This is just great filmmaking. The sweetness, youth, and freshness of that boy's face and his angelic singing of a beautiful patriotic song coupled with his Nazi uniform and our 20/20 hindsight provide for a great scene that is truly rife with irony. It gives me unpleasant tingles down my spine.

Cabaret is a great film. It would have won Best Picture in 1972 if The Godfather hadn't come out in the same year. And Choggie was right that Joel Grey is the best thing about the movie.

It gave me the best laugh I've had all week. In my book that makes it more than worthy of two little old promotes.

It's hysterical! I've watched it half a dozen times already and I still laugh just as hard as I did the first time. I might have to double promote it soon.

Here we go, via wikipedia: The poem was set to the tune of a popular British drinking song, written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a London social club. "The Anacreontic Song" was already popular in the United States and set to various lyrics. Set to Key's poem and renamed, "The Star Spangled Banner" would soon become a well-known American patriotic song.
