WWI Rap - AP US History project '09

A quick rap music video that my group did about World War I.

Note: entire video and song was made in ONE day... the day before it was due... and because of our procrastination we didn't have enough time to finish recording a video :[

Lyrics:

Now back in FOURTEEN
we were all DRIVING
Ford's model T
without rims 'n'
UPHOLSTRY

Arc-duke Franz FERD-IN-AND
in HERZEGOVINA, with the BLACK HAND.

shots to the head
Franz and sohpie dead
austria n russia go head to head in serbia

allied with turkey
but nobody knows
diplomacy in germany
lead by the NOSE

WAR ON RUSSIA
WAR ON FRANCE
germany on the SEAT OF THEIR PANTS
Belgium, then BRITAIN
take it on the CHIN
the US of A delayed to their DISMAY

//////chorus///////////////
Franz got capped,
tranquility snapped,
while two powers divide
Central n Allies collide,
Lusitania goes down
America war-bound
Germany retreatin,
Allies defeatin
///////////////////////////////

may of 15, still on the fence
america was in hesitance
down goes the lusitania
Uncle sam on the verge of mania

Wilson calls George, YO DAWG WHATS UP?
What's crackin man? SIGN US UP.

Attackin my ships
I'm sick of u-BOATS
We're just shippin chips,
and QUAKER OATS

We've got GUNS, TRUCKS, AND PLANES TOO
we're on a boat, HEADIN FOR YOU

//////chorus///////////////
Franz got capped,
tranquility snapped,
while two powers divide
Central n Allies collide,
Lusitania goes down
America war-bound
Germany retreatin,
Allies defeatin
///////////////////////////////

Off the deck, and onto france
Give 'em what you want BUT DONT GIVE EM A CHANCE
we're the west side, ON THE WEST SIDE OF EUROPE
representin our pride, and AUNT JEMIMA SYRUP.
wait? who added... that?

Diggin' these trenches, and linin up
stop the advances of the german schlup

rats all around, got mud on the ground
my springfield is jammed,
these conditions are CRAMMED

Our lines grow weary,
germans make it to Marne
on their what to PARIS,
got blocked at (Chateau) THIERRY

Storm the trenches at meuse-Argonne
don't stop til all their supplies are gone

//////chorus///////////////
Franz got capped,
tranquility snapped,
while two powers divide
Central n Allies collide,
Lusitania goes down
America war-bound
Germany retreatin,
Allies defeatin
///////////////////////////////

Wait just a sec, we've had ENOUGH.
without food and ammo, this fighting is TOUGH.

at eleven, on eleven, eleven of EIGHTEEN.
With an armistice enacted, the powers CONVENED

@KaiserFrederickII

a) the Lusitania was carrying small arms ammunition listed in the manifest and nothing more.

b) it was a British ship kid...

c) although it was classified as an Armed Merchant Cruiser it had never been fitted with any weapons.

d) your gov't killed 1200 innocent people

deal with it bud

@KaiserFrederickII im wondering if students in Germany are taught about the holocaust

[TheMrBillers]

@DEVGRUjason The Luitsania was carrying various amounts of ammo boxes. Explain that.

@kidri0t Haha you must be president Ahmadinejad!! I'm not going to argue with you because you're already misinformed and have established an anti semitic belief complex, but I will say, for all those reading and possibly considering your insane argument, genocide is far more significant than casualties of war, whether a war crime or not. When you say "killed" you omit all potential context, and in a world as hateful and dangerous as ours, context is everything.

[kidri0t]

@DEVGRUjason British empire killed a good bit more than Nazi germany and then the winner is the communists both in china and and in russia plus a few other countrys killed more than a 100 million but the jews must be worth more than the rest of the victims of war crimes.
