The Royal Guardsmen
Snoopy的眾多裝扮之中
World War I Flying Ace的這個戰爭英雄角色
絕對是最著名的其中一個
如此出名的角色
又怎麼可能沒有人以此為題來高歌一曲呢？
這裡要寫的是一個名為The Royal Guardsmen的搖滾樂團
成立於1960年代美國的佛羅里達州
共有六名成員
是當時頗有名氣的「車庫搖滾樂團 Garage band」
他們在1966年推出了第一張單曲唱片"Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron"
從歌名就知道這一首歌的內容是關於Snoopy和The Red Baron
歌中一直提到Snoopy和The Red Baron
鑑於第一張單曲的成功
樂團接下來再接再勵的推出數張單曲及專輯
分別有1967年的
Return of the Red Baron
Snoopy & His Friends
Snoopy's Christmas
1968年的
Snoopy For President等等
該團於1969年解散
從Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron的歌詞(1)
可以看到中間寫到德軍的The Red Baron是如何的厲害
把八十架盟軍戰機一一擊下
直到Snoopy這位英雄出現
一心想要報仇的Snoopy還是不幸的被The Red Baron擊中
之後Snoopy就和Great Pumpkin討論新的戰略
並再次去挑戰The Red Baron
這次Snoopy和The Red Baron一輪激戰後
終於把The Red Baron擊落
在Return of the Red Baron中(2)
一開始就說到The Red Baron雖然被Snoopy擊中
不過在最後一刻他跳機成功
Snoopy在擊下The Red Baron就飛回去查看
結果看到The Red Baron站在山頂上
Snoopy就飛下去說"Curse you, Red Baron!"
The Red Baron也回敬一句"Ach, du Liebe"
之後the Red Baron大呼說他會再次出擊
勇敢的Snoopy就對自己說"永不害怕 Never fear"
然後Snoopy就飛過大海去找尋The Red Baron的下落
終於Snoopy發現了The Red Baron正在修理他的飛機
Snoopy就降落要和The Red Baron一決生死
The Red Baron很擔心但是Snoopy就很冷靜
之後就是Snoopy和The Red Baron的追逐槍戰
同年The Royal Guardsmen推出了另一首單曲Snoopy's Christmas (3)
內容是第一次世界大戰時的新聞表示The Red Baron又一次出擊
盟軍總師令直接找Snoopy出動要他去對乎The Red Baron
在平安夜
溫度是華氏四十度以下
Snoopy出動去找尋The Red Baron
一輪激戰之後
Snoopy發現機翼上都結了冰就知道大事不妙
突然傳來了聖誕鐘聲
帶來了世界和平的訊息
Snoopy完全被The Red Baron鎖定為目標並一直接近
為何The Red Baron還不開火
我們永遠都不會知道
The Red Baron迫使Snoopy降落到敵後的萊茵河
Snoopy知道一切都快將結束了
這時The Red Baron突然大聲對Snoopy說"Merry Christmas, mein friend!"
之後還要Snoopy和他一起乾杯
Snoopy對The Red Baron致敬
然後他們又一次起飛並知道他們會有再碰頭的一天
這些音樂CD在美國現在還很容易買得到
無論是Amazon.com還是其它音樂網站都可以買得到從新發行的CD
另外就是Youtube上面可以找到The Royal Guardsmen所演出的Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron

還有一個非常好玩又搞笑的「遙控飛機」版的短片
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4FdEXvUC-c&mode=related&search=
這個短片中可以看到竟然有人真的製作了一台The Red Baron所駕駛的紅色三翼飛機
而Snoopy的狗屋戰機實在是非常的搞笑
(1) Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richtofin was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!"
Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight
That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight
(2) Return of the Red Baron
You remember that Baron flying high in the sky
Snoopy shot him down with a gleam in his eye
But that German had leaped from his blood red plane
Just before it burst into a ball of flame
Snoopy circled back to check his kill
Saw that bloody Red Baron standin' high on a hill
Then he swooped down low, shouted, "Curse you, Red Baron!"
The German shook his fist, you could hear him swear, "Ach, du Liebe"
Hey watch out there Snoopy, you're really in a mess
You thought you were through with that bloody Red Baron
But it looks like he's not down yet
Then a cry went up all over the land
The bloody Red Baron would strike again
But brave little Snoopy said, "Never fear"
As he headed for his plane all the people cheered
Snoopy blazed a trail straight across the sea
Searchin' in vain for his enemy
Then he found that German trying to fix his plane
A sweatin' and a busted, 'bout to go insane
Snoopy landed for a pistol duel
The Baron was worried, Snoopy was cool
He fired a shot then started to run
Before Snoopy had a chance to raise his gun
Hey watch out Red Baron, Snoopy is on your trail
One of these days he's gonna make you pay
And you'll go straight to -
Well, watch out Red Baron...
Well, watch out Red Baron...
...And you'll go straight to well
(3) Snoopy's Christmas
The news it came out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied Command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again
Was the night before Christmas and forty below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron and fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings, Snoopy knew he was caught
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below
Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out "Merry Christmas, mein friend!"
The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy our hero saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day
