War

This song is taken from the computer game Cannon Fodder.

The meaning behind the song refers to the game..

In the game you play as a group of soldiers all trying to fight the enemy. The whole game is kind of a spoof on some of the world war type games.

This did annoy the Royal British Legion, and was considered to be disrespectful as the game also featured the poppy symbol throughout.

This is where the line "War! Never been so much fun" came from as the game was a joke version of war.

The software company that made the game was actually called Sensible Software and despite their name they did make a number of spoof games including Sensible Golf, Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder.

The bit about "Go to your brother, kill him with your gun, leave him lying in his uniform dying in the sun" is reference to the in game play.

If one of your comrades gets maimed in the game, they lie in their current position and every so often you'll hear a "Ahh, ahhh, ahh" which also alerts enemy soldiers to his position - you have a choice you can either leave him lying there dying and screaming and a letting all the enemies know where you are, or finish the job and kill him with your gun to stop him from screaming out and alerting enemies.
