Soldiers serving in Iraq crashed defence ministry computers in London last week after officials downloaded a spoof video the troops had made of a chart-topping song.
The soldiers' four-minute video take of the 1971 hit "Is This The Way To Amarillo" had officers laughing out loud back at London headquarters as they e-mailed copies to each other.
"The video is really good," a military spokesman said on Tuesday.
But computers could not cope with the demand and the e-mail server was paralysed for "several hours" on Friday, May 13, he said.
