South Korea has added the theme song to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly to its arsenal of psychological weapons, according to a video obtained by a recent visitor to the demilitarized zone that separates the two countries.

The haunting melody from Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti western helped launch Clint Eastwood to stardom. Now it’s being launched across the demilitarized zone to taunt North Korean soldiers who could be imprisoned or worse if they were caught watching the film.
