  • Politically incorrect by today's standards, this WWII ditty voiced in a playful manner the rage of a nation attacked and brought into a war it had tried desperately to avoid.

      The film is backwards because it was meant to played on a Panoram Video Jukebox, a coin operated machine that played a 3 minute film and the viewer watched in a mirror mounted at the top. Why didn't I reverse the image? Because I wanted the viewer to gain the complete experience of watching it correctly in a mirror - so now it's on you to watch it again, but this time in a mirror.

      @@Tubular_dude_20y_ago I heard this song dozens of times before I caught it. It's an incredibly clever line. In one sentence, they say:
      "We're on your side now, England, and we agree with everything you're doing. Furthermore, we invoke our historic ties by noting that both of our flags are red, white, and blue. Neither of our flags include yellow, the color of cowardice, and according to the average American from our time, the color of Japanese skin. Therefore, neither will we."
      It's very clever, but chilling, considering it's a direct foreshadowing of Japanese internment camps.

      @@JamesKmosko I don’t think that’s it. They also mention ‘cowardice’ in relation to Japan, and I think that is the double meaning. People were still pretty mad about the ‘cowardly’ sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. You can find racial attitude in wwII propaganda, but I don’t think this is an example.

      It's a Soundie, a film designed to play in a video jukebox on the 1940's. They were projected on a screen at the bottom of the machine and viewed in a mirror at the top. I left it in the original format rather than reversing it to make the viewer aware of this bit of the history and to offer them the opportunity to watch it in a mirror like the people that watched it in the 40's if they wished. Incidentally the video jukebox was known as a Panaram Machine.
