ATF: Heroic Exploits

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Snoopy vs. The Red Baron

The Royal Guardsmen

After the turn of the century

In the clear blue skies over Germany

Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard

Like the screamin’ sound of a big war bird

Up in the sky

A man in a plane

Baron von Richthofen

Was his name

Eighty men tried

And eighty men died

Now they're buried together

On the countryside

Ten

Twenty

Thirty

Forty

Fifty or more

The bloody Red Baron

Was rollin' up the score

Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree

Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

In the nick of time

A hero arose

A funny-lookin’ dog

With a big black nose

He flew into the sky

To seek revenge

But the Baron shot him down

Curses

Foiled again

Ten

Twenty

Thirty

Forty

Fifty or more

The bloody Red Baron

Was rollin' up the score

Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree

Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany

Now Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man

So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan

He challenged the German

To a real dogfight

While the Baron was laughin’

He got him in his sight

That bloody Red Baron

Was in a fix

He'd tried everything

But he'd run out of tricks

Snoopy fired once

And he fired twice

And that bloody Red Baron

Went spinnin’ out of sight

Ten

Twenty

Thirty

Forty

Fifty or more

The bloody Red Baron

Was rollin' up the score

Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree

Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

Well

Ten

Twenty

Thirty

Forty

Fifty or more

The bloody Red Baron

Was rollin' up the score

Link: [Black Sabbath]

Iron Man

Black Sabbath

Has he lost his mind

Can he see or is he blind

Can he walk at all

Or if he moves will he fall

Is he alive or dead

Has he thoughts within his head

We'll just pass him there

Why should we even care

He was turned to steel

In the great magnetic field

When he traveled time

For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him

They just turn their heads

Nobody helps him

Now he has his revenge

Now the time is here

For iron man to spread fear

Vengeance from the grave

Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him

They just turn their heads

Nobody helps him

Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead

Fills his victims full of dread

Running as fast as they can

Iron man lives again
