Rob Zombie also?

Wasn't this song also done by Rob Zombie? I recall finding this song done by RZ, but it sounded exactly identical to Drowning Pool's version. Whether or not that was the fault of the supplier of the track is beyond me. 88.107.51.37 20:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Drowning Pool-Bodies CD Cover.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Iraq Invasion

Can anyone verify what songfacts.com claims? This is listed as one of the "Songfacts" not as a comment: "When the US invaded Iraq in 2003, this was one of the songs they used to break the will of Iraqi soldiers. Heavy metal is not part of their culture, and this was exceptionally offensive and annoying to many of them, especially when played over and over by US forces." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.143.178 (talk) 14:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

"After the American attack on Afghanistan in 2001 in retaliation for the al-Qaida terrorist action against the World Trade Center, it was discovered that the Taliban had forbidden music and dancing. The Coalition immediately made the decision to play music from the various PSYOP aerial and ground radio stations in an attempt to win the trust and gratitude of the Afghan people. The campaign is discussed by Peter J. Smyczek in “Regulating the battlefield of the future: the legal limitations on the conduct of psychological operations under public international law,” Air Force Law Review, winter 2005:

American soldiers often employ creative tactics such as using loud and aggressive American pop-culture at the tactical level to frighten or intimidate enemy fighters. During the first ground campaign in Afghanistan, American soldiers played the heavy metal song "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" by the heavy metal band Drowning Pool as they were being deployed via helicopter."

According to Bing West in No True Glory: A Frontline Account of the Battle for Fallujah, Bantam Dell, New York, 2005:

Before jumping off to the attack, Marine Lieutenant Colonel Brian P. McCoy had the habit of gathering his troops and playing at full blast “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor.”
