FRIDAY NIGHT ALIVE: OKTOBERFEST
Squad anthem
WE HAD A PLAN
A TRUE STORY, UNFORTUNATELY.
4:37 · 1080P · C4LA-SQUAD
A solemn orchestral war epic, sung with total sincerity, over a squad that cannot execute a plan for nine seconds: the shortcut, the pilot, the sniper shot in the back by his own side, an In Memoriam reel with the cause of every death engraved on a plate, and the same Warthog charge attempted three times. Original song written for the film.
