@MBArkestra Alright? It's really up to interpretation and how the particular person views the song, I really don't see why you're upset, I just thought it sounded satirical in a way, there's not one set way to interpret any piece of music. Either way, I love this album and group.

@justinorville Taken in to the context of “The Civil War” I really don’t see this as a satirical piece of music so much as a bald faced rendition of the song…just in the style of Matmos. It’s an interesting take on the song and fits in to the narrative of the album it comes from, though I’m pretty sure they weren’t thinking “hey let’s make this sound silly in order to make fun of AMERICA, fuck that place right?” when they recorded it. So no, I don’t think it’s satire. That’s all.

@MBArkestra It's a satirical take on the one of the most patriotic pieces of American music ever recorded. By nature satire is mocking or criticizing something that the author or creator has a problem with, and if this piece is mocking such a patriotic piece of music, than in a sense it is mocking the United States.

@justinorville What the hell are you talking about? How is this "making a mockery" of anything?

I love this, makes such a mockery of the U.S.
