1) “Bye-Bye Blackbird,” a popular tune of 1920’s rewritten to demoralize the Commonwealth war effort and undermine Churchill’s war leadership in mid February 1942, also commentary from the British traitor William Joyce, Lord Haw-Haw. 2) “Japanese Sandman,” an old 20’s standard twisted to taunt the British and Americans regarding the loss of East Asian colonies and territories to Japan in early 1942, also the a report of the fall of Hong Kong and fighting in Singapore by the German Radio Service news in English. 3)”You Started Something,” a popular tune of 1941 rewritten August 1942 to exalt the German repulse of the Ango-Canadian raid at Dieppe and the Axis advances in the Caucasus. Also more treasonous commentary from Lord Haw-Haw regarding the fall of France in 1940, Churchill’s steadfast refusal of the German peace offering and a threat of imminent invasion of the British Isles
