Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden


It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
of engines roar in the night,
The mission is near the confident men
are waiting to drop from the sky.

The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare.

Bavarian alps that lay all around
they seem to stare from below,
The enemy lines a long time passed
are lying deep in the snow.

Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare.

They're closing in the fortress is near
it's standing high in the sky,
The cable car's the only way in
it's really impossible to climb.

They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day.

The panicking cries the roaring of guns
are echoing all round the valley,
The mission complete they make to escape
away from the Eagles Nest.

They dared to go where no one would try
they chose to fly where eagles dare.

When The Eagle Cries - Iced Earth

Another day, just like any other
Out of the blue, it turned to horror
How could they? Why would they?
The innocents suffered hell's inferno
An senseless act that goes unforgotten
How could they? They will pay

When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries
When the eagle cries

Out of the ashes came a tempted vengeance
But we are focused, we seek redemption
We are free, we'll stay free
All they've done, is make us stronger
The sleeping giant, is asleep no longer
If need be, we'll die free

When the eagle cries
(Blood will flow)
When the eagle cries
(For freedom's fight)

When the eagle cries
(We love us all)
When the eagle cries
(We'll sacrifice)
When the eagle cries

When the eagle cries
(Blood will flow)
When the eagle cries
(For freedom's fight)

When the eagle cries
(We love us all)
When the eagle cries
(We'll sacrifice)
When the eagle cries

That Annette Hanshaw recording was one of the first things I thought of when I saw the title of this thread. But there’s another one I don’t think has been mentioned...

The 1933 tune “My Bluebird’s Singing the Blues,” which was featured prominently in the film “International House.” Baby Rose Marie sings it in the movie, but the melody plays off and on throughout the film. But in terms of recordings of it, my preference is for the version done by the hot British band, Madame Tussaud’s Dance Orchestra, on the rare Edison Bell Winner 78rpm label, and with a female vocal. An obscure but fine band that apparently recorded only in that single year of 1933, and did some rather nice versions of some Duke Ellington tunes.

I listened to that song for two years until I got out of my marriage. Didnt get the connection until 25 years later.
