Apologies to our French friends in advance.... just smile as you read it, I only wrote it about you because the wording fits

And for something completely different... The underground hit of 2009, on the 50th anniversary of the song that inspired it... The musical description of how France rose as the new superpower after the Twilight War.
For foreign readers:
'nads = gonads, bollocks, family jewels, etc.
MAD = mutually-assured destruction
World going down in atomic suns
We fought the war but the French won
We fought the war but the French won
We needed glory, now we've got none
We fought the war but the French won
We fought the war but the French won
We'd creamed the Commies, kicked 'em in the 'nads
We had them on the run
They nuked us back, now we feel so bad
We fought the war but the French won
We fought the war but the French won
In the year 2000, tried an end-run
We fought the war but the French won
We fought the war but the French won
Cut off in Poland, we were on the run
We fought the war but the French won
We fought the war but the French won
The French took over and I feel so sad
I guess our time is done
We fought real hard but we lost to MAD
We fought the war but the French won
We fought the war but the French won
We fought the war but the French won
