Blast from the past- Hadji Girl

Sunday, January 30, 2011

OK this is just a breath of fresh air that some of you may not have had the opportunity to enjoy. So back when we were at war in this country called Iraq, some insensitive Neanderthal Marine wrote and then performed a tender love song about a girl he met and how their Romeo and Hadjuliet romance worked out. Now the usual suspects became outraged that an American would tell this tale of love, intrigue, honor killing and revenge, and the artiste came under attack. We and other folks came to his support and sanity eventually prevailed, but the intrepid balladeer Josh Belile was muzzled. But you can't keep a love story under wraps forever, so I can now announce that Josh is a civilian and no longer under the highly-polished boot of the Corps and he will be bringing Hadji Girl and some other tasty tales to us all. More on that to follow, but I can say y'all will dig it. So here is the original version and the lyrics are below the fold. If you didn't watch Team America- World Police you won't know why the chorus is so funny, but trust us it is, and watch the movie. Thanks C-Bob for the Team America link.

I was out in the sands of Iraq
And we were under attack
And I, well, I didn't know where to go.

And the first think I could see was
Everybody's favorite Burger King
So I threw open the door and I hit the floor.

Then suddenly to my surprise
I looked up and I saw her eyes
And I knew it was love at first sight.

And she said

Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
Hadji girl I can't understand what you're saying.

And she said
Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
Hadji girl I love you anyway

Then she said that she wanted me to see.
She wanted me to meet her family
But I, well, I couldn't figure out how to say no.

Cause I don't speak Arabic.

So, she took me down an old dirt trail.
And she pulled up to a side shanty
And she threw open the door and I hit the floor.

Cause her brother and her father shouted

Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
They pulled out their AKs so I could see

And they said
Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah

So I grabbed her little sister and pulled her in front of me.

As the bullets began to fly
The blood sprayed from between her eyes
And then I laughed maniacally

Then I hid behind the TV
And I locked and loaded my M-16
And I blew those little f***ers to eternity.

And I said

Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
They should have known they were f***ing with a Marine

Uber Pig
Uber Pig was an Infantryman from late 1991 until early 1996, serving with Second Ranger Battalion, I Corps, and then 25th Infantry Division. At the time, the Army discriminated against enlisted soldiers who wanted use the "Green to Gold" program to become officers, so he left to attend Stanford University. There, he became expert in detecting, avoiding, and surviving L-shaped ambushes, before dropping out to be as entrepreneurial as he could be. He is now the founder of a software startup serving the insurance and construction industries, and splits time between Lake Tahoe, Boonville, and San Francisco, CA.

Uber Pig writes for Blackfive a) because he's the proud brother of an enlisted Civil Affairs Reservist who currently serves in Iraq, b) because he looks unkindly on people who make it harder for the military in general, and for his brother in particular, to succeed at their missions and come home in victory, and c) because the Blackfive readers and commenters help keep him sane.
