Didja have to link that lovely scene in the German countryside? I had to go purge myself after that. Not hard to do, since I wanted to see a kinda famous secene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iYbEPZVVIA to look for a remark that I think the "You still think you can control them?" was inspired by. But the clip doesn't have that line, so I'm still not sure.
Meanwhile, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_8dafLxLcI&NR=1# for the real thing by an impassioned Frenchwoman. With multiple verses, which seems to be about as common as the additional verses of the Star-Spangled Banner.
BTW they always leave out the last phrase. A Francophile friend told me in high school that after "abreuve nos silloons" one may call out "Tas de cochons!" or "Bunch of pigs". Which brings us full circle to the posting, doesn't it?
I've never seen Cabaret. However, this scene is truly powerful. Now, we can understand how the Brownshirts in Germany were able to destroy a civilized country. Bush has shown us that with fear and lies, that it's not all that difficult.
