Also, "Knocking on Heaven's Door". Is that the Beatles or the Stones? Please don't hate me for asking, I am not firing on all cylinders today!

Bob Dylan wrote the song though there have been many covers of it (including Guns n' Roses).

Makes about as much sense as hiring a Canadian to sing God Bless America at the Super Bowl...

I was just going to mention Springsteen. And no, we don't understand why a Canadian was singing GBA at the Super Bowl either.

Definitely, and was what I thought of when I saw this thread.

"And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die. "

Country Joe's interesting website

I had to toss on "Masters of War". Haven't listened to it in years, but have always loved the guitar in that tune.

Most of the songs I remember were mentioned in other posts. Here is the one I didn't see here.

Sailors and Soldiers
By Phil Ochs
Sailors and soldiers
uniformed shoulders
they're growing older
over the sea

The troops they are leaving
firmly believing
no reason for greiving

Far from the banners,
Far from the glamour,
Far from the planners,
Who sent them to die

herded like cattle
they head for the battle
their rifles will rattle
over the sea

Too young to be shaving
yet the flags they are waving
for the fury they are braving
over the sea

proudly parading
with their medals they are
but their glory is fading
over the sea

Sailors and soldiers
Sailors and soldiers
Sailors and soldiers
&c...
