Swedish Marines Lip-Synch Greased Lightning


You've seen U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan perform "Call Me Maybe" and "Telephone," but you ain't seen nothing until you've seen these handsome Swedish marines' lip-syncing "Grease's" systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic show-stopper "Greased Lightning."

Forget about the USO, we already have enough performing talent in the world's armed forces

But look a little closer. There are others too. Let's say Sweden doesn't have a Don't Ask Don't Tell.

can give the Beach Boys a run for their money.

The lyrics, the best that I could tell...

OMG Those lyrics are great. And the guys who are singing sound so much like the Beach Boys.
I think my fav lyrics are
"Croatia, Albania
Somewhere near Romania

Andorra, NATO, Why the hell do we go?
Somalia, Grenada, we'll rescue Kuwait-a
Somewhere far overseas,
there's a place called Kosovo
That's where u don't want to go
if ur Albanian and all.

Protecting human rights, airstrikes and fire fights
And we'll be dropping our bombs wherever
Serbian bad guys hide.
Just up from Kosovo.

Somalia, Grenada, We'll rescue you Kuwait-a
We screwed ya-Rwanda-wished we coulda helped ya.
Iraqi embargo, How it is we don't know

We'll kick some ass, and then see how it goes.
But then we really don't know.
Good luck to Kosovo.

Milosovich, you sorry son of a bitch.
Every time we go
to little places like Kosovo,
we never really know what happens after we go.
Tough luck for Kosovo.

Repeat
That sucks for Kosovo.


Very well done Norwegian NATO guys...

nice job on the lyrics, the actual lyrics are in the link below. ("It's Euro"/"Andorra&quot

"In 1999, Seattle-based radio talkshow host Bob Rivers wrote a satirical cover version of the harmless Beach Boys song “Kokomo” (“Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand”). The new text (see below) was not harmless at all, but very biting (“We screwed ya Rwanda, wish we coulda helped ya”) and mainly criticised the US’s self-conception as a world policeman:"

to cover Carly Rae Jepson, but I know they did it and then dedicated it to the Miami cheerleaders, and then they did one back.
