This is so good. I was just driving to school & flipping through stations today & heard this song & the part where he is like,"Mama Mama, Forget for your Pies." & I was like,"Oh shit! Im feeling this!"

A more modern song on a similar theme is "Charlie Boy" by The Lumineers. It gets to me much as this one does.

You are so full of shit. I lived though the Vietnam Era from start to finish and I never heard nor read about anyone spitting on an vets, Nor did I even hear people tell soldiers coming home "baby-killers" This is bullshit contrived by the Neo Cons for the purpose of inciting resentment against Anti War movement. After all there is no record or even allowing demonstrations INSIDE airports. What hippie or demonstrators would have the nerve to confront face to face a harden war vet eye to eye bullshit. We did condemn the genocide against he Vietnam people, who suffered the most. They lost 3 million people while the U.S. only suffered 55,000 dead. We threw everything we had against a people who had no Navy, Air force or tactical weapons such as napalm or bunker busters, Yet they won and good for them. If itsnotthesame thing has penis envy that he was not in the war and probably would have shitted on the battlefield if he did get drafted too bad he can't handle the truth!.

"Everything That Touches You" and "Birthday" came out before I met my wife. We have now been married over 40 years and every time I think of songs to describe what she means to me, I start here.

My brother was a Vietnam vet, and I have full and total resentment toward anyone who spit on the vets when they came home. My brother died, in 1980, trying to save another man's life, here in the states. He was a medic in Vietnam, and tried to save lives then. He suffered a lot of PSTD from what he dealt with during the war. I don't care if you didn't support the war. But if you are the type to spit on the soldiers from any war, allow me to give you my two handed, birdie finger salute. I recall this song from when I was a kid, and didn't really understand what it was about, much like I didn't understand why my brother was gone for four years. The song is beautiful, but it brings back memories of what Vietnam vets had to go through, upon returning to their so called country.

They did this live in Santa Barbara in 1967 - at the end, after the last note of Terry's flugel horn, there was a noteable 60+ second silence before the audience actually "came to" and roared into applause.... it was AWESOME!!!!

I am a child of the sixties. My Dad was a WW2 veteran and was against the Vietnam war. Shamefully, I had no opinion until I saw the Association perform this song on the Ed Sullivan show. Overnight, the power of this song opened my eyes. All politicians, especially Conservatives should go to war in the front of our young boys. Let them die first.

JFK was "An inside job"! Why? Because he did not want Vietnam.

sadly underrated band/group. amazing harmonies, great songs, great singers, great lyrics. I still think had Brian lived they would have gotten bigger.

justlikeu2 - the answer is neither. The correct lyric is " and all fell before the bull." I would like to think your screen name of justlikeu2 was inspired by the great Paul Revere and the Raiders song "just like me" but alas it probably wasn't! By the way, I have 12 or 13 songs posted> Go to you tube and type in lennypag and see what'ch you think. Unfortunately, the man who mixed it for me did an atrocious job.The vocals are far too strong - so just turn down the volume down Please make comments, if you wish.

*Requiem for the Masses* This title appeared in my sleep last night. Today I found it on youtube. I don't believe I've ever heard this before and it is truly a stunning piece. Ever get a song through a #dream ?

One of the best songs ever by anyone!! I witnessed them perform this live in 1967 - The lights were turned off - the auditorium alight only by candles - as the players dressed in religious garb swung incense pots while they masterfully performed this song!! Truly a moment in time I'll never forget. Without question, one of the top five bands of all-time and easily the best band to perform at the Monterey Pop Festival !!!!
