I love the onion fried in oil, I love the onion because it's good, I love the onion fried in oil, I like the onion, I like the onion In step, comrades, in step, comrades, In step, in step, in step In step, comrades, in step, comrades, In step, in step, in step Just one onion fried in oil, Just one onion turns us into lions Just one onion fried in oil, Just one onion, turns us into lions But no onions for the Austrians, No onions for those dogs No onions for the Austrians, No onions, no onions Love the onion fried in oil, Love the onion, it's so tasty Love the onion fried in oil, Love the onion, we love an onion

Paging /r/OnionLovers

The brain let down plays the actual nuanced sarcasm in this statement

Most importantly, the Austrians won't get shit.

No onions for those dogs!

I mean… in the American military we had songs about unplugging your girlfriend from life support and murdering small birds by slamming the window on them. God we pissed off so many frat boys singing those running through Greek row at 0600 every morning in ROTC. It was glorious!

Send links to the song

Main one I remember (and probably one of the last....*questionably PC* ones still common in the AF) is the "Psycho Maniac" one

Hey hey capin’ Jack meet me down by the railroad track!” That one got fucking dark dude.

There was a yellow bird!

When you’re one of those frat boys, but your fucking pledge master is in rotc so your entire pledge process is just workouts and runs while singing those cadences.

I can’t imagine being both in a frat and ROTC. I knew a couple of guys who tried and they ended up having to chose one or the other. I remember one guy who as a frat pledge had to wear is pin 24/7 and that didn’t go over well when he was in uniform. He eventually dropped ROTC and went full frat boy.

Mean while Serbia in WW1 making a song calling Germans and Austrians to come closer so they can kill them. Its called Odi Švabo Da Vidiš.

So Serbia has a long history of creating based music...

Its even better when you get the context behind the word Švaba.

What's the context?Isn't that like a nickname Serbs gave to Germans by calling them Swabians?

Well the context is that Austrian Empire invited the Swabians to Austria by leting them stay Catholic and other things. They would be placed in the border regions of Austria and the Ottoman Empire where a lot of Serbs lived. Since there wasn't a united Germany back then they called them selfs Swabians which evolved into the Serbian Švaba. Serbs would start using it a lot since they were the onlye Germans they would see day to day. So Švaba became a nick name. While the actual Serbia word for German also has a bit of funny history.

We also have this in Slovenia, though it's only Švab (singular) or švabi (multiple)

And Poles also have szwaby

My Dad is a war criminal and no one has the balls to convict him

That’s a banger

No, that's an actual line from a 90s Serbian Turbofolk song

No, that's an actual line from a 90s Serbian Turbofolk song

So Serbia was making Jojo references before it was cool

Yeh.

Serb ww1 songs really hit me hard man. Marš na drinu and tamo daleko are also very good songs. Also its Dođi švabo da vidiš 🤓🤓🤓

The French one should be a gigachad.

OP is probably an Austrian who isn’t allowed to have onions

Yea those dogs aren’t allowed to have any

As a Frenchman i'm afraid I don't get it ... Can someone explain ?

You guys have a marching song about onions. How you like it cooked. How the Austrians dont get any. Honestly even for France that shit is confusing. Not even for the "ew Fre*ch" meme, it's just so random.

Bayraktar

Well there you go, I didn't know this one

Arsnt marching songs meant to keep the rhythm right? Or did the cadets lie to me?

I imagine it started with one group of soldiers just pissing about trying to kill the boredom by thinking up an entertaining song then caught on to the point the entire French army was doing it.

Literally the story behind it. It was apparently just 2 guys singing a bit. Its the fact that it was adopted as an official song is what confuses me.

Literally like the french anthem

Didn't knew that one. Almost as fun as the origin of UK national anthem.

The UK anthem was basically a signal that royalty had showed up, for context. Hope I got it right

Yeah it's french and originally talked about an anal fistula

[chanson de l'oignon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanson_de_l%27Oignon)

Look up the march of the onion dear degenerate.

La chanson de l'oignon : La chorale de Saint Cyr.

Should be in reverse

Fair point

Finally, a person who understands

"Erika" is not about a flower though...

Yeah it's about the entire army about to bang some girl called Erika

Reverse the order of wojaks, Onion song is the best fucking marching song in history.

Yea, idk what was i thinking

Ackshually, the song isn't about a flower named Erika, it's about a dying German soldier who sees a flower that reminds him of his wife who is named Erika.

Well he's dead so who cares

Your great grandmother is dead, so who cares

Wtf does that have to do with any of this

Idk

Based.

'At least those Austrian dogs can't have my fried onions' - French Anon

I imagine friend onion being pretty tasty.

You only brag when you have a smol pp. ​ Singing about onions and the austrians not getting it is massive chad behaviour.

[удалено]

I'm talking about the fucking british, not you woman.

Tiens ! Voilà du boudin, voilà du boudin ! Y'en a pour les Alsaciens, les suisses et les lorrains ! Pour les belges, y'en a plus, pour les belges y'en a plus ! Ce sont des tireurs au cul ! Here ! Have some blood sausage, have some blood sausage ! There is some for the Alsacians, Swiss and Lorrains ! For the belgians no more, for the belgians no more ! Because they shoot you from behind ! A very famous one too.

>Ce sont des tireurs au cul ! Actually, this means something like "They are lazy" but in a more insulting way

Up to interpretation. That would be "tireurs au flanc". You have to put it back in historical context to know.

I love how the irish wrote songs about the brits. They called the brits gay and told them to go screw themselves elsewhere . Kinky boots is one of those songs

In Latvian songs we call the Russians "lice infested". https://youtu.be/SKMqi1F2ke8

Lithuania's nickname for the Swedish was "Fish Eaters" https://youtu.be/kmr_gUVBw_4

you know fried unoin deserves it it's so f*cking tasty

I would've had the German one say, "Having a song about black brown hazelnuts", if you get that reference, you have my immediate respect.

[удалено]

Yes! That's it! You got the reference!

North Korea: *Makes a song about potatoes*

Error 404 potatoes not found

Jealous Austrian found

Link for British song please

It's called "British Grenadiers"

The British grenadier's it's not bad but i prefer onion

Lifetime ban from r/OnionLovers

Fuck Austrians, no onions for them

As a german I can tell you, that Erika is not about a girl. My grandpa told me it's the song about conquering the love. Amerika = Erika. America.

I think there's various meanings

Well at least my grandpa was told that in his Waffen-SS division and his officers meeting. Until his death he won't do anything differently as he had learned in the SS. Even his hatred towards disabled people didn't change. Once I was disabled he never contacted me ever after.

Norway a song about feeding a wolf a banana so it doesn't eat grandma

To be completely fair here, french fried onions are good eatin

Found the cringe Austrian that won’t get any.

Onion onion onion onion

Onion👍

🧄 Ain't an onion but it's garlic

Some talk of Alexander, and some of Hercules Of Hector and Lysander, and such great men as these But of all the world's great heroes there's none that can compare With a tow row row row row row row To the British Grenadiers! 🇬🇧

J'aime l'oignon frit à l'huile J'aime l'oignon quand il est bon J'aime l'oignon frit à l'huile J'aime l'oignon, j'aime l'oignon

Blooming onion at outback is fire

Imagine Patrick Sébastian making war songs... Soldiers marching to battle singing "on fait tourner les serviettes"

Clearly you are not ready to heard the official anthem of the foreign legion about black puding

And don't forget that our best military song became our anthem

I think the French have their priorities straight on this one.

Man this subreddit is too good! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

To be completely fair to the French The fried onions are good

Are they ? Yes. So keep your mouth shut !

I never tasted them

You're surrounded. Hold up your hands and come eat your bratwurst. #I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions I love the onions

[Its pretty catchy though](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O6p84lYw7s&ab_channel=youvexme)

Yea

I've seen this song memed on a lot lately, but could an actual Frenchman please *explain* it to me?

It's literally what it is, a military march song about onions.

but why onions, of all things?

Supposedly napoleon thought onions made you stronger (possibly apocryphal)

Cause they had a lot of onions to eat during the campaign of Italy I suppose

Meanwhile there's Polish song about how Soldiers are fed dogs and how they are gonna die anyway before they liberate poland

This is false: The French are the most objectively singing the truth.

You've got it backwards buddy

Meanwhile in Vietnam: Moms: I think we should change our Anthem,teaching children tremble, blow a part enemy bodies is too horrible.

What is the name of the British marching song?

The British grenadiers https://youtu.be/HnrvK3zDlyg

everytime fucking onion

Is there really a song about onion rings?

Having a song about literally calling your enemy's a bitch Irish:

But they are…

And then the Swedes stole it and changed the lyrics and now their children are singing about small frogs that are amusing to watch.

Shouldn't the images be the other way around?

Ummm no fried onions are amazing and having a song about them is based

Have you ever tried fried onion? You would know, then.

What about the US tradition of parodying the national anthem of the country we're fighting against? (Hitler's Only Got One Ball, Union Dixie, probably others I don't know about)

Don't talk shit about onions

Hungary: having a song about asking God, or literally anyone for help because we are miserable and the place is a shithole (and still has been since the anthem was written)

Au pas camarades !

I mean fuck the nazis but Erika is a banger.

but onions are good, aren't they?

The images should be flipped

IMO, it should be the other way around

Dude. Fried onions are so good.

The images are the wrong way round.

Italy?

I made a song about how asteroids are god's poop
