Random music from around the world against the US
I've been getting interested in Spanish ska rock recently. Be it for the laughs or for the reflexion, here's the lyrics for "Tio Sam" by Ska-p (in literal form, not for singing):

Tío Sam, Sam, muñeco de homicidio
/Uncle Sam, Sam, homicidal doll
Tío Sam, Sam, jugamos a matar
/Uncle Sam, Sam, let's play murder
Tío Sam, Sam, comienza el exterminio
/Uncle Sam, Sam, let the extermination begin
Tío Sam, Sam, operación IraK.
/Uncle Sam, Sam, Operation Iraq.

Suenan los pepinos en Bagdad
/The cucumbers sound on Bagdhad
inician la ofensiva militar
/They start the military offensive
la sangre ha comenzado ya a brotar.
/The blood's already blooming
¡¡Cuidado no te vaya a salpicar!!
/Don't let it spill you!
Tío Sam, Sam, muñeco ultrasádico
/Uncle Sam, Sam, ultrasadistic doll
Tío sam, Sam, todo por su interés
/Uncle Sam, Sam, everything for his interests
Tío Sam, sam, misiles diplomáticos
/Uncle Sam, Sam, diplomatic missiles
Tío Sam, Sam, te van a convencer.
/Uncle Sam, Sam, they will convince you
Y nos venden sus mentiras por televisión
/And they sell their lies on TV
engañando al personal, yendo de salvador
/cheatinf personnel, coming as saviors
no hay acuerdo, procedamos a la destrucción
/there's no agreement, let's proceed to the destruction
mataremos sin piedad.
/We will kill without mercy
MIL MUERTOS MÁS QUE MÁS DA, ES MI GUERRA
/ONE THOUSAND MORE DEAD, SO WHAT, IT'S MY WAR
VOY A LANZAR MI ARSENAL A LA TIERRA
/i'M GOING TO LAUNCH MY ARSENAL TO THE EARTH
LOS MUERTOS LOS PONEN LOS DEMÁS, LA MISERIA
/LET EVERYONE ELSE PUT THE DEAD, THE MISERY
YO TENGO LICENCIA 'PÁ' MATAR, A LA MIERDA!!
/I HAVE A LICENSE TO KILL, TO HELL WITH IT!!

Siempre en la vanguardia militar
/Always at the military vanguard
son los aliados de la OTAN
/Are the NATO allies
máquinas perfectas de matar
/perfect killing machines
asesinan en el nombre de la paz.
/murdering in the name of peace
Y nos venden sus mentiras por televisión
/And they sell their lies on TV
engañando al personal, yendo de salvador
/Cheating their personell, coming as saviors
no hay acuerdo, procedamos a la destrucción
/There's no agreement, procees with the destruction
mataremos sin piedad.
/We will kill without mercy
MIL MUERTOS MÁS QUE MÁS DA, ES MI GUERRA
/ONE THOUSAND MORE DEAD, SO WHAT, IT'S MY WAR
VOY A LANZAR MI ARSENAL A LA TIERRA
/I'M GOING TO LAUNCH MY ARSENAL TO EARTH
LOS MUERTOS LOS PONEN LOS DEMÁS, LA MISERIA
/LET EVERYONE ELSE PUT THE DEAD, TEH MISERY
YO TENGO LICENCIA 'PÁ' MATAR, A LA MIERDA!!
/I HAVE A LICENSE TO KILL, TO HELL WITH IT!!

MIL MUERTOS MÁS QUE MÁS DA, ES MI GUERRA

Asesinos del Tratado Atlántico: os saludan los muertos de irak,
/Assassins of the Northatlantic Treaty: the dead in Iraq salute you
Asesinos del Tratado Atlántico: os saludan los muertos de irak,
/Assassins of the Northatlantic Treaty: the dead in Iraq salute you

los muertos los pone el pueblo,
/The people put the dead
los muertos los pone el pueblo,
/The people put the dead

Ska-P is tremendously popular in Spain and in Latin America. And they're supposedly upbeat tone makes great contrast to the lyrics.

2. The great cucumber massacre
Garden party held today, invites call the debs to play, Social climbers polish ladders,
Wayward sons again have fathers, "Hello, dad!"
Edgy eggs and queuing cumbers, rudely wakened from their slumbers
time has come again for slaughter on the lawns by still "Cam" waters,
It's a slaughter
...
Doctor's son a parson's daughter where why not and should they oughta
Please don't lie upon the grass, unless accompanied by a fellow,
May I be so bold as to perhaps suggest Othello...
