 (Kyodo) _ North Korean leader Kim Jong Il plans to provide more karaoke machines to the country's military after finding they help boost morale, according to a recent report in the country's official newspaper.
And I have just the song for them to try! Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People

The Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the Workers Party of Korea, quoted Kim as commenting on the plan in its Dec. 10 edition. "I plan to send more song-accompanying machines to the People's Armed Forces," he was quoted as saying.
According to the report, Kim said during his meeting with military commanders in March that "the atmosphere changed completely" in divisions that were provided with karaoke machines. Kim also noted soldiers and officers were competing with each other to obtain high marks on the machines that assess their singing, the newspaper said.

The Rodong Sinmun quoted Kim as saying he provides the military with karaoke machines after making calculations based on the number of karaoke machines that have already been sent as well as those that will be sent in the future, which he writes down in his notebook.
| Right next to the nuke formula and his golf scorecard. |
