You're a nationalist, it's not okay

A while ago I posted on the song Tomorrow Belongs to Me from the musical Cabaret.  It had come into the news after the death of Jorge Haider, whose acolytes used to sing it on country excursions.

So now when someone searches for Tomorrow Belongs to Me my post turns up in the Google list.  Other sites turn up as well, and this caught my eye:-

The German folk song "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" that predates the nazi era was adapted and slightly altered for that movie. I have a German version of the song. Most know of the version made famous by the band Skrewdriver from his album "hail the new dawn". If you want the Cabaret version they do sell the original musical score. The song is about nature, optimism and faith.

From a piece of rhyming slang on Stormfront.  I’m not going to link to the exchange but there’s some debate about whether it is a German folk song or not – obviously the preference is that it should be so rather than it should be written by Ebb and Karder (American Jews) in the 1960’s, for Cabaret, a film which the pieces of rhyming slang of Stormfront hate. 

Another Stormfront ascribes the song to Mussolini’s fascists:-

Actually, as far as I can remember this song is Italian, originally 'Il domani appartiene a noi', which I think originated with the Italian troops fighting in the Alps in WW1, and then had its lyrics changed somewhat and was then used by Mussolini.

Excellent translation! In truth, I prefer the Italian lyrics to the English ones...the song is being cleansed...we are making it our own. Salve!

So white supremacists and nationalists can’t even make up decent songs for themselves and have to pretend they are “cleansing” other people’s songs?  That is so uncreative.

I had a look at some BNP songs on YouTube.  There was one, called Don’t Unpack Your [sic] Going Back

Someone in the comments thread points out:-

The lyrics betray a mindset of a teenager, the music is cringeworthy, and NOBODY I have ever come across that supports the BNP can spell !

You all love England so much that you don't learn your mother tongue ?

Someone else says:-

Why can nobody in the BNP write music? They're all just covers with new lyrics...

(I don’t recognise the song myself but I’ll take it that that commenter knows what s/he is talking  about).

There does seem to be a dearth of good BNP songs.  So here’s an offering for them, especially now they are trying to look like a nice normal patriotic party.  It is written in the tradition of setting lyrics to someone else’s music and it’s an easy three chord tune that everyone knows:-  

I’m a nationalist and I’m your man,
I love my mum and I love my gran
(He’s a nationalist and he’s our man
He loves his mum and he loves his gran!)

I win local elections
I’m not a fascist creep
I go to Council meetings
And there I fall asleep

(He wins local elections
He’s not a fascist creep
He goes to Council meetings
And there he falls asleep)

I’m a nationalist, I’m not a thug
I haven’t spent much time in jug
(He’s a nationalist, he’s not a thug
He hasn’t spent much time in jug)

I aim to look respectable
And not a violent cock
The last time when I wore a suit
Was standing in the dock

(He aims to look respectable etc)

I’m a nationalist, I’ll take no shite
I want this country pure and white
(He’s a nationalist, he’ll take no shite
He wants this country pure and white)

I wear a shirt with clean long sleeves
To hide Nazi tattoos
I wish I could kick Asians,
And blacks, and wogs and Jews.

(He wears a shirt etc)

 

What you find under the suit - ex Lincs BNP Organiser and Bodyguard to Nick Griffin Mick Holmes

If you’ve watched the Monty Python video imagine the mounties as deluded supporters listening with dawning concern and outrage and the young ringletted woman wailing, And I thought you weren’t a racist!

It’s all yours, guys.  Feel free to sing it.  Take it away. 

And remember:-

You’re a nationalist and you are thick
You make folk puke and you make folk sick.
