Vietnam Songs

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I'm planning to compile a CD with all these Vietnam tracks like Wagner's synphonie, Good Morning Vietnam and all that stuff.

Now, the problem is that I actually don't know the names of them! biggrin_o.gif

Many of them are also used in BF:V.

I'd be pleased if you dudes could help me out with that!

Oh my god guys! Tank you soo much!

That's even more I expected, maybe I'll have to compile a Vietnam Collection, not just a "Best of Vietnam". wink_o.gif

It'll be hard to find all of them but we'll see.

I was on a ofp Vietnam kick awhile back. I gathered music of the time /actual AFVN radio broadcasts - U.S. and north Vietnamese/ and pilot audio of all kinds of aircraft.

All the music I acquired worked well for the ideas I had. Including some weird choices smile_o.gif

Beach boy's-I get around

Little richard-Long tall sally

House of the rising sun-The animals

Good bye my darling ,Hello vietnam-Johnny Wright

Viva las vegas -Elvis presley.....hehe don't ask smile_o.gif

Ballad of the Green Berets - Sgt. Barry Sadler

Nights in white satin- moody blues

And many others already named above.

If you ever need audio from the Vietnam war I recommend a few sites.

Sounds of vietnam
