Battle Flag (song)

"Battle Flag" (or "Battleflag") is a song by Pigeonhed (Shawn Smith and Steve Fisk) from their 1997 album The Full Sentence. It was remixed by Lo Fidelity Allstars featuring Pigeonhed for Pigeonhed’s Flash Bulb Emergency Overflow Cavalcade of Remixes album and later included and released as a single from the Lo Fidelity Allstars album How To Operate With A Blown Mind. Though it failed to garner much success in the United Kingdom, it gained modest airplay on both radio and MTV in the United States. It was also extremely successful on alternative rock radio stations in the United States, peaking at #6 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, the only U.S. chart appearance by either Lo Fidelity Allstars or Pigeonhed. The song also reached #36 in the UK.

The song was featured in NBC's prime-time medical drama ER, most notably in the Season 6 episode, "All in the Family" where while the ER staff celebrate Valentine's Day, Dr. Lucy Knight (Kellie Martin) is found injured, stabbed by schizophrenic patient Paul Sobriki (David Krumholtz), when Dr. John Carter (Noah Wyle) enters a room and is also stabbed. The song was used again in the Season 8 episode, "Beyond Repair", where Carter meets Sobriki again. Other uses include season three episode eleven of Showtime's drama Queer as Folk US, as well as a season one episode of The WB's Smallville and a season one episode of HBO's The Sopranos. It also featured in the films Coyote Ugly, Forces of Nature, Mean Machine and Very Bad Things, and the trailers for Charlie's Angels, The 51st State, Drillbit Taylor, and Duke Nukem Forever. The song was also used on the 2000 WWF (now WWE) video tape Eve of Destruction. Additionally, it has been included on countless music compilations.

Flags of the Confederate States of America

There were three successive designs that served as the official national flags of the Confederate States of America (the "Confederate States" or the "Confederacy") during its existence from 1861 to 1865.

Since the end of the American Civil War, private and official use of the Confederacy's flags, and of flags with derivative designs, has continued under philosophical, political, cultural, and racial controversy in the United States. These include flags displayed in states; cities, towns and counties; schools, colleges and universities; private organizations and associations; and by individuals.

The state flag of Mississippi features the Confederate army's battle flag in the canton, or upper left corner, the only current U.S. state flag to do so. The state flag of Georgia is very similar to the first national flag of the Confederacy, the "Stars and Bars"; a prior design incorporating the Confederate battle flag was in use from 1956 until 2001.
