Protest songs needing rerecording NOW: "Bring The Boys Home"
Edited on Fri Apr-30-04 09:49 PM by undisclosedlocation
The impact this song could make today (even in the face of ClearChannel censorship) would be something electric. Feel free to let me know if I'm suffering from "Been on DU too long, preaching to the choir" Syndrome, though. :)
What would be your suggestions?

Edit: For the younger DUers, it was an anti-Vietnam song from 1971 by Freda Payne. Here's most of the lyrics: http://www.top40db.org/Songs/ID_71027.shtml Really astonishing; much better than I'd remembered.

1. A truly awesome recording!
And far better than the played-to-death "Band of Gold," IMHO.

I'd go with War Pigs right off the bat...

on edit.. I thought you were referring to Pink Floyd's "Bring the Boys Back Home".. since you weren't, I'll nominate it too.
