Thread Name: Yugoslavia
Subject: RE: Yugoslavia
Hopefully at least a good song or two'll come out of it (albeit in Serbian). Reminds me of a couple things:

The Tom Lehrer lines,
Remember the war against Franco!
That's the kind where each of us belongs —
Though he may have won all the battles,
We had all the good songs...
and the fact that I keep meaning to ask if anybody knows where there's either a MIDI of the tune or the original Polish words of the the Polish revolutionary song anglicized as "Whirlwinds of Danger" (I think), from a 19th-century anti-czarist uprising; 1848? Or know any other details about it (like so many other songs, I only know it in Esperanto, as Varsovia Kanto.)

Seriously, though, it will be nice not to have Milosevic to kick [us] around anymore.
