Spike Jones's song Der Fuehrer's Face is a satirical song that criticizes Nazi Germany and its ideology. The song's lyrics depict the mindset of Nazi supporters who blindly follow Hitler and his subordinates. The first two lines of the song show how the supporters react when Hitler says, "We ist der master race" by chanting "Heil" twice. The following lines highlight how not loving Hitler is seen as a great disgrace, which reflects the extreme nationalism and fascism of the Nazi regime. The song goes on to show how the supporters blindly believe the claims of Hitler's subordinates, such as Hermann Goring claiming that Germany would never be bombed. The song ends by stating that everyone of foreign race will "love Der Fuehrer's face" when the Nazis bring "disorder" to the world.

The is an example of a classic meme that predates the Internet. Absolutely brilliant.
@dbillings
Absolutely. Technologically there are still many things to invent. However, Culturally, its all been done before (although you have to be of a certain age to know this).
@JayAR_YT
Your looking for the word. Government propaganda.
@MULM

@Jagd Panther This was released on January 1st, 1943, back when it was really still anyone's game. The Atom bomb was still a long away from completion, new Panther and Tiger tanks were rolling onto the Eastern Front, and Italy still hadn't surrendered yet. Please stop victimizing Nazis

@Jagdpanther don't let us be beastly to the germans.
