North Korea's Kim Jong-Il commissions love songs

In the days of Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven, European kings and emperors commissioned composers to write symphonies. Clearly, according to News.com Australia, North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Il is looking to the past as a way to inspire his desperately poor nation.

He's commissioning love songs. Is the world, outside of the captive audience of North Korea, ready for tunes such as these?

Song of Coast Artillerywoman

One thing is for sure. These songs will get plenty of airplay in North Korea. Now, if North Koreans get reliable electrical power in their homes, maybe the songs have a chance to become popular in the Stalinist state.
