Another Reason to Defect

As if things weren't bad enough in North Korea--crazed ruler, famine, etc.--now you can add horrible state approved songs:

SEOUL (Reuters) - For all those tired of silly love songs, how about the new North Korean hit tune, "A girl innovator dashing like a steed."

Many people in the communist state are singing songs glorifying the women revolutionaries helping to build the nation, official media reported Wednesday.

As well as the girl innovator song, popular airs include "Song of coast artillerywomen," "Girl silk-weavers of Nyongbyon" and "I am a front-line soldier's wife," the KCNA news agency reported on International Women's Day.

Songs promoting family values include "Love your wives" and "My mom who worries herself about her child."

"A lot of songs have been composed in the country in reflection of the pride and happy life of the women who are playing a great role in all fields of social life," KCNA said.

It was unclear whether the tunes have a beat that people can dance to.

Sounds like beloved leader is one step away from torturing and oppressing his people with country and western music. His dictatorship must be stopped!

One song could be easily converted to a country western song as follows:

"I am a front-line soldier's wife, so come on over tonight while he's on alert..."

This points out the tragic result of giving women athletes too much testosterone.
