Burn! (Italian: Queimada) is a 1969 Italian-French war drama film directed by Gillo Pontecorvo and starring Marlon Brando, Evaristo Márquez and Renato Salvatori. The music was composed by Ennio Morricone. The fictional story focuses on the creation of a banana republic in the Caribbean, and the events that follow it. Brando plays a British secret government agent, named after the American filibuster William Walker, who manipulates a slave revolt to serve the interests of the sugar trade.
The British government sends Sir William Walker (Brando), an agent provocateur, to the fictional island of Queimada, a Portuguese possession in the Lesser Antilles. Britain seeks to open the island to exploitation by the fictional Antilles Royal Sugar Company. Walker's task is to organize an uprising of African slaves against the Portuguese regime, which the British intend to replace with a government dominated by pliable white planters.
When he arrives in Queimada, Walker befriends José Dolores (Márquez), whom he entices to lead the slave revolt, and induces leading landowners to reject Portuguese rule. Dolores's rebellion is successful, and Walker arranges the assassination of the Portuguese governor in a nighttime coup. Walker establishes a puppet regime beholden to British sugar interests, headed by the idealistic but weak revolutionary Teddy Sanchez (Salvatori). Walker convinces Dolores to recognize the new regime and to surrender his arms, in exchange for the abolition of slavery. Having succeeded in his mission, he returns to Britain.

My beady eye caught it at a gig
Sally is my lover and he's the dogdrummer
I love them both but can I forgive
No, no, a double betrayal
Is something that I cannot forget
She thinks I'm all cool standing here on the stage
But between the sheets useless and Inept
[Chorus:]
Wakey No, Wakey No, Wakey No!
Burn, Burn, Burn, Burn
She looked pretty nice as I went to spend the night
Working on the graveyard shift
Feeling pretty tense I hid behind a fence
Dogdrummer arrived and they kissed
Just imagine what it's like with a length of steel pipe
As me size tens booted down the door
There, before me, naked and horny
They were shagging like rabbits on the floor
Without hesitation I trussed 'em to the bed
With several lengths of baler twine
I was kind of in a dream as I poured the gasoline
On Dogdrummer and that fucking slut of mine
Now I am the Judge and your punishments stern
I sentence you both to burn
Thou is a slut and thee is a liar
Now roast on a porky human pyre
And the moral of this story is...
Don't fuck another mans wife!
