Reply to comment by mk09 in TIL that British troops developed a diss song against Nazi leaders during World War II titled "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball." It was quickly picked up and sang by Allied troops. by collarpoppppppin
I had to look it up, because I wasn't 100% sure, but apparently the Dink Dinks are parodying A Bridge on the River Kwai. I'm not super familiar with the history, just a bit of a Spaceballs fan.

Colonel Bogey March is quite common tbf, but it is widely associated and recognised with Bridge over the River Kwai.

In fact they wanted to use the song in the film, but they knew they wouldn't get it past the ratings/censorship board, so they didn't have the words.
