song # 0: Help! I'm Iraq

I am working now on the cover of The Mothers of Invention song Help! I'm A Rock.
Being that (I believe) any hope of a substantial audience means some helping out with cues, literal or visual aids, there is an intended moving pictures scenario to go with.

It might go something like this:

EXT - Baghdad, Break of DAY.
WE SEE a panorama of Persian splendor; minarets begin to glow as the sun arises. Mecca-oriented.
WE HEAR the first call to prayer of this day. *Adhan*
We are serene; we yearn for peace. We are called to prayer.

ABRUPT CUT: WE HEAR EXPLOSIONS.
WE SEE what we see on the news, daily.
The shitstorm is raging.

The beat kicks in: Help! I'm Iraq.
(it's ostensibly in 3/4 time; which is not march time...)
