I Swear to God...
I was listening to a Marilyn Manson song this morning, and so help me, he used the phrase "Swing Heil".

A story of music, and how it set a young man freeâ¦one song at a time.
Filmed before a sold-out audience in Portland, this concert film of the popular stageshow features three decadesâ worth of rock and metal classics performed by a live band.
Rick Emerson relives the comedy and tragedy, the highs and lows, and the isolation and ultimate redemption of a small-town kid transformed by music. From the first time hearing the crushing chords of Led Zeppelin, to the buy-in of Kurt Cobainâs âgenius,â to the sell-out of Metallica, Bigger Than Jesus: The Diary of a Rock and Roll Fan is a love letter to the music that forms the soundtrack of our lives.
Listen up. Be Saved.

At the urging of Brian Lehfeldt, I put away my years-old contempt for Alice...er, Marilyn, and picked up a copy of The Golden Age of Grotesque. It's a sort of evil vaudeville record, and certainly has its high points. The song in question is called "Doll-Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag", which has a weird, Roth-meets-Reznor sort of flavor, and contains the lyric: "I'm bulletproof bizzop and swing heil and I don't really care what gentlemen prefer"
The Phrase "Swing Heil" was actually created by teenagers, called Swing Kids because they listened to swing music, in Germany when the nazis were in power as a form of protest.
Which Little Dude was that??
And yeah, they know. They're making reference to a very bad inside joke that started one night when someone (Rick) was making fun of the final scene in "Swing Kids"
I'm Eli, I was going by the order on the website.
Ah, well I just finished that movie in school and was just waiting to spout trivia about it... I guess.
Eli! I was wondering what happened to you. They show that movie at school, eh? That's awesome. I like that movie despite these guys' opinions.
I've been at my house this whole time, I don't know how you could miss me...
I was about to bug you and Rick about getting a copy of the BtJ script for school, but then I read about the "Holy Trinity", so it looks like BtJ is going to the Drama Regionals.
First off, I didn't watch it in a history class, it was an english class. Because the Holocaust has everything to do with an elglish class. As for the reaction to "Swing Heil" I don't remeber what the rest of the class did, as I was in the front row and it's my first class of the day, but it was probably the most akward scene I've ever seen. Along with this movie, we also watched "The Wave" and two others about the concentration camps.
Why any of these were shown in a english class is beyond me, but I know I can't wait to take my math quiz in science class tomorrow.
My psych teacher showed us great movies. I remember watching "Lady Jane" in his class and also "Broadcast News". He was a cool guy. He came to school dressed as Freud one day for no apparent reason.
