ain't it ironic that my immediate thought was commentary on the british government, rather than, you know, that part of german history

As an Englishman, I say fair play on a good, clean prank. People forget that the German sense of humour can be even dryer than the British.
I initially completely misunderstood "no deeper message" to mean "there is no message deeper than the one being sent". Like, what message are they trying to convey??
I guess they meant, "don't read into it".
Didn't a British marching band play it for the Saudi King?
(Do read into it)
Imperial March. At least use its proper title.
While I agree. "Darth Vaders theme song" is more broadly recognized than the actual name. Also it might have something to do with the fact that it isn't the only song named "Imperial March", just the most current and popular one.
Reading the headline, I was revved up, and was about to be "that guy," but then I read the article. The first line does state that it's actually the Imperial March 😆
BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s Navy says there was “no deeper message” in the choice to blast the famed Imperial March — Darth Vader’s theme song in the “Star Wars” films
I like this music better
Too risky to click that at work!
Youtube doesn't let you download hardcore porn anymore. It's the Superman theme, which you can find for yourself.
Ooooh, das Übermensch!
Well Germany is where Stormtroopers come from, right?
Wow that's an old one, I have seen that since probably 2005-2006? Did you have it to hand or go looking for it specifically?
Had it at hand. Saw it a couple of days ago in another thread.
oof, I didn't make that connection until you said it. Outfits brought to you by Coco Channel and Hugo Boss 😐
Better choice than Wagner
Idk, Wagner didn't have stormtroopers in his operas.
No .... but he did have Valkeries ride into battle to fetch fallen heros.
