Earle P Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I will even buy you a beer. I did the search to no success, but this is always something I've wondered. Anybody know the story (or even a tall tale) about the origin of "him! him!" when somebody kicks it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHoler Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'll bet The Google could tell you it is from a fighter pilot song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremiahWeed Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I know I've always heard it in the last part of "Dear Mom"... Dear Mom, your son is dead. He bought the farm today. He crashed his OV-10 on Ho Chi Min's highway. It was a rocket pass and then he busted his ass. Him, Him, F--k Him How did he go?----Straight In What was he doing?----169 Indicated? It’s also the last line to the Skydiver's Hymn -Here's to him, to him, to him Here's to him, the best of him all. He eats it, he beats it, he often mistreats it, Here's to him, the best of them all. Him, him, ###### him! Fighter Pilots TDY somewhere: Pilot #1: "I'm missing church today." Pilot #2: "Aw. Let's all sing him a hymn." All: "Him, him. F--k him" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earle P Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 I had heard the Dos Gringos, him, him,###### him what a way to go But at least Hes not jamming up the radio! I wasn't sure if it came from something or someone specific and historical... Or was just folk song based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol-IEWO Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I first heard it as a version of "Throw a Nickle on the Grass, Save a Fighter Pilot's Ass. First verse: I'd like to tell the story about the Thunder Thud, The bad you heard about it, is just a bunch of crud. It took a lot of us up north and brought us back again And the man who speaks against it will hear our mighty hymn. HYMN, HYMN, F--K HIM! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle2002 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) 2 Same. Cheers, Cap-10 3 same...although that version, I believe, is an updated version of the song based on the Thud vs. the Sabre being referenced, but I may be wrong.

Spur38 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The Army Aviation Viet Nam version: "Your going home in a body bag, do da, do da Your going home in a body bag do, da, da, day.. shot in the ass, shot between the eyes...your going home in a body bag, all day long... Say hello to the new guy....hello! asshole! Him, Him, ###### Him"...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 "Nickel on the grass", itself, is a parody/play on "Nickel on the drum", an old song the Salvation Army used to use: http://thechapel.wordpress.com/2010/07/14/salvo-sing-along/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
