US Soldiers Remake Kesha's 'Blah Blah Blah' Video Into 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Spoof (VIDEO)

A group of U.S. soldiers in Iraq have upped the ante in the music video battle against their brethren in Afghanistan. Aspiring filmmaker Codey Wilson and his "elite step team of volunteers" spoofed all the controversy about letting gays serve openly in the military with a fiercely fabulous music video set to Ke$ha's song "Blah Blah Blah."

The safe for work production is a creative mix of intense half-naked dancing, diverse set pieces, and sly looks. Wilson writes,

Don't give us a hard time for this, please? We're just a few good men trying to enjoy ourselves and get this deployment over with. No one is gay... that we know of. Not that there is anything wrong with that! (political correctness) As a young aspiring film maker I was forced to release this early due to our friend in Afghans high school lip sinked music video. You know you love it. Enjoy it. Spread it. Live it. Lastly, ignore the copy cats that will soon follow and keep your taste for original creativity. Much love from the east!

It remains to be seen if this video can top the Lady Gaga "Telephone" remake by the boys in Afghanistan, which went so viral it prompted this heartfelt analysis from the Washington Post..

In the meantime, Wilson requests that you spread this video far and wide. Please do. Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Just Dance.

If gays are allowed to serve openly, then all same-sex barracks (events, institutions, and facilities) will soon be unconstitutional. A civilized society requires that in certain instances, men, women and gays must be separated out because of an inherent (and admitted) sexual attraction between them. Chivalry, honor, sportsmanship, and civility (just to name a few) are all based in part on this principle. Allowing gays to share same-sex barracks and/or showers will lead to impressionable youth being sexually harassed by fellow soldiers, thus bringing down morale. Allowing gays to serve openly is no different from allowing straight men to share public bathroom facilities intended for young ladies. And by the way, as for the gay marriage debate, if gays are allowed to marry, so should adults who engage in incest? Remember, there is no way of knowing whether these men in this video are gay, straight, or bisexual, other than to take their word that (conveniently) they aren’t gay. If a group of people claim to be an oppressed minority yet there is no way of proving if they are or are not, then anyone in America will be able to claim that they are gay and oppressed. For example, empowered corrupt "Fortune-500" executives will be able to marry one another in order to escape testifying against each other and to avoid paying taxes. The devil is in the details…

The video rocks! It is playful, fun and satirical. And of course, everyone has an opinion about it.
Quite frankly, these guy's (and the girl's too) opinion, as far as DADT is concerned, is whose should matter most.

I would love to see these guys come out, one way or another, in support of or against DADT. The guys I know in the military really dont have an issue with it, but because of the bullsh*t bureaucracy that is in place by military and government officials, they are even afraid to support DADT in fear of labeling and represucssion. This has to stop. Let those who serve chime in on the decision - not just the generationally challenged congress people in DC, or religious leaders, or media pundits. And for god sakes, let them have freedom of expression!!

The fact that this video was supposedly pulled down by request (demand) of the US ARMY is ridiculous and complete hypocrisy by the people who are in charge of protecting of freedoms. It could possibly even be an abuse of power by these officials as there is nothing illegal or inappropriate about the video. Some idiot official(s) just decided to flex political power and make it an issue. Shameful!

Thanks Codey and be safe! :)

Banned? Well it is too late.
When is DADT ever going to be repealed?

Why no mention of our great Liberal hope Senator Gillibrand? According to the Senator's office she is leading the charge, fighting every single day for the repeal of DADT. It could not be that she is not really? Maybe this is all a ruse to look liberal so as to get my vote?

Democratic Party have no excuse while they control both houses.. or do they really not care? Maybe Obama and the Dem Congress hope the Rethugs will win and save them from a vote that dare not say its roll call?

Time for change we can all make love to. And time the Democratic Party stopped delaying and stood up to be counted or admitted they are no better than the Rethugs who at least do not pretend to be rational.

I'm proud that some soldiers will not wait any longer.

Here is another hilarious soldier flick. It's a take on NSYNC's Dirty Pop.

Hey- Codey Wilson here. I wanted this video to get the respect it deserves and compete the lady gaga video. It will be hard to kick start it again since I removed it from my own youtube account due to too many web sites and blogs claiming my intentions were similar to their own desires. You were one of the first to help spread it so I wanted to ask you first to help do so again. I approve of the copy posted by "yoshifan."

Army Blah Blah video was removed by the Army...FREE SPEECH HUH? As Codey's mother I am highly offended that my son has to protect everyone elses rights but his own....something to die for huh? America the free...way to go.

You're his mom? I oppose this stupid war, but pray he returns safely.

this has nothing to do with the war, its about soldiers and their rights as americans. Codey worked too hard on that video for this to happen. This country has become a fight between democrats and republicans instead of what the founders intended it to be, the will of the people. These guys do not get to see their families, get little sleep, and live in 112+ degree weather. Obviously the fact that they're living in hell and risking their lives for us means they do not get the same freedoms they have when they're in America? I'm thoroughly disappointed in the Army for doing this, it's just wrong.

I've fanned you because I'm proud of your son, and I'm proud of the supportive mother that you are. My thoughts are with you as you wait for his safe return.
