Iraq war musical 'Let's Kick Ass!' premieres in Denmark

COPENHAGEN -- A musical about the Iraq war, Let's Kick Ass!, was to open in Copenhagen on Thursday, featuring a satirical depiction of US President George W. Bush and his faithful ally in Iraq, Danish Premier Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

Let's Kick Ass!, a reference to a Bush quote, is an adaptation of British musical Follow My Leader by Alistair Beaton, which targets Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

"Like 'Oh, What A Lovely War', which was a reaction to the madness of the First World War, this is an attempt to react to Denmark's participation in a war of aggression for the first time in generations," said Synne Henriques, spokeswoman for the Noerrebro theater.

The show, sung in Danish, gives a satirical account of a White House breakfast, a meeting of CIA agents Laurel and Hardy at the Pentagon, features the "tropical paradise" at the US detention center in Guantanamo Bay, and gives a biting account of the Danish parliament's narrow vote in favor of sending troops to Iraq.


TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Culture/Society; Foreign Affairs; Miscellaneous; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections; US: District of Columbia
KEYWORDS: allies; allydenmark; andersrasmussen; bush; danishtroops; denmark; gwot; iraq; musicals; smokedtoomuchhashish; thearts; theater
Maybe they think this play will make Rasmussen feel guilty like the play in Hamlet.

Denmark's response to their invasion by the Nazis was to lodge a protest to the League of Nations.

In the meantime Let's Lick Ass opened in London. Lets Lick Ass, a reference to a British Parliament member George Galloway quote, is an adaptation of the Galloway approach to stopping terrorism.

Perhaps there should be a musical about certain European countries who can't or won't defend themselves called: Let's kiss ass.

eh, screw em! We just need a counter song....and since Doug from Upland aint around.....

Copenhagen - Sung to Cat Scratch Fever (sorry Ted)

Well I don't know where they come from
But they should shut the hell up!
To criticize my country
And I know why they do it
because they are socialist weasels
and Euro-pussy's

They live in Copenhagen
Copenhagen

Well they talk really tough
from their frozen wasteland
Shooting up and smokin sh!t
We honored Copenhagen
with a can of chaw
We think of you when we spit!

They live in Copenhagen
Copenhagen

The country's worthless
with their drug dens
Smokin dope all day
Their so much smarter in its just a sin
But it not their brains thinking
its the heroin!

Well let the wimps talk all they want
And throw their Euro fits!
They will never live down
the cold hard facts
that we can make them our B!tch!

They live in Copenhagen
Copenhagen
