    Back in 1981, my 3rd grade teacher would sing and play this classic on his guitar for his students and we sang our hearts out! This brings back very fond memories of what a great time the 80’s were.

    That song never gets old. Snoopy fighting the Red Barron, then roaming the French countryside after getting shot down and crying while Schroder plays old-time songs on his piano. They just stopped making great stuff somewhere along the way. I am so glad it didn't happen when I was a kid. RIP Charles Shultz, you were a great man who brought joy to millions of kids back in the day.

      @raerncornerproduction6073 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      That is a real debate going on with who really killed the Red Baron. The Australian machine gunner that was shooting at him or the Pilot that was shooting at him and was giving credit for the kill.
      The Red Baron’s final flight took place on April 21, 1918, when pilots from his Flying Circus engaged a group of British planes over Vaux-sur-Somme, France. As Richthofen swooped low in pursuit of an enemy fighter, he came under attack from Australian machine gunners on the ground and a plane piloted by Canadian ace Arthur Roy Brown.
      During the exchange of fire, Richthofen was struck in the torso by a bullet and died after crash-landing in a field. Brown got official credit for the victory, but debate continues over whether he or the Australian infantrymen fired the fatal shot.

    Lyrics
    After the turn of the century
    In the clear blue skies over Germany
    Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
    Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird
    Up in the sky, a man in a plane
    Baron von Richthofen was his name
    Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
    Now, they're buried together on the countryside
    Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
    The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
    Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
    Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
    In the nick of time, a hero arose
    A funny-lookin' dog with a big black nose
    He flew into the sky to seek revenge
    But the Baron shot him down (Curses, foiled again!)
    Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
    The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
    Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
    Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
    Now, Snoopy had swore that he'd get that man
    So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
    He challenged the German to a real dogfight
    While the Baron was laughin', he got him in his sight
    That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
    He tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
    Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
    And that Bloody Red Baron went spinnin' out of sight
    Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
    The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
    Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
    Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
    Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
    The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
    Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
    Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany (last chorus repeated in fade til end of song)

    This song is on the movie Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Leonardo sings it while relaxing in his pool just before a Manson family member crashes thru his sliding glass door and falls into the pool. Leo runs to get his flame thrower when the crazed nut starts shooting wildly into the air. That whole 15 minute scene towards the end of the movie was awesome! 😄
