Music in the film:

One band turns up in the dancing girl sequence, but is immediately silenced by the impending chaos, and so are not heard: Lyrics:

The end credits feature a mix of voice and song, beginning with a reprise of the Good Morning Vietnam joke heard in the film:

DJ: "Goooood morning, Shadaloo! Bonjour, guten tag! Nǐ hǎo and salām, not to mention "ojinablway" - (phonetic guess). Now, it's time once again for the "Good Morning, Shadaloo" pop quiz. Do you know what it says on the bottom of Coke bottles in Bison's army? (buzzer sound) Aangh! Answer: It says open other end.

With those jokes over, the song begins. Lyrics as heard in the film:

I'm so alone in a crowd And cry too many tears Yeah Just like a child who's lost but became a prisoner of my fears People come, people go They are hiding in shadows Hiding in dreams Moving in, moving out They are nothin' but strangers (chorus) Strangers who see it Yeah, yeah, yeah My paper heart is so easily torn again and again I never know what the reason may be It just doesn't end. There's a sound in the air While the time goes on slipping Slipping away. In the air, it is everywhere, Nowhere, somewhere So I'm gonna have to say.

Why (Chorus): It's there Tell me why (Chorus:) It is there I don't ever wanna say good-bye (Chorus): Do you ever wonder why? As I look into an empty sky …

(The song fades down and the lines are obscured as the DJ returns. The song burbles along underneath the sexist and ethnic humour):

DJ: Hey, how do you know in this man's, uh, pardon me, in this person's international army if you're in a good unit? Well, it's simple! The C.O. is English, the cook is French, the mechanic is German, the paymaster is Swiss, and the cute nurse in the infirmary is Swedish. And how do you know if you're in a bad unit? Well, the C.O. is German, the cook is English, the mechanic is Italian, the paymaster is French and the cute nurse in the infirmary is a Bulgarian named Boris. (chuckles). Ah, well, whatever country slapped those blue pants on your butt, this next one was a hit wherever you're from!

That cues a new song (meaning there's a lengthy part of the first song trimmed out) …

(Chorus): Straight to my feet To my feet, yeah … Straight to my feet, Yeah … Straight to my feet To my feet, yeah … Straight to my feet (Voice): The music makes me wanna jump (Chorus): Straight to my feet To my feet (Voice, while chorus burbles underneath): Oh everybody get ready We gotta take this thing to another level That other level Get your hands in the air (Chorus: Yeah, yeah) Voice: Now let's count it down (Chorus, counterpointing: feel the beat, it makes you wanna raise your feet) Y'all get ready And be smooth wit it Alright, here we go Three, two, one, now sing (Chorus): Du, duh, duh da Get off that phone Duh, da Get off that phone Duh duh duh da Hey! Give the girl that phone Duh duh duh da Yeah Duh duh duh da Oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh yeah … Yardy yardy yah ... Now it's the type of phone you kick all the time Prime to the Hammer Give my tube a prime Oh my, I get the feelin' that all night long Then I hit it Dancin' up a storm I swore, then the party's on (Chorus): The party is diggin', kickin' 'til the break of dawn (Chorus, obscured: "Party gonna up babe…etc etc) I'm kickin' I'm takin' it straight to my feet (Chorus: wooooh) Yeah, sing that, G-man Straight to my feet When you feel the beat you've got to move your feet (Chorus repeats "feel your feet, hey yeah, etc") Dancin' all night long Straight to my feet Skip-do-dee-doo-dee Straight to my feet Just dip to the beat I said, straight to my feet Just dip to the beet What, I'm dipping! Diiiipping, diiiiping Straight to my feet (voice dives under, as chorus sings) Just dip to the beat Yeah Straight to my feet …

(The song fades out obscuring the last line, as the DJ returns)

DJ: "Hey, how many Bison troopers does it take to change a light bulb?" (Buzzer sound: "Aaangh!") "Fifty-one. One to change the bulb, the other fifty to steal it from a 7- Eleven!" (Laughs) "Got a million of them!"

Another song takes over, starting with a scratch flavour:

Pandemonium, Pandemonium, Pandemonium, Pandemonium, Pandemonium, (Pandemonium, under) See that Catch a vision Feel me in the eyes of unequal High above the plains but still remains equal Livin' on, no matter how fly, there is no sequel I am not a supreme being, freeing people 'Cause many minds are zombified, that's why they never rest (Chorus: "Uh huh") Fightin' for the light and fightin' holes in their chest Merely scavengers, but no one who'll confess But in time they will all undress Livin' in the lost and found, trapped without sound Dappin ass a pound means it's way underground No, calculating cause it's all round Round like a figure, in an old school calligra-phy So figure that you don't wanna see Far greater than the eye so you can fly Cali Used to have a tax on teens, now they got a tax on me But that's if you can find me I'll be trippin' with the scene with the pan-demonium Pandemonium Pandemonium He been causin' more calamities to me than Am-ity Ville horror, real horror, way mo' wicked than Gomorrah Or Sodom, I shoulda shot him but I didn't … (slow fade begins) Right then, to me my man hit it … Just because I'm tenant reason …

(The song fades down, as a computer voice starts up, droning slowly like a wounded Hal, as the camera drifts through the rubble of Bison's destroyed control centre, spotting a rat on the way):

"Solar batteries recharging" Then getting stronger: "Solar batteries recharging." Stronger: "One solar battery on line." Now at normal speed, healthy: "One solar battery on line" "Attempting to activate system" "System activated" A hand bursts out of dusty, broken TV sets, shedding light on the gloom. Computer: "Good morning, General Bison. What is your menu choice for today?" The computer's cursor scrolls through the system's possibilities, settles on World Domination and is rewarded below the World Domination command that fills the screen with a large blinking red button: "REPLAY"

Music builds, and then screen does a TV-style blink out to black …

Composer Graeme Revell:

Composer Graeme Revell is too well known to detail at length here. More Australasian than Australian - he began as a New Zealander - he came to attention in feature film land with his work on Phil Noyce's Kennedy-Miller thriller Dead Calm.

He followed that with the little seen Aboriginal-cop thriller Deadly, and did a number of 'runaway' to Australia productions, bizarrely ranging from arthouse shows such as Until the End of the World to genre pictures such as No Escape, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Street Fighter, then took his undoubted musical talents to largely LA based shows.

Revell had his own site, which can now be found on the WM here.

He has a relatively detailed wiki here, and his management at one point provided this short CV for his career, now on WM here:

Since his first appearance on the film scene with the chilling score to Dead Calm, Graeme Revell has gone on to score films for such high-profile directors as John Woo, Wim Wenders, Robert Rodriguez, Ted Demme, and Michael Mann. He has scored such films as The Experiment, Unthinkable, Days of Wrath, and Pineapple Express. He also composed the music for the political documentary Darfur Now.

Revell’s work can be heard in the popular film adaptation of the graphic novel series, Sin City, as well as in Blow, Grindhouse, The Chronicles of Riddick, Daredevil, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Insider, The Siege, The Negotiator, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Crow, and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.

Proving that his sound can successfully cross both genres and platforms, Revell scored the first season of the television series CSI: Miami. Most recently Revell completed his first film trilogy with the box office hit Riddick directed by David Twohy and starring Vin Diesel. Graeme’s most recent work can be heard in the the Australian TV series Old School and the critically acclaimed Fox TV series Gotham.

A native of New Zealand, Revell received classical training in and French horn, but it was in an Australian mental hospital where his career as a composer began. He incorporated recordings of the sounds and rhythms of patients at the hospital (where he worked as an orderly) into the songs of his band SPK, whose music in turn landed him his first film scoring gig on Dead Calm. Since then he’s written scores for over 100 projects, earning an ASCAP award and 7 BMI Film Music Awards. He was also honored by BMI with the Richard Kirk Award for Outstanding Career Achievement.
