Michaelr sez: Joe, I remember the spelling chant in the beginning if the song differently.
Yeah, I was trying to find a recording of that version. I think maybe the only recorded version of that one, was the performance at Woodstock.

Gimme an "F" — "F"
Gimme an "U" — "U"
Gimme an "C" — "C"
Gimme an "K" — "K"

The song, of course, was originally performed by Country Joe and the Fish, so it's likely that the "Fish Cheer" version was first.

I appreciate what you have to say, Jackaroodave. The "boy come home in a box" line is hard, but that was the hard reality of that war. The people back home could get all rah-rah patriotic, but far too many people died needlessly in that awful war.

Did anyone realize that Pete Seeger recorded this song?
