Sink the Bismarck song

[Polak]

A great song from a great movie! Too bad that they edited out the song from the blues brothers movie.

This is an mp3 of 'Sink the Bismarck', the lost song from the Blues Brothers Movie. The song was recorded in the studio, and was performed at Bob's Country Bunker, however this scene was cut from the movie. Because of this, the song was also removed from the soundtrack. This is a Blues Brothers Central exclusive! http://www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/download.php?d_id=77/sinkthebismarck.mp3

It this the ol' Johnny Horton song?

[Polak]

Yes sir!

[Linton]

I think the original is an extra on my dvd.I was quite surprised when I heard it the first time. Iam sure that Kenneth Moore is probablr rolling in his grave.Is there a film clip to go with the BB version?

[Polak]

I don't know, I cant find anything on the webpage. If there is, then you will probably find it on a special DVD edition. But I agree with you, it would be nice to see the scene where they are singing the song.

Didn't the Blues Brothers have Illinois Nazi Brownshirts chasing them around in that movie? That song would have riled them up.

Song: Sink the bismarck
Album: Makes History

In may of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun
The germans had the biggest ships
That had the biggest guns
The Bismark was the fastest ship
That ever sailed the seas
On her deck were guns as big as steers
And shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and foggy night
Came the british ship the Hood
And ev'ry british seaman he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismark the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers
And those shells as big as trees

We'll find that german battleship
That's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys
And spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down

The Hood found the Bismark and on that fatal day
The Bismark started firin' fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismark was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights
They tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people put ev'ry ship a-sail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean
I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismark to the bottom of the sea

We'll find that german battleship
That's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys
And spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down

The fog was gone the seventh day
And they saw the mornin' sun
Ten hours away from homeland
The Bismark made its run
The admiral of the british fleet said
Turn those bows around
We found that german battleship
And we're gonna cut her down

The british guns were aimed
And the shells were comin' fast
The first shell hit the Bismark
They knew she couldn't last
That mighty german battleship is just a memory
Sink the Bismark was the battle cry
That shook the seven seas

We found that german battleship
Was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and
We spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark
And then we cut her down

We found that german battleship
Was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and
We spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark
And then we cut her down
