SAVAGES FILKS AND PARODIES

Disclaimer:
Not any of these parodies is meant to be offensive. 
No French, Nazis, Dornish, Reachers, Serbs, Croats, or any other collectives were harmed or meant to be harmed by these filks, whose purpose is, like that of the original song, to be critiques of war and discrimination.

I. THE WW2 VERSION OF "SAVAGES": THIRD REICH VS. FRENCH RÉSISTANCE
(Nothing here of mention except a reference to the French Revolution that most of you readers will get.)

COLONEL (OBERST) VON STROHM:
What can you expect
from filthy little Frenchmen?
Their whole idea of liberty's a curse!
They cut their royals' heads!
They're only good when dead!
They're vermin, as I said, or worse!

NAZIS:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
Savages, savages, drive them from our shore!
COLONEL (OBERST) VON STROHM:
They're not like you and me,
which means they must be evil...
We must sound the call to war!
NAZIS:
Savages, savages, leftish sans-culottes!
We must sound the call to war!

(FEMALE) LEADER OF THE VAUCLUSE RÉSISTANCE:
This is what we feared,
the Führer's men are demons,
they just care for revenge on us and greed...
RÉSISTANT I:
Beneath their milky hide,
there's emptiness inside...
RÉSISTANT II:
I wonder if they even bleed!

RÉSISTANTS:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
Savages, savages, killers at the core...
(FEMALE) LEADER OF THE VAUCLUSE RÉSISTANCE:
They're different from us,
which means they can't be trusted...
RÉSISTANT I:
We must sound the call to war!
RÉSISTANTS:
Savages, savages, enemies of freedom!
We must sound the call to war!

(FEMALE) LEADER OF THE VAUCLUSE RÉSISTANCE:
Savages! Savages! Let's go kill a few men!
COLONEL (OBERST) VON STROHM:
Savages! Savages! Now it's up to you, men!
EVERYONE ON BOTH SIDES:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
We must sound the call to war!



II. THE BALKAN VERSION OF "SAVAGES": CROATIAN USTASHE VS. SERBIAN CHETNIKS
(Annotation: The expression "Themselves they cannot cross" refers to the difference between the Catholic and Orthodox versions of the sign of the cross: Catholics like Croats cross themselves from left to right, while Orthodox like Serbs cross themselves from right to left.)

CROATIAN COLONEL:
What can you expect
from filthy li'l heretics?
This happens when confessions are diverse!
Themselves they cannot cross!
What better than their loss?
They're there for us to toss, and worse!

CROATS:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
Savages, savages, drive them from our shore!
CROATIAN COLONEL:
They're not like you and me,
which means they must be evil...
We must sound the call to war!
CROATS:

Savages, savages, dirty cursed heretics!
We must sound the call to war!

SERBIAN COLONEL:
This is what we feared,
the Croats are all demons,
they only thing they care for is their creed...
SERBIAN CAPTAIN:
Beneath their milky hide,
there's emptiness inside...
SERBIAN LIEUTENANT:
I wonder if they even bleed!

SERBS:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
Savages, savages, killers at the core...
SERBIAN COLONEL:
They're different from us,
which means they can't be trusted...
SERBIAN LIEUTENANT:
We must sound the call to war!
SERBS:
Savages, savages, down with those heretics!
We must sound the call to war!

CROATIAN COLONEL:
Savages! Savages! Let's go kill a few men!
SERBIAN COLONEL:
Savages! Savages! Now it's up to you, men!
EVERYONE ON BOTH SIDES:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
We must sound the call to war!



III. THE WESTEROS VERSION OF "SAVAGES": REACHERS VS. DORNISH
(This takes place in the past, sometime between Aegon's Conquest and the conquest of Dorne. The Warden of the South and Princess of Dorne in this story are both my OC:s.)


PAXTER TYRELL:
What can you expect
from filthy little Rhoynar?
Their whole race of lewd sinners is a curse!
Their skins are dark and hot!
They rarely tie the knot!
They're all a wicked lot, and worse!

REACHERS:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
Savages, savages, drive them from our shore!
PAXTER TYRELL:
They're not like you and me,
which means they must be evil...
We must sound the drums of war!
REACHERS:
Savages, savages, dirty cursed heretics!
We must sound the drums of war!

ELIA NYMEROS MARTELL:
This is what we feared,
the Reachers are not people,
they only thing they feel at all is greed...
LORD DAYNE:
Beneath their milky hide,
there's emptiness inside...
LORD YRONWOOD:
I wonder if they even bleed!

DORNISH:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
Savages, savages, killers at the core...
ELIA NYMEROS MARTELL:
They're different from us,
which means they can't be trusted...
LORD YRONWOOD:
We must sound the drums of war!
DORNISH:
Savages, savages, closing in on our lands!
We must sound the drums of war!

ELIA NYMEROS MARTELL:
Savages! Savages! Let's go kill a few men!
PAXTER TYRELL:
Savages! Savages! Now it's up to you, men!
EVERYONE ON BOTH SIDES:
They're savages, savages, barely even human!
We must sound the drums of war!
