War songs/interesting facts/curiosity?

[[Cerberus] Illusive Man]

So, I was just curious to know about other countries' war songs during the many wars in which they were engaged in a war. It can be from the Napoleonic Wars, to World War I/II and to Vietnam.

Your choice.

I'll start. The title of the song derives from the interesting fact that the Austro-Hungarian troops used supersonic rounds for their Mannlicher M95 (known on the Italian Front as the Ta-pum), thus (ta) then the muzzlefire sound (pum).

Tapum Tapum Tapum - Alpines Regiment Song

The Alpini, (English: the Alpines), are the elite mountain warfare soldiers of the Italian Army. They are currently organized in two operational brigades, which are subordinated to the Alpini Corps Command. The singular is Alpino (Alpine).

Formed in 1872, they are the oldest active mountain infantry in the world. Their original mission was to protect Italy's northern mountain border with France and Austria. In 1888 the Alpini were sent to their first mission abroad, in Africa, a continent to which they continued to return for various wars of the Kingdom of Italy. They distinguished themselves during World War I when they fought a three year long campaign in the Alps against Austro-Hungarian Kaiserjäger and the German Alpenkorps in what has since become known as the "War in snow and ice". During World War II, the Alpini fought alongside Axis forces principally on the Eastern Front and in the Balkans Campaigns.
