BBC:
A spoof video of the song (Is This The Way To) Amarillo, performed by British soldiers in Iraq, has crashed Ministry of Defence computers.

Troops in the Royal Dragoon Guards shot a home video at their Al Faw base of their version of the video sung by Tony Christie and mimed by Peter Kay.

They e-mailed it to Army friends in London, but so many tried to download it that the MoD server could not cope.

The MoD said the spoof was "brilliant" and the crash did not cause problems.

Interesting that the Brits would choose a song about a city in Texas, but it sure played well in the video.

That was great. It brought a smile to my face! I love the dudes in the Iraqi robes and headresses! Very clever.

28. I'm guessing that they're not on tactical alert then.

It looks rather laid-back.

[johannes1984]

29. the best thing to come out of Iraq

in a long time .

[Vox_Reason]

30. That really did take an enormous amount of coordination.

How many guys were involved in that piece? 50? 75? Seemed like a ton. I didn't see any cuts in the footage--seemed to be one long take. Very nicely executed!
