In Honor of Skippy

I mentioned skippys list in my post below about military gamers, which got me reading the list again, and this one jumped out at me, as it always does:

35. Not allowed to sing “High Speed Dirt” by Megadeth during airborne operations. (“See the earth below/Soon to make a crater/Blue sky, black death, I'm off to meet my maker”)
This one is for all my nasty evil motherfuckers brothers at MFF, and you nasty bastards fine fellows in the stockade, every one of which I'm sure has this song memorized (I know I certainly do).

High Speed Dirt - Megadeath

Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky
Hurling thru the air
Exhilarating high
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I’m off to meet my maker

Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won’t stop til I hit the ground, I’m on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I’m on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt

Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Pressure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground
Damned if I’ll be dead

Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won’t stop til I hit the ground, I’m on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I’m on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt

Jump or die!

Dropping all my weight
Going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I’m a dirt torpedo

High speed dirt... High speed dirt


Oh and here's another one that I'm intimately familiar with:
189. Do not dare SERE graduates to eat bugs. They will always do it.

Damn skippy. Snakes, frogs, and squirrels too yah pansy.

I know at least one of my regular readers is a track toad, do they have any inspring songs besides "and she wore a yellow ribbon"?
