General Ridgway, over the juniors' heads, appealed directly to Kim II Sung and Peng Teh-huai for a change of site to Songhyon, a mud-hut village eight miles southeast of Kaesong.

It sounds something like a Slavic folk tune sung by a crooner with the hiccups. McCoy describes it as a "new foreign import." Listeners, trying to identify it, have variously guessed it to be French, German, Russian...
