Clem Tholet - Another Hitler

 
0
19Copied!
If the world had another Hitler
Then where'd they go this time?
Would they stand aside and let him roll on through?
Would they keep their smug expressions
Or hide trembling in the dark
While some little country stood and fought for truth?

And yet the world attacks my country
For keeping our people free
With all the brave young men that she can find
There's thirty thousand heroes, stand to fight
The Russian tide
And will no one come and fight here by their side?

Well it's only forty years or so since Britain gave the call
And without a question we fought by her side
Will the battle that we're fighting be the one that history marks
As the day when British honor finally died

And yet the world attacks my country
For keeping our people free
With all the brave young men that she can find
There's thirty thousand heroes, stand to fight The Russian tide
And will no one come and fight here by their side, by their side

And if another Joseph Stalin
Or his old big daddy Marx
Should raise their heads in America the free
Would those down home-folks stand idle
While the hammer and the sickle flew
Above the flame that burns on liberty

They forget about the evil
That lies rampant and raging in their homes
They forget about the ghettos and the busing
And the Indian people that they now disown
Is it any wonder that we gag
On the sanctimonious trash they try to feed us
Through the barrel of a gun?

While the nations scrap and scramble
For this piece of land we own
Do they ever stop to think of where it leads
'Cause this battle is not the last one
And we're only stepping stones
And finally democracy will bleed

{Lyrics transcribed by The Ghost of Ian Smith in June of 2019}

Biography

Clem Tholet (1948 – 6 October 2004) was a Rhodesian folk singer who became popular in the 1970s for his Rhodesian patriotic songs. He reached the height of his fame during the Rhodesian Bush War.

Clem was born in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia (now Harare in Zimbabwe) in 1948 and began writing songs while he was an art student in Durban, South Africa. One of his first songs, Vagabond Gun was a category winner in the South Africa Music Festival in 1966. Clem later moved back to Rhodesia to work in advertising. He started singing at Rhodesia’s first folk venue, The Troubadour in Salisbury’s Angwa Street. While performing there, he met Sue Eccles and Andy Dillon. The three formed a trio called The Kinfolk. The group moved to South Africa, and shortly after moving to Johannesburg, South Africa, Sue left the group.

Clem and Andy formed a new group with Yvonne Raff, which they called The Legend Trio. This new trio began singing at the original Southern African “Troubadour”, and were also involved in a number of SAFMA’s National Folk Fests.

Clem married Jean Smith (daughter of Rhodesian prime minister Ian Smith) in 1967.

Clem began a solo career, recording some singles with Art Heatlie at Trutone. Mel Miller, Peter Leroy and Sylvia Stott briefly joined Clem to form a group in 1970, before Clem moved back to Rhodesia in 1971. Clem moved back and soon built up a strong following. He did a series of Rhodesian Television shows, and presented a radio program called Folk on the Rocks, which was on the air for two seasons. The name came from the folk club Clem ran at The Beverley Rocks, where it played to regular packed houses.

A popular star of the annual Bless ‘Em All Troop Shows, and in great demand in the Rhodesian entertainment scene, Clem recorded his first album Songs of Love & War at Shed Studios. Clem wrote and produced the album himself. The album was awarded a Gold Disc. He wrote the soundtrack and songs for the C.I.S. film What A Time and the theme song for a film honouring the wounded troopies of Rhodesia, Tsanga, Tsanga.

He produced a second album at Shed Studios, called Two Sides to Every Story, before moving back to South Africa. After living and working in the advertising industry for many years in Cape Town, Clem died on 6 October 2004 after having suffered from the effects of a debilitating illness for a number of years .

Clem’s last album, Archives was (and is) sold as a fund raiser to benefit the Flame Lily Foundation. This fund raising project seeks to provide funds for the living expenses of elderly former residents of Rhodesia / Zimbabwe living in South Africa, who have been denied their pensions by the Zimbabwe government.
