Nice one Brian!
I haven't seen or heard that intro for years. I love the Man from Uncle as a kid!

I haven't seen the Rat Patrol or Combat openings since I was maybe ten years old!
Ah, to be ten again; fourth grade, and Hogan's Heroes! My friends and I were obsessed with Hogan's Heroes that year! We called the dirt bicycle path through an old orchard the Hammelberg Road. We learned German phrases. We built plastic model kits of Messerschmitts and the Bismark and Tirpitz and Prinz Eugen, not to mention 'Rommel's Rod,' the coolest model car kit of all time! In school we talked about and drew pictures of and played at recess all kinds of things that are totally not allowed today, and which would probably get kids expelled. And none of us grew up to be psychopaths... unless you consider still playing with action figures at our current age psychopathic.
Music something like this was usually playing in my head when the Joes were in action:
Or this:
Or this:
(Plus, Race Bannon looks like a painted-hair GI Joe! Coincidence?)

Thanks Dave!
Race's shirt and pants were made by Mark Cole/66noscar. He also has excellent Race and Dr. Quest painted head figures.
The flocking was done by the excellent (now retired) Flocktastic.

After spinning through The Rolling Stones' Grrr!, I found that "The Last Time" really lends itself to a combat mission.
The opening riff is when the choppers are flying in, against the backdrop of the setting sun.
And of course, the lyrics could have the meaning of 'I could die, I don't know."
I will choose "The Last Time" by The Rolling Stones as the Special Operations Service regimental battle song.

Great choice Ian!
Reminds me of another of my favourite Stones tracks that was used for the fantastic Tour Of Duty TV series

Kimono Troop likes to play music on a boombox when they go into action, a-la Oddball in the film "Kelly's Heroes. They usually play a series of tunes including:

This is a really cool thread. I've had songs I like to hum when I think of my Joes on missions.

Another one I thought of, Five Finger Death Punch's version of Bad Company.
