Friendly Enemy/Music

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Friendly Enemies in Music include:

  • The song "Snoopy's Christmas" depicts Snoopy and his archnemesis the Red Baron sharing a holiday toast after a fierce dogfight. (Moved by the distant sound of Christmas bells, the Baron could not bring himself to deliver the final shot, even though he had gained the upper hand. The song is set during World War I and is based on the Real Life "Christmas Truce" of 1914 — indeed, just like in Real Life, it is Germany who extends the olive branch first.
