Disco Inferno
Speaking of newspapers that we would like to see Stay Classy, today’s Evening Standard Lite:
All out ground war in the Middle East? Bring out the disco anthems!
The argument that took place between my brain and my eyes when I saw this (“You have got to be fucking kidding me.” “Dude, you’re the one interpreting these images.” “Yeah, but… nobody can actually have thought that was a good idea, right?” “Maybe it’s satire, a critique of the gung ho attitude of the IDF.” “From the Standard Lite?” “Hey, I just absorb photons, don’t look at me.” “I can’t look at you, you’re my eyes.” “I WIN, BRAINIAC.”) can probably be considered an overwhelming victory for the Standard’s subs.
Think about it this way – it’s actually kinda clever, what they’ve done…
Ain’t no stopping us now, we’re on the move
Ain’t no stopping us now, we got the groove
[We're advancing into South Lebanon]
There’s been so many things
That held us down
[Lack of excuses, international law]
But now it looks like things
Are finally coming around
[At last!]
I know we’ve got
A long long way to go
[To the Litani river, considering the speed they've been moving at thus far]
And where we’ll end up
I don’t know
[All-out regional war? Bring it on!]

It’s worth noting that the Super Furry Animals claim, in the liner notes of Radiator and a reference in the song The Placid Casual, that Valentine Strasser (head of state of Sierra Leone in the early nineties) made Ain’t No Stopping Us Now the anthem for his military coup. No other sources back up this claim, however…
