Can anyone direct me to a good site or list some vietnam songs? I could search....but with 700+ pages in the music thread and the countles bfv threads, it would take forever.

Hmmm, a good place to start is to check out various movie soundtracks that are based during that time period. I started getting into that stuff when I got the Forrest Gump soundtrack all those years ago. You can also try the BF:V soundtrack.

soundtrack to "Good Morning Vietnam"...

soundtrack to apocalypse now had some good stuff on it.

To me, theres a couple of Hendrix songs that I associate with the era...Purple Haze, All Along The Watch Tower, Hey Joe and a couple others....

...Well, those are my favourite from the era.

hey joe sounds like a rip-off of hey jude
"hey juu- um, jooooe! dont make it bad!..."

....

It sounds nothing like Hey Jude. Sit down and be fat. It's the only thing you're good at.

lool

and

hendrix rocks my world

Here's my short list...

Doors - Light my fire -
Steppenwolf - Born to be wild
Lemon pipers - Green tambourine
Fifth dimension - Aquarious
John Lennon - Instant Karma
Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the sky
Three dog night - Mama told me not to come
Edwin Starr - War
Paul McCartney - Uncle Albert
Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe
Steam - Nah Nah hey hey goodbye
Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
America - A horse with no name
Tommy James & the Shondells - Crimson & Clover
Buffalo Springfield - Stop children whats that sound

.......Anything from CCR: Bad moon rising/Who'll stop the rain/Run through the jungle

haha. Watch any vietnam movie or play Bf:Vietnam

Was "surfin bird" a nam era song or something that was made later that just suited the theme?

lighten up, tripps. I was only kidding. stop this multithread flame thing you got going with me, it just ruins threads.

It was made in 1963 so it was a nam era song.

fortunate son

...to be "just kidding" it has to be funny....I saw no funny. Just a really stupid post.

surfin bird was early 60s by the trashmen i think. my dad loved that song. if it hasn't been mentioned before you need the Doors's "The End", CCR's "Run Through The Jungle" & "Fortunate Son"

and so you don't kill yourself looking for it, the buffalo springfield song is called "For What It's Worth"

Google?
