Unforgettable songs in your life

[guno]

This is one of mine , 1968 , last night of boot camp we were allowed to play the CC's radio over the barracks loud speaker

 

[Asclepias]

Keeping with the theme of boot camp. We had one guy that could really sing and we would join in with him to sing this really old song but its a classic.

When we got out to the fleet and was steaming under way, the Skipper who came up through the enlist ranks would play this when we got over 26 knots or pulling into Cam Ranh Bay and Da Nang






When we encounter a Soviet "fishing trawler" off the coast of nam' we played this over the ships loud speakers

 

[Harry Dresden]

1968??......holey shit....like peace man.....

 

[Billo_Really]

Speaking of 1968, how can anyone ever forget this little gem...





...which, for all those who were into the Paul "death hoax", when played backwards said, "Turn me on, dead man!"

I think all this socialist talk is getting a little distorted. With that being said...

I heard this for the very first time in the Acey Duecy Club at the 32nd St. Naval Station, S.D. in Jan '68 just weeks after returning from my second deployment to 'Nam. It has stuck with me across all the intervening years. Burdon wrote it as a remembrance to his grandfather who was a Chaplin in the trenches of WW I.

No, I was an OPS type, an ETN. The only deep draft ship I was on was the Chicago at long Beach my last 6 weeks before separation. June-July '68. The tin can I was on went on a Middy cruse and they needed the bloody racks for those half striper recruits from the Academy. The Navy is a good life if you're single, but not if you're married!

Some of you guys actually heard music in boot camp. It didn't happen at Parris Island in the 50s, that's for sure. One of my favorite artists during my days in the Marines was Joni James. Here are some of her songs:
