This summer there is only one word in action.
One word in excitement.
One word in weather-powered metaphors.
And that word is STORMFORCE!
Everyone sing along with me:
THE STORMFORCE THEME SONG!
Stormforce! Forcin’ the storm!
We're fightin’ authority,
While savin’ the people!
Jumpin’ out of helicopters,
And landing in the water!
It’s like Top Gun,
Only it’s in Belgium!
It may be the Low Countries,
But we’re flyin’ high today!
In our helicopters,
When we’re not jumping out of them.
Stormforce! Playin’ that Euro Rock
While we’re flyin’ around.
Helps us forget the tragic pasts
That we’re running away from,
Up in these helicopters…
Don’t let the Euro Rock stop!
Until it’s time for the soft-rock ballad
While we’re makin’ sweet love
In the locker room to the sexy medic
She loves our rebellious attitude!
She loves STORMFORCE!
Stormforce! Dubbed into English!
Even the outtakes!
But we’re still gonna rescue you!
With a variety of accents,
All in one helicopter!
Maybe you're feelin' down,
'Cause you were mackin' on your buddy's lady,
The night of his crippling accident!
But don't give up! Never say die!
Not gonna quit! No you, not now!
There's a ship on fire!
You're a maverick, but you still care!
About ships on fire,
And stuff like that!
STORMFORCE it out!
The 40th Squadron—the other 39 are lackin’
Flyin’ our Sea Kings out of Koksijde Air Base
You can’t pronounce it
Because it’s Flemish… or maybe Walloon
Gotta look that up later…
Stormforce! Started as a TV show
Windkracht 10: Koksijde Rescue
Which means "Windforce"
But now we’re STORMFORCE!
Don’t you forget it!
Wreck your car?
STORMFORCE!
Sick on a cruise ship?
STORMFORCE!
Need to crash on the couch for a few nights while you get your head together?
STORMFORCE!
‘Cause when it’s time, it’s time to win!
[BLAZIN' GUITAR SOLO!!!]
We’re Stormforce, stand back!
Search and rescue, day and night!
Skies are tinted, like a Tony Scott film
And don’t be talkin’ no smack about Belgium!
We gave you Tintin, Front 242, The Smurfs, Brueghel, and Dr. Evil!
Not enough? Then here’s some more:
Hercule Poirot, Charlemagne, and Jean-Claude Van Damme!
We invented the saxophone, French Fries, and Beligan Waffles!
Bruges? That's in Belgium!
Brussels? It's our capital!
Home to Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy
And King Albert II!
Battle of the Bulge? In Belgium!
And so is STORMFORCE!
Top Gun, you’re at the bottom!
G.I. JOE, it’s time to go!
Stormforce is all you need to know!
STORMFORCE!
Thankyouverymuch.
Great. Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day.
Thanks 'Stormforce'. Thanks for ruining my Sunday.

Is it sad that I want someone to record that so I can hear it? It'll probably be an overnight YouTube sensation.
