Ya know there's lots of things you expect in war. Carnage, the sleepless nights, but what they don't prepare you for is the incessant use of Fortunate Son. I would hear that song any time I was in a helicopter, or taking a swift boat deep into the jungle that song again.
I think one of the things I like about Family Guy and American Dad, but moreover Family Guy, is how calmly and smoothly everyone else accepts fictional and non-fictional absurdity.
@@Vekikev1 Yes but it actually takes advantage of being random and throwing whatever they come up with. Still, as long as it is entertaining, none wrong about it.
The ending of the 1973 segment parodies that of the film musical version of Hair and the feature song "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)" source: Family Guy WIki
Actually, it's called "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)", as the OP said. There is another song in the musical that is called "Aquarius", but that's at the beginning and this song doesn't parody that.
@@jacklackner567 the guy who directed the original film that this segment was based on, apparently. also did One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, according to the wiki. (You probably already looked it up, by now, but I'm still replying, just in case.)
I love the fact that he's singing pretty good and this is a god damn joke 🤣 You know that you are a bad singer when Peter sounds better without autotune.
He's legit. A huge fan of all sorts of musicals since he was a kid, and you can really tell in the show. And you know those little musical hooks at the beginning and/or end of scenes? Each one is unique. Every episode is scored by a full orchestra because that's what Seth wants.
@Flicks I don't think he even performs outside of his TV shows because he became so focused on them so long ago. He just takes every opportunity in those shows to play with music. If you haven't seen The Orville, it's great for this. Many actors sing on the show.

Matt Dragoneed in the early seasons it was a lot more comedy based. over time it stopped and became well this... i'm not saying the newer seasons are bad but i have to admit pre brian's death family guy was the best family guy.
@@ben_dover97 Yeah honestly i get susrprised nowadays when i see a FG episode with JOKES and humor instead of just mindless rant about something Seth hates ir a character getting tortured
It’s funny how he specifically mentioned Godfather 2 instead of 1 could be dude to the fact that Peter doesn’t care for the first film as seen in season 4(which makes it funnier)
I would not be surprised if they made that entire episode based off of this one song. Like one of the writers thought of this parody and decided to write the episode just to include this one skit.
I first saw Hair 1980 and I've watched it at least twice a year since. Hair, Harold and Maude, and A Star is Born (with Barbara and Kris) are my all time favorite movies. The 3 best movie soundtracks too.
I'm way more impressed by Seth McFarlane, being able to sing well in a variety of character voices, than I am by any boy band that has ever existed. Except mayyyyybe Boyz 12.
Watch the "Hair" musical film, the original segment is extremely emotionally heavy, as it expresses the emptiness that unrighteous wars bring. (We shouldn't have been in Nam, it wasn't our fight. Though the top brass feared the "Domino effect" theory of communism. )
I came from the actual musical Hair but so many people in the comments of the song from the movie were saying I came here from Family Guy and what the hell did I just watch
I think seth acted a bit too much during peter's bits. It sounds more like genuine fear rather than comedical fear. As in fear for actual death. I guess it's just me but still
LMFAO! Omg..."stabbed by lady boy" If i had written this parody, as the plane took off Chris would have screamed "Burger! Burger!(like in Hair) but then the Hamburglar would have popped on screen all like "wrobble wrobble!" LOL!
I like this version of the song, the way they sing it, not the actual words once I looked up what it was a parody of. It made me cry. I wasn't born when the Vietnam war was going on, but it's still sad to know so many of our soldiers were slaughtered.
my uncle was in nam. he was in the air-force. few years ago his body started having a negative reaction to the chemicals/radiation that affected his body over time. let's be positive and remember those who did live. i believe my dad was in nam as well he was a chef for the army.
My Uncle served in Vietnam, he was an infantryman and his squad was ambushed, him and 2 others survived. I don't know the details but I know he survived a crash landing in a helicopter. I think all Vietnam veterans deserve respect for what they went through. All veterans should be respected.
I literally pissed myself laughing when peter was getting dragged onto the plane and his grave part, its so hellin funny😂😅🤣 And for once, Meg looks hot with 70's hair.
I love how this goes from touching to humorously dark
Family guy sucks it needs to die and stay dead as its wank
