Singalong with Omar

So TMStudios in Dallas, purveyor of radio jingles, has announced they've created a new, custom package to debut in Dubai--Ramadan jingles.

Ramadan is the Islam holiday of purification and fasting. Observant Muslims spend all day praying, reading the Quran, and not thinking about sex (that's forbidden, there, Omar, so get your mind out of the gutter). Then after sundown they get to eat like pigs. Well, lousy analogy, because pork is forbidden, but you get the idea!

This provides a nice family-style month-long rest, where our burkha buddies get to take a break from planning the beheading and disemboweling of infidels, and also from blowing each other up (along with everyone else in the region) using bombs and explosive devices.

The first Ramadan jingle goes like this (sung to the tune of that famous Arabic song, "I've Been Working On The Railroad" -- all together, now:

We've been planning for the jihad
All the live long day
When we get to do the jihad
We'll bomb Israel away!

Can you hear the loud explosions?
There's body parts everywhere!
We've been planning for the jihad
The Zionists will be scared!!

They'll be playing this one right before the news, in heavy rotation.
