Laibach & Shirley?
So for those of you who know Laibach, you know that one of their most commonly used tropes is to take a seemingly innocent pop song, and in re-doing it Laibach style, revealing the hidden fascist marching anthems contained within. So perhaps it's the 4th of July mix of alcohol and cordite fumes, but wouldn't the Laverne and Shirley themesong be perhaps the greatest track ever to Laibachize? I mean, check out the lyrics:
"Nothin's gonna turn us back now,
Straight ahead and on the track now.
We're gonna make our dreams come true,
Doin' it our way.
There is nothing we won't try,
Never heard the word impossible.
This time there's no stopping us.
We're gonna do it."
etc etc etc. There's most certainly a fascist marching anthem in there!
In any case, because everyone needs some parodic hyper-nationalized Laibach goodness around the 4th:
"Nothin's gonna turn us back now,
