The Air Force's sick song book

Stars & Stripes - Sex assault victim advocates again pointed to an unofficial Air Force songbook with derogatory lyrics about women and gay airmen as a reason for filing a new lawsuit against the Defense Department.

The 130-page book was originally made public by an assault victim in 2012 and is stamped with the playing-cards logo of the 77th Fighter Squadron, which is known as the Gamblers and based at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina. Despite an Air Force crackdown, advocates claimed too little was done and such songbooks are still being used by officers and commanders.

The songbook is part of a continuing culture in the Air Force and military that glorifies sexual violence, said retired Air Force Col. Don Christensen, president of Protect Our Defenders, an advocacy group for military sex assault victims.

“This is something that is used by Air Force officers today,” Christensen said. “These are the commanders who sing songs about raping women as fun.”

The book is professionally printed and bound to mimic an official Air Force publication. The bottom of its pages are labeled “For Unofficial Use Only.”

It includes about 70 pornographic songs — many with obscene titles — as well as some drinking toasts. Titles include Pubic Hair, The Kotex Song, Will You Suck Me Tomorrow, The Hair on Her Diki-Di-Doo, and Bestiality.

Air Force spokeswoman Capt. Brooke Brzozowske said Tuesday that the service is looking into the issue but could not immediately comment on the lawsuit.


The book caused public outrage when it was released amid a growing debate over sex assault and culture within the service. In 2012, the Air Force began what it calls health and welfare inspections to identify toxic work environments and make reforms to ensure all airmen feel comfortable and respected in the their units, Brzozowske said.

The six-month investigation substantiated 16 allegations against eight officers at Shaw Air Force Base who failed to prevent or investigate sexual harassment, condoned or refused to remove sexually offensive material and tolerated on-duty alcohol consumption.

Daily Beast - Some of the lyrics:


Who take two ice picks
Stick ‘em in her ears
Ride her like a Harley
Till the cum comes out her ears
The S&M man, The S&M man
The S&M man cause he mixes it with pain
And makes the world feel good!
Who can take a cheese grater
Strap it to his arm
Ram it up her cunt
And get Vagina parmesan
And here’s a verse from the fighter-pilot song “Bye Bye Cherry,” set to the tune of popular standard “Bye Bye Blackbird”:

Back your ass against the wall, here I come balls and all, bye, bye cherry.
I know I ain’t got a lot, but what I got will fill your twat, bye bye cherry.
I took her to my cottage in the wild woods,
And there I took advantage of her childhood.
Oh my God, it was nice, cherry bye bye.
