I ran through the jungle for 2 years 1969-1970 chasing Mr Charles with the 7th Marines. This takes me right right there.
Thank you for your service 🙏
@@emilymartinez6961 most welcome, do it again in a heartbeat
Thank you ! My Dad was there 66-69. Still live by Camp Lejeune
@@emanueldjurasinovic1939 as a matter of fact we did find Mr Charley on numerous occasions. Charley and his friends did not like combat Marines
🇺🇸
Song is about the Vietnam War. One of my favorites by them! Deep dive on them is a gift! Thank you.
Actually it's about the proliferation of guns, not the Vietnam War.
Is there a Vietnam movie without a CCR song? 😂
A lot of CCR is about Vietnam.
@@bdmentionHe asked, "Is this song about the Vietnam War?" I answered. So there's no need to be a smartas$ about it!
John Fogerty said it was about gun control, not Vietnam (even though it was used in many Vietnam movies).
The best way I can describe CCR is "Swamp Rock". More than a few of their songs mention Mississippi, Louisiana, Bayou's, swamps and rivers.
Yeah swamp rock but there from El Cerrito Ca.
I love this song.!! The Vietnam war was the first televised war and the Nightly news didn't hold back gruesome facts or footage. This song brings back those chills. Great reaction 🎶🎵❤️🎼
technically it wasnt.. ww2 was filmed also but with no sounds
@@specialopssoldier1 First "televised" war, not first caught on film. Silent, black & white footage of WWII was run in recruitment ads during theatre pre-rolls and the like, but Vietnam was shown in full colour on television. You could turn on your TV in your living room and watch an active combat zone -- that was what Vietnam marked as a first.
@@TehFrenchy29 Exactly!! Thank you.
In my opinion ccr did a great job of capturing the feeling of a soldier and summing up the whole war
It's not about the Vietnam war.
This song totally captures the feeling of young American boys fighting a war in Vietnam, 18 or 19 years old and fighting a war they don't understand in a place totally foreign to them....the jungle!!!
Yet, in an interview with Dan Rather, John Fogerty explained it was about gun proliferation. It's an often misinterpreted song. The jungle is our society.
@@metalmark1214 hey, it was really popular during Vietnam war. Thus, Vietnam era song
It's not about the Vietnam war. It's about the growing fascination with guns in the US.
CCR has a simple but effective template to their music; Fogartys gritty voice, solid hooks and songwriting.
And genius
Sounds easy doesnt it.
Problem is finding the voice
This tune never gets old. Thanks for reacting!
This was from the absolute best album by CCR and one of the best albums ever made, Cosmo's Factory
They are swamp rock, not southern rock which would be in the vein of the Allman Brothers, Lynard Skynard, and the Outlaws.
CCR had a thousand different ways to present the great John Fogerty's voice with groove, riffs, and vibe.
Even though we all associate this song with the Vietnam War (& with good reason), John Fogerty has said he really wrote it about gun proliferation in this country. He'd read an article about it & was alarmed enough to immediately write about it.
Great song, I think one of their best. Another great one is "Green River". I don't think you've done that one. Really a fun song.
💙☮💙
1970 - 2022
CELEBRATING 52 YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE OF "COSMO'S FACTORY",
CCR'S FOURTH STRAIGHT NUMBER ONE ALBUM........... ....
AND THE GREATEST STUDIO-RECORDED ALBUM IN ROCKNROLL HISTORY 🎸
Can clearly see Asia enjoys CCR moving straight from first note. John’s voice is unique and easily recognizable. Keep up great reactions!
‘As long as i can see the light’ is a beautiful song by CCR. Check it out
Good one here, guys. Next up, Susie Q if you haven't done it yet. Just make sure it's the full length version. It's so good.
Sooooo sick 💯 I’m 29 years old and for years now, even as a majority rap and hip hop fan, NOTHING gets me going like some CCR or Rolling Stones 💯💯💯 aw yeah
I highly suggest checking out their version of Heard It Through The Grapevine if you haven't yet. Keep it up ya'll.
Do the long version
Yeah, the long version
They are from the San Francisco Bay Area, they play what is called "swamp rock". When I interviewed Tony Joe White, who is from Louisiana ... said, "We toured with Creedence and we'd tease them all the time by saying, there ain't no alligators in Berkeley man. it was all in good fun"
My favorite from them👍👍👍smooth heartfelt jam here
CCR has always been one of my favorite groups. They don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great. You guys have done a few of there songs already but lots left such as "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Cotton Fields", "Midnight Special", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "I Put A Spell On You", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.
Another excellent reaction!!! CCR may be from SO CAL, but they got the Southern Rock, Soul Sound!!!
CCR is from Nor Cal, El Cerrito near Berkeley.
This is a song about the jungles of Vietnam in the 1960s. He's speaking as a soldier would about the horrors of the Jungle. Venomous snakes all over the place, Tigers that would leap out and maul you to death and booby-traps that are the things of nightmares. I almost forgot, the enemy soldiers (Viet-Kong) who were master jungle fighters. It was either raining day and night, or so hot, that you had all of your strength drained from you. Not a good situation.
Yet, in an interview with Dan Rather, John Fogerty explained it was about gun proliferation. It's an often misinterpreted song. The jungle is our society.
This song
This song
Brings back a lot of memories
Some good
Most bad
Lost two brothers in the war
But the song is about a kid
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost a family member in Afghanistan/Iraq conflict. Maybe we'll learn another way to resolve things one day? 🙏🌈
Sorry for your loss John. From the heart, thank you for your service.
@@marthaz to late never learn enter Ukraine.
CCR, one of my all time favorite bands. They're a regular in my Spotify choices. 😁😁😁
Another great CCR song. This is often believed to be about the Vietnam War, as it referred to a "jungle" and was released in 1970. The fact that previous CCR songs such as "Who'll Stop the Rain?" and "Fortunate Son" were protests of the Vietnam War added to this theory. In response, John Fogerty said: "I think a lot of people thought that because of the times, but I was talking about America and the proliferation of guns, registered and otherwise. I'm a hunter and I'm not antigun, but I just thought that people were so gun-happy - and there were so many guns uncontrolled that it really was dangerous, and it's even worse now. It's interesting that it has taken 20-odd years to get a movement on that position." This position is best demonstrated in this lyric: 200 million guns are loaded Satan cries, "Take aim!" Source: Songfacts
I'll add part of a Klingon line - Blood will paint the way to our future.
Awesome insight, thanks. I know a bit about the history of R & R but I had never heard John explain "Run Through The Jungle" like that. Makes me hear the song much differently.
Thank you. It is certainly associated with Vietnam, I think because it has been used in war movies.
@@mikelundquist4596 Not disputing that it's been associated with Vietnam War by being used in certain movies and video games, but in an interview with Dan Rather John Fogerty specifically said the song is about gun proliferation. It's not the first time a song has misinterpreted and I'm sure it won't be the last.
@@metalmark1214 I wasn't disagreeing with you, just pointing out what I thought was the reason for the association. Certainly John knows why he wrote it.
That mad wailing harmonica and dystopian metal sounds put me right in the midst of the Viet Nam jungles during the war. Fortunately I never experienced it but it's strongly evocative.
about gun proliferation in this country
Classic tune from the classic sound of CCR in a nightmare time of our history. Sad but true.👍
about gun proliferation in this country
One of my favorites from CCR 😊
Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Travelin' Band"!! BANGER!
Creedence always had a deeper meaning to a lot of their songs. I'd suggest listening to "long as I can see the light" check it out and I think you'll like it. Great reaction vid to this one.
I was just slightly too young to qualify for the draft for Vietnam but I was old enough to be guerilla pot farmer. This song ran through my mind every time I was out in the woods tending to my herd. Several times I went running through the jungle... the woodlands, when I heard a noise that I could not readily identify. I did carry a rifle but I did not really want to shoot a person. Neither did I want to be caught in the area of my crops, with a firearm, trespassing on paper company property. Our property was surrounded by paper company planted trees. They only came out about every few years just to see how the growth is going so it was prime territory for crop planting. Plus if it was time to harvest the trees I would see and have time to "run through the jungle" and pull up what there was as it was. The creek behind our property was lonely, a good spot to sit and smoke while listening to "Green River".
It sounds... swampy!
What a groove.
Although 99 percent of people say this song is about the Vietnam War, John Fogerty said that he wrote it about the proliferation of guns in America. Still, it works perfectly with a jungle war as a backdrop, thus its connection with the Vietnam War.
A fun fact about this song (which John Fogerty wrote) is that years later he was sued for plagiarizing himself with the song "The Old Man Down the Road." He let the copyright for "Run Through the Jungle" slip away from him, and the person that held the copyright claimed that Fogerty used the same guitar riffs and overall sound in "The Old Man..." The lawsuit went all the way to the US Supreme Court, and Fogerty won. The court's ruling has been taken to mean that an artist can not plagiarize him/herself -- once an artist creates a work, s/he is free to make variations of that work. That's my understanding, anyway.
Pure talent!!! One of my favorite bands. Fogarty, what a voice!! They originated in Southern CA.
This is considered one of the most classic Vietnam songs.
about gun proliferation in this country
They're from Sausalito California but they definitely had a Southern Rock sound because of John Fogarty and the sound for Run Through The Jungle is pure swamp blues rock . I saw someone said that you should listen to I Heard It Through The Grape Vine and I agree but just make sure you listen to the long version there is a short version that's 3 or 4 minutes long but it leaves out all of the good stuff . Also try Long As I Can See The Light and always remember " Walk slow drink a lot of water and keep your back to the wind 💯✌️😎
John fogerty was born in Berkley, California. ( bay area)Some say swamp rock. John still sings, tours and writes to this day .
I'm so proud that the young people enjoy the songs that I still listen to it in my cd. It makes my heart please with y'all. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
“Long As I Can See The Light” is one of my favorite CCR songs
Born On The Bayou, Green River, I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Absolutely the best band to listen to on a road trip
Young generation doesn't realize how important it is to have a strong leader for America. Vietnam wasn't a popular war and many veterans didn't get do justice for their service.Many Americans were drafted into a war that didn't have any choice in the matter but served their country none the less. God bless all those soldiers who lost their lives. My first cousin died in this war and a uncle who survived but was never the same again. People better start worrying about china before you get dragged into a war because of weak leadership. Great song by the way.🎸🔥❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
The nightmares of Vietnam still run through the hearts and minds of those who lived it!
"Whoa, thought it was a nightmare
Lord, it all so true
They told me, "Don't go walkin' slow
'Cause Devil's on the loose."
Thought I heard a rumblin'
Callin' to my name
Two hundred million guns are loaded
Satan cries, "Take aim!"
Takes me right back to 69. Tet a recent memory. My first year in the service. Definitely about the war, as was Fortunate Son. Even the black dudes back in the day rocked some CCR. Hat tip to the Temps
The word you're looking for is "swampy." CCR are often called "swamp rock," which I suppose is a type of Southern rock.
The harmonica really shines in this song. For some great harmonica sounds, Check out some of John Lee Hooker's stuff. Especially when he collaborated with Canned Heat.
A few year back I had an ex Marine neighbor that spent time in Vietnam. He said this song was was an all too real expression of what it was like over there......
The blues had a baby and they called it rock & roll
Vietnam vet here. This song still makes my pucker string tighten up. It IS a Vietnam protest song!
Yes,Vietnam..I am so emotional when it comes to 'Nam.
Great Song,they have plenty! For another, try their galloping epic, Ramble Tamble, off Cosmos Factory. One of the best deep cuts in their catalog, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
John Fogerty said this song was about gun control. John Fogerty has clarified the meaning behind one of Creedence Clearwater Revival ‘s biggest hits: “Run Through the Jungle” was a statement about gun control. In a new interview with Dan Rather airing on the newmsan’s AXS show The Big Interview, the singer cleared up the myth that the “jungle” in question in the 1970 song was Vietnam.
"The Gun Club" - 1982 made a great cover of this song.....worth listening to !
But not as good as this 70s hit
@@theodoreritola7641 Of course !
There are lots of jungles..
Such a great band!! Guys from Cali sounding all swampy 😃
The Fogerty brothers grew up in San Rafael California( SF Bay area), but had many relatives from Louisiana that taught them a swamp sound. The band headquartered themselves in San Francisco, but recorded in Los Angeles.
Great program. great song, get you dancing, moving, but still deeper, picking up on the hell of Viet Nam, CCR, a big version of Omar and the Howlers.
This sing I think was used in the war movie about Vietnam " Platoon " maybe you guys could react to that Movie on your other channel ?
John was a Vietnam vet from California. One of the best singer songwriters of the past 100 years. He shits literally on Bob Dylan.
This song and so many others by CCR that found favor with our boys in Nam and on the home front.
They are from California, just north of San Francisco. Their sound gave their music the nickname "Swamp Music".
The band being mostly from California.
Many (me included) called their sound "Swamp Rock" :)
Many think it was about the Vietnam war but it is actually about the gun proliferation in the USA in that at the time of the song, there was one (loaded) gun for every man, woman and child in the United States and to walk through the USA is like being in 'nam.
SHE WOULD SMILE THROUGH A SONG ABOUT A HOSPITAL FIRE
Swamp rock is the word y'all were looking for. Puts you in a certain mood. It's about Vietnam by way of New Orleans but... these dudes were from the deserts of California. Can't explain how they got their sound.
Center Field is still my favorite.... please give it a listen if you get a chance.
Swamp Rock (at it's best) 🔥🔥🔥
Creedence was one of america best band in the 60s 70s they had a bit of beatles writing good songs and sold lots of singles in their period
Gritty Blues is the 'sound' you are scrambling for !
They’re actually from Northern California! El Cerrito to be precise. And yes, the song is about Vietnam.
Someone had put this song to a clip of actual Vietnam war scenes, fitting since this is about Vietnam. The impact for this veteran was real.
Yet, in an interview with Dan Rather, John Fogerty explained it was about gun proliferation. It's an often misinterpreted song. The jungle is our society
This was popular with troops in the bush , my three older brothers fought in Vietnam in the sixties,mom was a nervous wreck . They all came home alive . Then I just missed the draft in the early seventies ,loved and hated this song at the time .
One of my favorite bands 😎👏💞
This song always reminds me of watching the Viet Nam war on the evening news when I was a kid.
Wife here..Exactly U2..!!..Everyone thinks CCR is Southern Rock.., However ..they are from California..they meant to have that Bluesy southern sound...During these times bands had to be somewhat "sneaky" with lyrics protesting the Vietnam War
Love ccr, speaking of Southern Rock, please y'all gotta listen to Texas native Ian Moore. Deliver me , Satisfied , Blue Sky, Revelation, How does it feel, Carry on. Another great southern rock band is Gov't Mule.
Swamp Rock! 🙂
Southern rock with rhythm and blues. Who'll stop the Rain is another you should react to. Or anything they do!!!.
Fogarty had just got out of service and this was written about Viet Nam . I was in the Marines at this time.
CCR created their own genre..Swamp Rock...From California but you would never know it..lol... Song is def about the Vietnam War. There were many protest songs at the time.
The first CCR 45 single i ever bought. 🎶👍
Y’all k or I just keep coming back to see BJ. He is adorable. Asia is too beautiful. I had fun
Great one guys check out The Band with Eric Clapton on the last waltz further on up the road
Its backwoods sound cajun style music like delta blues from the deep south . he loves cajun and blues
They always offer that offkilter run through.
National treasures celebrate them
oh yeah, love this song
Love the harmonica.
I often heard the sound of the band as swamp rock.
People think this was about Vietnam but John Fogerty in an interview actually said it was about the proliferation of guns in America and how much it alarmed him. And that was 1970. Imagine if he knew what had been happening in the last 20 years. So sad
You should look up the Viet nam version of this song it is great. "Fortunate son, and Green River". I would call it late 60's Rock
I think the one you guys reacted that sounds similar to the song was Born On The Bayou.
Asia is absolutely right. Grungy is the perfect word for this sound, but that word’s already been taken.
Vietnam and the violence in streets at home erupting during the '60's. 250,00,000 guns a loaded/the population. Fogerty was in tune to what was happening to the vets over there and here at home. HE knew what our boys were going through. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸To him and those that served.
gritty, swampy...Gold!
Lol, I would go with gritty like BJ said. I might also say raw maybe. But I understand exactly also where Asia is coming from with grungy.
He's referring to facing your worst fears and attacking them with your most fearsome game face, but don't look back to who you were before, you're a new confident ferocious adversary now.. a new version of you has been born, let it live and taste blood..
Great C C R song like all...love .
More CCR please! 🎶🌟💖😎
For some authentic true southern swamp music check out the original "Polk Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White.
CCR was the first to do proud Mary. Most people think that was Tina Turner's.? But check out CCR original version please .?
