Nothing but a bunch of baby raping, woman killing, terrorist attacking, demonic islamic FILTH that needs to be dealt with now before it gets to where its too late, should have turned iran into a parking lot over 30 years ago.

@ColdEthylXTC I'm Iranian and I can tell you that most Iranians do not hate America nor Israel. Most Iranians are under the age of 35 and really don't care much about religion. As I told another commenter below, I doubt I can change your opinion about Iran or Iranians.
It would be nice if Americans supported Iran's secular youth in toppling their government instead of this "bomb Iran" stuff... anyways, peace.
Iran has a great and richer history then compared to America, America are just ignorant and showing off, because they have come so far in so few years, compared to the countries which they destroyed i.e Iraq and Afghanistan, this is politically incorrect, though you have freedom of speech, it doesn't mean freedom of hate and prejudice, this song is stupid, and I shall dislike it!
@AssyrianKingz13 IRAN AND ALL THESE FUCKIN OTHER DEMONIC ISLAMIC COUNTRIES ARE ABOUT NOTHING BUT STEALING, RAPING, BRUTALITY, BARBARISM, WORSHIPPING YOUR BELOVED MASTER SATAN! SEND ALL YOUR FUCKIN ASSES TO YOUR FUCKING DEMONIC ALLAH ASSHOLE... COURTESY OF THE RED WHITE AND BLUE BABY! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
@AssyrianKingz13 GO BACK TO THE 600'S WHEN MOHAMAD WAS CONTACTED BY AN EVIL SPIRIT AND HE CREATED DEMONIC ISLAM, YOU ARE AN IGNORANT PIECE OF DEMONIC SHIT FOR FOLLOWING YOUR FUCKING DEMONIC ALLAH ASSHOLE
@AssyrianKingz13 Bullshit mother fucker, i've read the history, READ THE DEMONIC QURAN, heard former demonic muslims that converted to christIan and luckily SURVIVED Talk all about it's history, what their views are on VARIOUS issues..stop trying to bullshit ppl that demonic islam is this warm, loving peaceful religion b/c it's NOT MOHAMAD was a baby fucking PEDOPHILE.
@AssyrianKingz13 THEY KNEW THE TRUTH1 JUST LIKE ALOT OF US KNOW THE TRUTH. THEY ARE PURE DEMONIC. A RELIGION STARTED BY A PEDOPHILE WHOW AS CONTACTED BY AN EVIL SPIRIT, HE EVEN WENT TO HIS PRE TEEN WIFE FOR ADVICE, THAT STUPID FUCKING CHILD TOLD HIM TO LISTEN TO THE EVIL SPIRIT
@AssyrianKingz13 yeah, this coming from a "peaceful" religion that stones women to death, women punished for being raped, says that "infidels" must convert or die and pay "tax" for converting,, says to kill jews and on and on...but do keep saying how demonic islam is so wonderful and must become the only religion in the world..nice try fool.
@thecolaratlady Meh. I understand you. I'm Iranian and I see how you see Iran, you're probably in your mid 40's I assume? Iran is a young nation and most Iranians really don't care much about religion (trust me, I'm Iranian).
I doubt I can change your mind. You've got this idea that Iran is a monolithic society full of people out to get you and I won't be able to change that.
Lol! I remember when this song came out during the Iran Hostage crisis (1979). Perfect timing, since we have Carter II in the WH and Iran looks to be becoming a problem again.
Perfect timing in that you happened to have stumble across this song again during the four years of President Obama's first term as the leader of the US?...
Perfect timing in that you happened to have stumble across this song again during the four years of President Obama's first term as the leader of the US?...
@harrypotterfan2256 i was a young teen when this song came out back in the 70's, we used to go to the skating rink every weekend, they played this several times a night, man we skated our asses off to it.
words are witty; text is disgusting. Israel already has 300 nukes (helped by theft from US secrets, BTW) and is the proven aggressor hear. Hands off Iran.
I would guess a large supply of the oil in iran would be given for free to china in such a war to keep them out of it, china does not gives a ratass about iran they care about there own nation and if it profits them more they agree with it.
BY giving India pakistan or a part of it back by expelling the muslims you might gain them as a ally in such a war
So yeah who would really back iran up if usa attacked them? Pretty much nobody like i´ve told you, Iran has no ally only buisness partners that will switch to the other side if it´s more proftible, Russia would be against it but they would not not use miltary force,
@MrRichardh65 Well you see here's the problem, our government is a bunch of idiots so back then we didn't want to get in anybody else's business unless we were brought into it but nowadays we can't stay out of anyone's business. so basically our government can't figure out how to keep it balanced.
It's a great song about a significant event in American and World history. I remember the time well. It received a fair amount of air time for a while before the politically correct crowd forced it off the airwaves. I was in my early 30s at the time and remember that it conveyed very well the sentiment of the majority of Americans to the unprovoked taking of the American Embassy in Tehran and holding of the staff hostages for over 440 days.
Yeah its about damn time to end all this bs and send a nuclear message next day air to Tehran. It wasn't wrong then, and it isn't now. We aren't using it to rule the world, but to put evil in check. And I can be no one is willing to hit us with one. So let's take 'em out.
Wow, I remember when VVV first released this!!! Jimmy Carter was Prez, we gave the Shah asylum after he fled Iran, and Iranian students were marching in protest in downtown Dallas, Texas... I laughed so hard the first time I heard it on the radio!!! You know, after seeing what Iran has become, maybe we should have taken Vince Vance's advice... LOL
Are you kidding now more than ever that's where we need to be The leader now is TOTALLY CRAZY !!!! Come this crazy fool doesn't even believe the Holocaust never happened FKing PLZ !!!! even scarier than the stupid Ayatollah was. And I really am not a scaremonger, Not a Tea Party Freak or a crazy Republican !!!!
@kaycee1257 War mongering, us?? They attacked us. You know what. I'm tired of being portrayed as the "bad guys". It's time to bare and use our teeth. Enough is enough! Let's act like what were accused of. If Iran want's a nuke, let's send them one, via airmail. Let's act like these Banana republics (or is it dates) say we do. Let's see how they like thatt!! How much more of our troops' blood must we spill just to get a warm fuzzy??? Enough already. =Stefan=
@chengloki Yes, "war mongering". No matter how you look at it, in favor or not, this is bare faced war mongering (which btw is going around trying to start a war). Also, when exactly did they directly attack us? For all their threats and rallies, they haven't done anything of the sort. Stooping to their level would be completely irrational, irresponsible, and all around bad for international relations.
@TehJ0ke I know who you are "TheJ0ke!!!!!" (thetrekker)
But on a serious note, Iran has never physically attacked us, just thrown abuse. Trade sanctions will work against them if our "newlyfound" allies (thanks wikileaks) help with the sanctions. Never nuke a rat when you can starve it out.
@TehJ0ke No matter how you look at it, this song came out when the Iranian students seized American citizens as hostages back in Jimmy Carter's day as president. (1980-81). Taking US citizens, from the Embassy is not a direct attack? Or, maybe you have not heard of that? Maybe I'm mistaken. I was stationed aboard USS Nimitz when we were redirected to the Gulf of Oman in direct support of freeing the hostages. Unfortunately, Desert 1 was a failure. I lost a few friends on that one. =Stefan=
@chengloki Look I respect what you and other soldiers do America. However, while I'm not an expert on this incident, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a direct attack on the US by the Iranian government. The government certainly wasn't cooperative, but it did not attack us with military force nor did it attack any part of the 50 states (embassies are only sovereign territories).
Also, 1. I had no idea when this came out and 2. this video suggests nuking Iran, something I completely disagree with.
@TehJ0ke An attack on any embassy is a direct act of war!! Embassies are considered home soil of the representing nation(Research it). Also, nowhere in this song was the word "nuke" ever used. The attack on the USS Cole was an act of war!! You can disagree all you wan't. If Iran gets nukes, that mad man will use them. =Stefan=
@chengloki You clearly did not get what I was trying to say in the last post. I was saying that 1. it was a group of students who attacked the embassy (no not Iranian commandos) so "they" didn't actually attack us, 2. they didn't attack the "homeland" anyway, so it isn't quite as shocking since it is in a well known anti-US country, and 3. I'm aware the song never says "nuke", but it does show a picture of a nuclear explosion. Now that's not quite as direct but the meaning is still clear.
@TehJ0ke A group of students or an elite force, they committed an act of war! What don't you understand about embassies? They are considered soil of the sponsoring nation. They are part of the "homeland". And it's time you realize that the Iranian government is NOT the final authority. We're talking theocracy. The ones really in charge are the radical Imams. And they wan't to destroy anyone who does not swear to Islam. (Their words). NO WAY IN HELL!!! You can, if you wan't. =Stefan=
A country's Embassy is, indeed, considered soverign soil. The American Embassy was, by international law, American soil. Anyone who believes that was a spontaneous uprising by "students" with no Iranian Government involvement/incitement, clearly is not knowledgeable of either the times OR the event.
I also ask: If these truly were students, how did they have time to hang around the American embassy for 444 days instead of being in school (what students should have been doing)?
@MrDuMeMi I was an early teen during the iran hostage taking. we used to go to the skating rink alot on weekends, whenenever they played this song. oh man, we went nuts skating to it. They would play it a few times a night.
@TehJ0ke And if Achmadinijad gets his nukes, and uses them on us? I'm sure your disagreeing will make difference. Oh, TeJoke won't like this. I'll stop. Wake up, my friend. The world doesn't work the way you think it should. As for the Iranian gov't, it is not like our's. The Mullahhs call the shots. And they have said that they will destroy anyone who does not bow down to Islam. (Not my words, there's). I don't even bow down to Christianity. I'm my own man. =Stefan=
I never thought I would hear this song again. I love it. Much better than the Mccain song. I am an american who lived in Tehran when the revolution began and my family left just before hostages were taken.
Don't get mad people. This song was from 1979/1980 during the time when Iran held Americans prisoner for 444 days. We (The country) were mad at President Carter for not doing anything about it. It was a different time.
LOL, none of these Americans know anything about Iran.
Fucking funny.

I'm aware the song never says "nuke", but it does show a picture of a nuclear explosion. Now that's not quite as direct but the meaning is still clear.

@TehJ0ke A group of students or an elite force, they committed an act of war! What don't you understand about embassies? They are considered soil of the sponsoring nation. They are part of the "homeland". And it's time you realize that the Iranian government is NOT the final authority. We're talking theocracy. The ones really in charge are the radical Imams. And they wan't to destroy anyone who does not swear to Islam. (Their words). NO WAY IN HELL!!! You can, if you wan't. =Stefan=

A country's Embassy is, indeed, considered soverign soil. The American Embassy was, by international law, American soil. Anyone who believes that was a spontaneous uprising by "students" with no Iranian Government involvement/incitement, clearly is not knowledgeable of either the times OR the event.
I also ask: If these truly were students, how did they have time to hang around the American embassy for 444 days instead of being in school (what students should have been doing)?

@TehJ0ke And if Achmadinijad gets his nukes, and uses them on us? I'm sure your disagreeing will make difference. Oh, TeJoke won't like this. I'll stop. Wake up, my friend. The world doesn't work the way you think it should. As for the Iranian gov't, it is not like our's. The Mullahhs call the shots. And they have said that they will destroy anyone who does not bow down to Islam. (Not my words, there's). I don't even bow down to Christianity. I'm my own man. =Stefan=

I never thought I would hear this song again. I love it. Much better than the Mccain song. I am an american who lived in Tehran when the revolution began and my family left just before hostages were taken.

Don't get mad people. This song was from 1979/1980 during the time when Iran held Americans prisoner for 444 days. We (The country) were mad at President Carter for not doing anything about it. It was a different time.
