schools the songs have been sung by students as part of the celebrations Fajr for decades. Musical genres Some revolutionary songs intentionally mimic folk (children's) songs to make them palatable in non-political settings. An example of this type of song is a lullaby from Hungary (tentative translation follows), which starts off as a lullaby but shifts into more direct propaganda toward the end: The bunch of little bears happily sleepingAnd the pool sleeps on a soft pillowThe swing sleeps too, and the night will be their good blanketDream, my little one, soft dream fliesIt flies to your eyesBe silent, little babyOur dreams were hushed away by the grim despotismAnd only our hunger sung our song. Another example is "Tomorrow Belongs to Me", which is performed by a young man in the movie Cabaret. It starts off as a sweet folk song about nature, and then it becomes apparent that the young man is a member of the Hitlerjugend. Soon the song changes into a marching song, and the lyrics became a fascist propaganda about "rising up." Another kind of revolutionary songs are folk songs that become popular or change lyrics during revolutions or civil wars. Typical examples, the Mexican song "La Cucaracha" and the Russian song "Yablochko" (Little Apple) have humorous (often darkly humorous) lyrics that come in easily remembered stanzas and vary highly from singer to singer. Psychology The effect of some revolutionary songs has been compared to a coordinated attack, inspiring individuals to merge themselves into a cohesive body.
