Commandos is an Italian "macaroni combat" war film starring Lee Van Cleef and Jack Kelly and is directed by Armando Crispino. It was released in Italy on 19 November 1968, and rated PG in the United States.
It is the middle of World War II and in the deserts of Africa, Sgt. Sullivan puts together a group of Italian-Americans into disguise as Italian soldiers in order to infiltrate a North African camp held by the Italians. After the soldiers have killed the Italians in their beds, they find a hooker living at the camp. Sullivan's commandos are to hold this camp and its weaponry until an American battalion arrives, all the while these Italian-Americans pretend to be Italian soldiers, often hosting the enemy. Cpt. Valli is a young, by-the-book officer who constantly argues with Sgt. Sullivan, who tells his superior that he has no idea what he is doing. One man on the base is an entomologist who is killed and then things get terrible.
Through fire and water
Through ground and sky
Always ready to fight
Always ready to die
Fast as the lightning
Dangerous as the shark
He is always near
Don't know what is fear
REF x2
When you see the jungle burning
And the sky is turning red
Know the secret of his art
He will come to bang your head
Hear the roar of the engines
Of the angry machines
Marching through the battlefields
Brave company of marines
You won't stay alive
And you will scream in the pain
He will come to give you death
Commando is his name
