Vietnam Anthems ... for the car!

[Ikemi]

So the other day my mate exclaimed that he had found an old CD lying about in the car, which provided a most excellent soundtrack when driving at pace - It was the Good Morning Vietnam OST. There were some half decent tracks on there and thought a few may just appear in my iTunes playlist, but was wondering if the PH collective know of any other Vietnam anthems ...

Y'know, 60's rock with lots of wah pedal work, similar to the ones used in films when several AH-1G Cobras (or Hueys!) fly overhead

Any ideas?

Ride of the Valkyries - not 60s rock though.....
Paint it Black - from Tour of Duty

[Pesty]

Ahhh


not knowing what it was called I googled teh lyrics I remembered and it came up with that

Classic Vietnam song its probably been in all of them.


IIRC there was a Australian TV show 3-4 long episodes set during the Vietnam era. Played all the music of the times. I watched it for the music
