Great choice Paula.
Why are there not any songs matching this and it’s ilk today? Or are there?Well, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He’s got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We’re gonna have a whole lotta fun.

Here’s a double link to Shane and Fairytale of New York. Kirsty McColl (1959-2000)
featured with the Pogues and this is a song about New York written by Kirsty McColl and Johnny Marr. Kirst yote and sang songs about about many topics.
Her social commentary songs are subtle, for example ‘Free World.’ But ‘Walking down Madiso’n is overt in its take on capitalism in America.
One of the more hard hitting verses runs:
“They’re in a vicious circle of no fixed abode
The social won’t pay ’em the money they’re owed
When you’ve got no money you can’t pay rent
Hypothermia kills ’cause the system is bent.!Music for non-sung speech by the group Tin Men and the Telephone.

(How was this arrived at? Beginning from looking up ’tilos kimondani’, the Hungarian for ‘it is forbidden to say/speak’.)

Dear All, drunk on power as I am: I’m closing this thread, it is substantially off topic: General should be used for discussion/topical debates.
The forum scope is:
The SPGB web forums are operated by the Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB) and are intended to promote discussion of matters related to the SPGB, the World Socialist Movement, and socialism in general.
Simply posting music videos is not discussion.
I’ve created a new thread in Off Topic, please post any music related links there (unless it is for substantial discussion of the lyrics/context meaning of the song.
