BOB Battle Hymn

[Shanker420]

I used to have this song set as my "victory song" for the Allies in Day of Defeat back before Source. Band of Brothers custom material went so well into that game.

[SetThisBallroomAglow]

I always appreciated that they harmonized.

[wants2beadancer]

When was this? I mean, what part?

[brumster225]

@wants2beadancer about half way through part 9, Why We Fight

[80128Skier]

actual song is blood on the risers by the 82 airborne chorus.

[ronaldweasleyfan55]

this is blood on the risers but yeah its awesome

[SomeStranger9]

this part is totally awesome.

[KgjA51]

Blood upon the Riser or better known as

"Gory, gory what a hell of a way to die!"

[xxxKimmxxx]

"Gory Gory" fits better to the lyrics I guess, but I always heard "Glory Glory", somehow the 'L' seems to be really there, lol

"She hates that dog!" Aww, poor Nixon.

[lordazn]

Poor dog!

[tom4darlo]

its gory gory what a hell of a way to die,

[leaksson93]

anyone the full the text of this song?

[Hummmlan]

well, this is what they are singing in this clip:

The risers swung around his neck connecters cracked his dome

Suspension lines was tied in knots around his skinny bones

The conapy became his shroud, he hurteld to the ground

And he ain't gonna jump no more

Gory gory..

He hit the ground the sound was "Splat", his blood went spurting high

his comrades they were heard to say "A hell of a way to die!"

He had to rolling round in the welter of his gore

And he ain't gonna jump no more

[Hummmlan]

and, just so you all know; there are many different versions of this song (or more rather to the melody, but anyway) and in this version it really is "Gory gory".

I think it's in the first version (I might have that wrong) it was Glory.

And when you think about it, it sounds better with "Gory" then "Glory" when you are listning to the lyrics :P =)

[Hummmlan]

Sorry for all my comments, hehe.

But I found that I was a little bit wrong in the lyrics. It's:

"He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore"

Just so you know :-)

I'm not going to post anything more now, so.. yhea, sorry once again :P

[EestiKahur]

i ben see this movie hundred times! 1-10 all

[JosephineMarcus]

I have this song. It's actually sung by the 82nd Aiborne Division.

Glory, glory, what a hell of a way to die,

He ain't gonna jump no more!

He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat!," his blood went spurting high,

His comrades then were heard to say: "A hell of a way to die!"

He lay there rolling round in the welter of his gore,

And he ain't gonna jump no more.

[SomeStranger9]

Hell i almost sang Glory Glory Man United to this

[adinmpj]

I'm pretty sure they're singing "glory glory". :)

[ROKR30]

[hotsauce567123890]

[TsukasaElkKite]

[PrivateRyan798]

[RichardSwayne]

Why use DUKWs?

[Paingod556]

They used them once, en route to Brandenburgh (sp?) Winters reckoned they were the best vehicle ever built based on that ride, but the US Navy and Army weren't all that interested.

[emynarnen]

[GeorgeVreelandHill]
