"In Dulce Decorum (Extended Mix)" - The Damned
A poem written by Wilfred Owen in 1917 about World War 1 filled with gruesome imagery and condemnation of war, Dulce et Decorum Est, was the inspiration for this 1987 song. The final lines in Owen's poem were taken from another poem,
Odes by
Roman poet Horace, and included these words
- Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. Translated: How sweet and fitting it is to die for one's country.
I Damn Thee (insert obscure movie quote from The Jerk for stupid pun here) : The Damned were formed in 1976. In 1984 they performed on a little British show called
The Young Ones (yay!). This song is from their '87 album
Anything and was used in the
Miami Vice (yippie!) third season episode,
Walk Alone as well as featured on the
Miami Vice II Soundtrack in it's shorter remixed and instrumental form. I never understood why it was played on the show with the vocals but not on the soundtrack. At any rate, this mix clocks in at 5:59.
