"Going for broke, rock till you choke
It don't matter if you drink or smoke
Speak through the beat, get up on your feet
Sweating like a hound dog, white as a sheet
Don't you be scared, don't you be scared
Everybody terrified, I don't seem fair
What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for
Out of your seat, blind in the heat
Do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet"
Hilarious video; the lyrics ("do the nasty boogie") and the video together so well. Of course, one must not make light of what was a terrible time for mankind. But, I mean, "born to raise hell, we know how to do it and we do it real well"?
I'm pretty sure Lemmy did not intend to parody the Nazis when he wrote this song, but it works, and what is better is that it works unintentionally. In fact, to make things merrier, Lemmy's well known for collecting Nazi memorabilia because "the bad guys have the best costumes". So the circumstantial-ness of the whole thing is quite...elegant.
...bringing up an important question: do people largely like to be lead? and do some tiny fraction of them like to lead? because if you put the two together, you get an equilibrium. Can't be a stable one though. Well unless you're the Congress Party and you happen to exist in India.

i think its true about the majority wanting to be led and a small number wanting to lead; not just in India. most people like their choices made by others. makes life simpler i guess. and then economics says more choice is desirable...
