<p>At the start of <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, "Colonel Bogey" became a British institution when a popular song was set to the tune: "<a href="Hitler_Has_Only_Got_One_Ball" title="Hitler Has Only Got One Ball">Hitler Has Only Got One Ball</a>" (originally "<a href="Hermann_G%C3%B6ring" title="Hermann Göring">Göring</a> Has Only Got One Ball" after the <a href="Luftwaffe" title="Luftwaffe">Luftwaffe</a> leader suffered a <a href="Groin" title="Groin">groin</a> injury), essentially exalting rudeness.<sup id="cite_ref-Minor_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Minor-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Bridge_on_the_River_Kwai"><i>The Bridge on the River Kwai</i></h2></div>

<p>English composer <a href="Malcolm_Arnold" title="Malcolm Arnold">Malcolm Arnold</a> added a counter-march, which he titled "<a href="The_River_Kwai_March" title="The River Kwai March">The River Kwai March</a>", for the 1957 dramatic film <i><a href="The_Bridge_on_the_River_Kwai" title="The Bridge on the River Kwai">The Bridge on the River Kwai</a></i>, set during World War II. The two marches were recorded together by <a href="Mitch_Miller" title="Mitch Miller">Mitch Miller</a> as "March from the River Kwai – Colonel Bogey" and it reached #20 in the US in 1958. The Arnold march forms part of the orchestral concert suite made of the Arnold film score by <a href="Christopher_Palmer" title="Christopher Palmer">Christopher Palmer</a> published by <a href="Novello_%26_Co" class="mw-redirect" title="Novello & Co">Novello & Co</a> in London.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>On account of the movie, the "Colonel Bogey March" is often miscredited as the "River Kwai March". While Arnold did use "Colonel Bogey" in his score for the movie, it was only the first theme and a bit of the second theme of "Colonel Bogey", whistled unaccompanied by the British prisoners several times as they marched into the prison camp. The British actor <a href="Percy_Herbert_(actor)" title="Percy Herbert (actor)">Percy Herbert</a>, who appeared in <i>The Bridge on the River Kwai</i>, suggested the use of the song in the movie. According to Kevin Brownlow's interviews with the film's director <a href="David_Lean" title="David Lean">David Lean</a>, it was actually Lean who knew of the song and fought during the screenwriting process to have it whistled by the troops. He realized it had to be whistled rather than sung because the World War II-era lyrics (see "<a href="Hitler_Has_Only_Got_One_Ball" title="Hitler Has Only Got One Ball">Hitler Has Only Got One Ball</a>") were racy and would not get past the censors. Percy Herbert was used as a consultant on the film because he had first-hand experience of Japanese POW camps; he was paid an extra £5 per week by Lean.

</p><p>Since the movie depicted <a href="Prisoner_of_war#Empire_of_Japan" title="Prisoner of war">prisoners of war held under inhumane conditions by the Japanese</a>, Canadian officials were embarrassed in May 1980, when a military band played "Colonel Bogey" during a visit to Ottawa by Japanese prime minister <a href="Masayoshi_%C5%8Chira" title="Masayoshi Ōhira">Masayoshi Ōhira</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
