Mitchell William Miller (born July 4, 1911) is an American musician, singer, conductor, record producer, A&R man and record company executive.

He also recorded a string of successful albums and singles, featuring a male chorale and his own distinctive arrangements, under the name “Mitch Miller and the Gang” starting in 1950. The ensemble’s hits included “Tzena, Tzena, Tzena”, “The Yellow Rose of Texas”, and the two marches from The Bridge on the River Kwai: “The River Kwai March and Colonel Bogey March”. The Bridge on the River Kwai is a British 1957 World War II film by David Lean; based on the novel The Bridge over the River Kwai by French writer Pierre Boulle.

In 1997, this film was deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” and selected for preservation in the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry. Two prisoners of war are burying a corpse in the graveyard of a Japanese World War II prison camp in southern Burma. One, American Navy Commander Shears (William Holden), routinely bribes guards to ensure he gets sick duty, which allows him to …

Hitler, he only had one ball
Mein kampf, was there to hide it all,
himmler, had something simmler,
but goeballs, didn’t have any at all.
But then there, was Mr. Staffenberg.
He was, supossed to stop the “Herd”
He had, only one bomb, but two would’ve ended it all!
So the yankies, went to crush his ball
the Ruskies, were apart of it all…
If only, they could catch this hag
He hid his, lonely ball in the reichstag,

Hitler wasn’t so bad. He had only around 7,000,000 people killed. Now Stalin and Mao; well between the two of them, had over 160,000,000 people killed. But that’s OK, I guess. Hitler was a facist; but Stalin and Mao were communists. So that’s better.

Poerisija I think there could be an argument for the old roman empire, but obviously Great Britain would be in the argument. If you judge a great nation by what their people have accomplished, you have to throw the US in the mix, too.
