Heh.  I believe the chants were pulled directly from the movie-- I can
discern no difference whatsoever.  I've looked around for Zulu chants
like this (iziGiyo), and can't find any, even after consulting with a
few (random) ethnomusicologists.

Zulu is truly a great movie.  I snagged a military history mag the
other day, and a writer and the Editor listed it as one of the top ten
war movies of all time (one at #2, and one at #6).

"Father, why do they have those tiny spears?"

P.S.: Somewhat topical, my favorite wargaming music is the Conan the
Barbarian soundtrack scores by Basil Poledouris and Carl Orff's O
Fortuna from Carmina Burana (also used in CtB).
