"It's a song that I made up and it was nothing more than something supposed to be funny, based off a catchy line of a movie," he said in Wednesday's Daily News of Jacksonville.

In the four-minute video called "Hadji Girl," a singer who appears to be a Marine tells a cheering audience about gunning down members of an Iraqi woman's family after they confront him with automatic weapons.


And some people can't seem to understand how things like Haditha, Falloujah and Abu Ghraib happen.

CAIR's website includes some of the lyrics.

Here is the link to the video on the Daily News website. The video loads with difficulty and has already been taken off youtube. It will probably disappear from this sitesoon as well.
This is the disclaimer that is below the video:
Online editor's note: The "Hadji Girl" video contains language and themes which some may find offensive and may be inappropriate for younger viewers. Please view at your own discretion.
An accompanying article calls the video "blackly humorous."

Here is the link for the video on ifilm.com where it loads almost immediately.

Black? yes
Humorous? I don't think so.
