For those of you who haven't, BSeed talking about anti Vietnam songs reminded my of one I heard donkey's years ago. I can't remember who did it, though fish sticks in the decaying grey cells. The chorus went something like the following:- And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for I don't give a damn, about Vietnam And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates Don't you fret, dont you cry, whoppee we're all gonna die I know I should know this one so someone will help. Also it kind of leads into anti war songs in general. With the exception of Green Fields/ No Man's Land that has an entire web site devoted to it. Cheers Mick |
