Chris de Burgh in Iran

**Garbarsardar** · December 16, 2007, 08:48 AM

Chris de Burgh is going to perform in Iran. That will show them!

Next, we'll send McHammer and Millie Vanilli and finish them off.

One question: Is he really going to sing Crusader for the masses?

Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of jerusalem,
There stood saladin, the king of the saracens,
Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay,
Secure in the knowledge that they had won the day;

A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest,
The christians are coming! he said, I have seen their cross in the west,
In a rage saladin struck him down with his knife
And he said I know that this man lies,
They quarrel too much, the christians could never unite!
:hmmm:

doesn't the geneva convention ban this sort of horrific activity?

As the Pastaran are now out to hunt people with drainpipe jeans Chris de Burgh might end up in jail

Hahaha.

-A note for (mainly American) security forces - if waterboarding don't work, 'Lady in Red' them! - then again, the protests will step up to a whole new level too...

I sense horrible retaliation by the whole of Islam for this. We're doomed...

I think I've heard his name once.
Does one have to know him?

**Blau&Gruen** · December 16, 2007, 03:02 PM

Im listening to the Crusader song and I think Chris will feel at home in Iran. Lol. Seriously the song sounds like it was produced in Saudi Arabia.

I think Im just gonna stick with 'Cousin in Red'.

After the British sailors debacle I thought when I saw the thread 'How did they capture Chris De Burgh? what was he doing patrolling the Shatt al-Arab waterway?'

Lyrics address problems of love but steer carefully clear of anything deemed inappropriate. Touching unrelated members of the opposite sex, let alone dancing with them, is heavily frowned upon in Iran.

Some lyrical ajustments needed then...

Lady in red... is being stoned for inappropriate dress...
