patriotic songs in orbit?

SEOUL, South Korea

North Korea claims the rocket it sent up Sunday contained an experimental communications satellite that is successfully transmitting patriotic songs back to earth and into space. The official North Korean Central News Agency said, "The satellite is transmitting the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans 'Song of Gen. Kim Il Sung' and 'Song of Gen. Kim Jong Il'."


Well, that's one way to launch a new musical work!

I hope it doesn't bomb. :-)
