing out a bunch of 78's including this one

To those with qualms about the religious content, remember whom we were fighting: a militarist Empire in the Pacific which had conquered most of China and a Nazi Reich with an openly racist and ruthlessly efficient ideology. It was a defensive war, and we really were between the devil and the deep blue sea.

To those with qualms about the religious content, remen

[elvisfan22]

This song is about the 'USS New Orleans CA-32' during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The ammunition hoists did not have power making it nearly impossible to get more ammunition topside to the gun crews. The 54 lb (24 kg) shells had to be pulled up the powerless hoists by ropes attached to their metal cases. Every man with no specific job at the moment formed ammunition lines to get the shells to the guns.

[Blueslyx]

Awesome song. The lyrics and music are genius. It's one of the songs in Mafia 2, and it's also a healing song, for some reason. Praise the LORD! Thanx for posting.

I personally think associating religion with killing is rather messed up, but this song is awesome XD.

[melgibsonsballs]

@Craigomyeggo dude religion and war go hand and hand

@halfdragonhal Commie.

[halfdragonhal]

[Alexhackedone]

@halfdragonhal This was composed during WW2 when most of our enemies were godless, catholic, or whatever the hell Japan worshipped most likely Buddha.

[Craigomyeggo]

@Alexhackedone Most Germans were (and still are) Christian (which includes Catholicism, as Catholicism is a form of Christianity). The vast majority of the Japan's population incorporates elements of various religions.

[Alexhackedone]

@Craigomyeggo It was easier to pretend we were purging. except the Japanese we killed them out of sheer hate.

[Angkor0]

@Craigomyeggo A little research will show you that not only is Catholicism a form of Christianity but along with Orthodoxy the religious tradition of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which it shares) it is the oldest surviving form of Christianity. There are other forms of Christianity, protestantism in its various sects among them. It is not a good look to suggest that one is better than another.

KJV John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have told you.

[Craigomyeggo]

@Angkor0 I know that Catholicism is a form of Christianity, and I did not suggest that any one is better than the other. I'm not a Christian, and honestly don't care about the different forms of Christianity. I'm not sure what the purpose of your reply was.

[Zorskellion]

Moar liek Frank Loser....amirite?

[NovaCola6]

@Zorskellion This was produced during the 1940's, when music wasn't all bullshit like it is today with Justin Bieber and terrible remixes of good songs, this is a patriotic song, your trolling isn't worth it because this music ACTUALLY REQUIRED TALENT

[Zorskellion]

@NovaCola6 I've forgotten more about Loesser and the shows he wrote for than you'll ever know. The composition is solid, the theme is bullshit. And you're an idiot if you think that no good music is produced today. By that, I mean...you're an idiot.

[0Umbrakinetic0]

Who cares if it's 200% pro-american? It's still awesome! XD

[maggotou812]
