I've got an idea!

Gotthard Heinrici · 30-07-2008, 10:38 AM

Ok,

Now go with me on this......... how about a brand new west end musical set on the Eastern Front called "Cherkassy here we come". It'll be a light-hearted romp set in the Soviet Command Headquarters. I think Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber might go for this, now what about suitable music? C'mon lads if it succeeds I'll split the royalties with ya!

* Yes its a "Bad Taste" thread, and god knows maybe a bit humorous

GH,
Go on, who would John Barrowman play then?

You sure you haven't been at the Poitín, or could it be водка?

remembering Fatboy Slim's video "Ya mama" I can only add to topic "I've got and idea.." the following "..we 'll be rich!"

Gotthard Heinrici · 31-07-2008, 09:59 AM

Well one song that came straight to mind is the scene where General Stemmerman gets killed in the breakout we could have the Russian chorus singing "Another one bites the dust", for example!!!

djcrtoye · 31-07-2008, 10:10 AM

What about "under pressure"

Gotthard Heinrici · 31-07-2008, 10:37 AM

Now that could be the opening of Act 1, we could have a scene with Von Manstein and General Wohler at HQ singing this!

deadb_tch · 31-07-2008, 11:47 AM

And then they continue with "we will rock you"

Owen · 31-07-2008, 11:51 AM

Followed by more Queen songs,
"Who wants to live forever" & "Another one bits the dust." Edit , sorry Ger, didn't see you alreay had that.
Chris Rea, "Road to Hell" could also be apt.

Well now that would be scene 2 in which the Soviet Commanders promise the Germans a torrid time!!!

Owen, great suggestion about the Road to Hell. We could also have the German soldiers limping off singing "Tell me there's a Heaven"

During a successful Russian counter-attack, upon nearing the objective we could have "Living on a prayer"
