You fight to stay alive and to keep your brothers alive and then you bring it all home with you if you make it
This is not about Vietnam.
As being a retired Vet!!! Brutal to watch and needs to be watch about the evils of war!!! Sometimes a necessary evil many other times an unnecessary evil! Great song about the Vietnam War!!! Good reactions and feelings!!!
Thank you for your service.
This is not about Vietnam.
CCR and a few other bands got me home...Every day was a rollercoaster of strong emotions.. But I came home, a battered wreck, but alive.. Never got into the abundant drugs always available, just 3 things got me through most days...CCR, Warm beer, and letters and pictures from home. I read those letters 5 times a day. And when a few fell apart, it didn't matter. I would repeat them in my head. I was a photographer so there was so much work to do..What a life-changing experience for a boy .. CCR..Midnight Special.. and...Long As I Can See The Light.... are my favorite songs of theirs... Good Job Guys...!! I could write 20 pages on only the emotions scrambling your brains every minute. Seeing the atrocities, the stench of dead things, burning, the Devil burned and melted everything.. Napalm had to be invented by the insane..
Welcome home my brother, navy vet here
Thank you for sharing 😊 Sending you our love 💚
Thank you to all the Vets for their service.
You're welcome. We never heard those words during the Vietnam era.
This song has nothing to do with the war.
@@betsyduane3461 The vid does as does the era. Does thanking vets for their service bother you?
@@ridemfast7625 The video is made up. The song is about gun proliferation in the US.
May God bless and protect our active duty military and our veterans. Y'all be blessed🇺🇲🇺🇲✌️✌️
Dominika, You may be a hippie at heart ☮. We watched footage like this every night on the news. It was horrible when you had a loved one running through those jungles or was a gunner on one of those choppers.
Absolutely horrifying. It was hard to watch 💚
The song is about weapon possesion in the USA, John Fogerty told in a recent interview. Many think it is about Vietnam, nope. Around 1970 he noticed that so many Americans had a gun/fireweapon at home...it gave him an uneasy feeling so he wrote this song about it. The streets are the jungle, never knowing when a shooting starts. He saw the future so to say. The Vietnam link is understandible but not true.
I THINK the link was soldiers listening to ccr during the war and it kinda became a theme song
Andrei & Dominika - A good movie to get the cumulative impression of the Vietnam war is Apocalypse Now.
Thank you very much; very nice insightful comments. Was in Vietnam in '67-68 so have an emotional connection to this band.
I was a child (in the U.S.) when my father was in Vietnam in the late ‘60’s, fighting a confusing conflict. He made it home safe (if anybody seeing this cares?).
It’s a simple protest song. Thx
Vietnam 1971, came back to the world distrusting both left and right.
So, humanity? Or our shared capacity to pursue it?
We just wanted you back!
Fantastic Song! #1 song here in Canada 🇨🇦 it was the B side of the single..Up Around The Bend .A double sided hit.❤❤❤
CCR is just one of the groups from that era that wrote a lot of music about the Vietnam war. That drove a lot of music in the 60s and early 70s. I believe this is one that the soldiers really enjoyed. War is a brutal machine. Occasionally it’s necessary but most of the time it’s not. Another great reaction.👏👏👏👏👏
Memorial music and timeless group. Today people don't understand the power of the Vietnam War on the lives that were destroyed by the circumstances. The soldiers were spit on and called baby killers when they returned from mandatory service. Even survivors didn't return home safely.
One of the many things Democrats have never apologized for doing.
It was a terrible time in history.
The worst time.
Broken hearted PTSD.
So many fine young patriots destroyed by coming home.
Yes it breaks my heart how they were treated and disrespected.
@@RoadDoug yes!
Perhaps because we have become somewhat anesthetized to it. Remember, anyone under that age of 23 has lived in a state of nothing but war. Yet, so little spoken of, compared to how powerfully the Vietnam conflict helped, in part, to drive the narrative at that time.
War is a huge fucking stupid waste of resources, sanity, and human life, but the music that emerges from such conflicts can be an amazing thing indeed.
Make Love Not WAR ! Peace ✌️ ☮️ and ❤Love Gary 😊
What a great tune about such a terrifying subject! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As someone was said “ if you don’t learn from your mistakes you’re destined to do it all again “. America didn’t learn from the debacle that was Vietnam and managed to do it all over again in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American commanders in Vietnam hated this song because of the effect it had on the troops.
Dominika, It's a cruel WORLD🌎, we saw these images on TV growing up, songs like these got me and my friends to stand 🧍♂️ 🧍♀️ up and protest the Meaningless VIET-NAM WAR ! Like you, I am a warrior for Peace ☮️ Can't ignore the inhumanity of WAR! Peace✌️ and Love ❤ this is why I'm the 70 year old forever hippie Gary😊 your reaction is commendable. One last comment CCR Rules!!! 😅
Yes it does 😀
Music is the original time machine
Lodi...will bring you back Dominicka...😂
This was one of CCR's anti-war songs opposing the Viet Nam War that was fought primarily in the Jungles of Viet Nam. A war that was started by the French. And when the French pulled out somehow America was pulled in. It was a war the United States should have never been in. Over 50thousand Americans were killed during this so-called Police Action. Great content and reaction to one of the darkest times in American history.
Note: These are actual footages of the fighting that was going on during the Viet Nam War. This was the first war that was televised every day. As an American during this time, we had front row seats watching the war play out (live) on television.
Love CCR. My all-time favorite.
Our human condition is so filled with contradiction. Fabulous music that with lyrics of war, whether that war is in actual jungle, or as city streets are often called "the concrete jungle". The wars usually make no sense to anybody except the few dozen politicians, businessmen, gangs and drug lord who decide to wage them. Everyone else is just dragged through. But there in the middle of it, people come up with music that helps us live with, digest, and enjoy our lives anyway. Thank goodness for all the musicians like CCR.
People look back at the 60's like it was a more simple time. But we had gone through assignations of JFK, RFK, MLK and of course the war. The later 60's were a lot different than the early 60's. We had the Cuban Missile Crisis while JFK was president, and I was a kid in Miami, FL at the time. I can recall Red Cross tents as far as you could see, set up in Opa Locka Airport.
I am thinking our music absolutely got us through these decades of late 60's early 70's.
Class of '69. Welcome home.
One of their best songs! To be fair they had scores of best songs! ♥ CCR!
Was there, made it home. Can relate sog
Vietnam...a perilous time for our servicemen and women. This one captures it perfectly.
“If we forget history, we’re inclined to repeat it”. Like you, I hate the image of War, but we need to be reminded what’s going on in real life. War is not a game, it is just about survival, your beliefs are out the window. Kill or be killed, it’s that simple. You have to remember, these young men didn’t choose to be there, they were drafted. I love that these songs you listen and react too, make you feel more American. We have Natural born Americans that don’t feel that, they take it for granted. Their free choice, the security, the grandeur that is America. I wish and I pray that someday you can visit my Country. I am a 77 yr. old Native American (Apache) who loves his Country! BTW, the song is great, I live (San José, Ca.) 45 minutes from where CCR got their start ( El Cerrito, Ca.). In ‘67 I was 20 yrs. old going to all their concerts, along with SANTANA, Janis Joplin, Doobie Brothers, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Boz Scaggs, Tower of Power etc. all from the S.F. Bay Area….. SanJoséBob
Thank you for sharing ☺️ Much love from Romania 💚
CCR has nothing but bangers. Born on the Bayou is another one
Oh yeah 👍💚
SPC 5, RA, Tet Counter Offensive Phase 1- 2, QuiNhon, RVN, 1968. Remember it too well
You make me smile. thank you
I lost my father there. He’s still alive today,but he never came back from that war 🙏🇺🇸
🫂
Much love 💚
This song is the end for the A side of Cosmos Factory, definitely a good song choice to end that side, and transition to the B side with “who’ll stop the rain”
This song is not about the Viet Nam war...it's about life in the U.S. then and even now....
Based on what?
@@markmurphy558Yes, it's based not only about the Vietnam war, but about the extreme chaos that Americans were experiencing here at home. The shooting, the marching protesters, etc etc....
John Fogerty is a veteran. He went to basic training in 1966 at Fort Bragg, NC and then on to Fort Knox, Kentucky for 4 months as a supply clerk. He went on to serve 2 years in the National Guard and was discharged in 1968. The Vietnam war influenced some of his writings.
The images in this video match perfectly to what the message is in the song, its about bringing awareness to what was happening over in Vietnam at the time... Not pretty but it is what it is...
US soldiers sent to Vietnam had an average age of 19, Paul Hardcastle has a song called 19 depicting this.
Fantastic pik. Slainte ☘️ 🇺🇲
This was my teen years, the daily six o'clock news were the pictures plus wounded and death count.
Barry McGuire, Eve Of Destruction. It was written for the Vietnam war but it’s still relevant today. I highly recommend it.
Takes me back to Vietnam in the 1970’s
❤❤❤
Reaction a: No soy para ti de Mon Laferte.
Incredible!
Exelete música le han dado como batería a Los CCR❤❤❤❤
war is chaos and chaos is new creation. good is preservation and evil is division. in order to have new ideas one must need a reason to
We can not forget. If this is a reminder , so be it. Stand for our Veterans , you can at least stand. They did what their country asked of them.
This is not about Vietnam.
@@betsyduane3461 I didn't say anything about Mam. Or are you just making a statement for those that don't know. Which land are they talking about filling with smoke?
@@srt8rocketship241 You said vets, sorry I connected it to a song that has been confused for 54 years with Nam, not Mam.
Which land are they talking about filling with smoke? Fogerty explained that the song is actually about the proliferation of guns in the United States.
@@betsyduane3461 it's ok , yes I meant Nam where my Dad and Uncles served and all my friends Dad's and Uncles. Not to get off subject but I've seen first hand what it did to many of them and it ain't always pretty. I still say stand for all Veterans. They deserve that at least. Sorry I just got off my graveyard shift. Nice talkin'.
@@srt8rocketship241 No problem, my uncles fought in WW2 and my great grandfather was at Gettysburg for the North.
you right...whenever I listen to these old songs I see the past... from our lounge, stereo turned up playing these songs on records. . .
As others have noted, this is not a song about the Vietnam War. John Fogerty himself said, “The thing I wanted to talk about was gun control and the proliferation of guns."
You guys are really on a CCR kick. And that's awesome. You'll have to make a CCR playlist.
For a couple fun songs, try...
"Down on the Corner"
"Green River"
I cannot say this is my favorite most of their songs are my favorite ~~ 😃
okay I too always thought this was about the Vietnam War and it is hard to get that out of my mind still but this is what John Fogerty states, 'John Fogerty, the lead singer and songwriter for Creedence Clearwater Revival, has clarified that “Run Through the Jungle” is not about the Vietnam War, as many initially believed. Instead, the song addresses the proliferation of guns in the United States. Fogerty was struck by the statistic that there was one gun for every man, woman, and child in America at the time, which he found alarming.
Today there are more guns than hands, in the US.
Right, bt only 35% of population own those guns, which means some people have lots of guns.
@@fantasycamp4000 It's fine; they will share with others, if needed.
I curse all who brought that war. Great song and reaction
Another great CCR song for you two is “Up Around The Bend”. For something different, try John Fogerty doing his song “Sugar Sugar”. 😁😉👍
Everyone wants peace
I’m with you on that. I don’t really need the sound effects to go with this song the song is awesome all by itself.
Hola chicos, el tema no se relaciona directamente con la guerra, si no, con la posicion del presidente que, a la sazon, estaba gobernando, la jungla era las decisiones del mismo . Abrazos.
The song was not explicitly intended to be about Vietnam, though many interpret it that way. I agree with Domenika that the war video distracts from the music. It works great as a soundtrack if one is making a film about the war, but for enjoying the song for the first time, probably better just to listen to the track on its own.
After you guys have done all CCR-songs, I sugggest we just do another round. #neverenoughCCR
Haha, that's a great idea 😀
great happy music but a very serious issue and video
Hey Andrei and Domenika, for a CCR song different that this one, but still an excellent choice, is "Someday Never Comes." Hopefully. it will be your next CCR reaction!
I would recommend "Angel Flight Tower Remix" but not sure how Dominika would feel about it.
Those images of napalm drops reminds me of that horrid image of the 12 year old Vietnamese girl caught trying to escape “the burn”.
😢
👍👍👍👍
In 1991 the Soviets Union disintegrated. Part of that was the Vietnam War. It happened and therfore it was supposed to happen.
One of the most effective protest songs of the era, the sincerity of the instruments underlying the in-your-face lyrics stand alone. The edited sound effects of battle fire was unnecessary and surely unsolicited by CCR. Yes, this particular song has been included in nearly every Vietnam war film soundtrack since the 60s, but please remember, it was first an inspiring vinyl record release.
✌🏻🇺🇸☮️
Just like CCR, anything by the “EAGLES” is recommended. CCR and EAGLES , best bands of the era!
off topic...I hope you can do reacts to the Swedish group "Abba" . You may have already heard much of their music. I like the song "Fernando" and song called
"Chiquitita" meaning in Spanish "little girl".
Yes, we do know ABBA pretty well. They were very popular in our countries back in the day. Thank you for your recommendation 💚
This is not about the Vietnam War in any way. The only reason people think it is is because it was used in the movies.
Try some Barry white. “You’re my first, my last, my everything”
Listen to Fortunate Son. Another anti Vietnam war song that called attention to the unfair draft system and those who avoided the draft because of their “connections”.
It is hard to watch footage of war, knowing it was/is the reality of so many YOUNG men who were sent to fight at the request of OLD men, many not having the choice! I do have an appreciation for songs that I feel pay tribute to those who served their country in this manner. War is ugly and there is nothing good about it. If women were leaders of every country in the world, would war still exist?
You can find a version that doesn't have this video, it's not original to the recorded song, it doesn't have war noises.
"Run Through the Jungle" is based loosely on the Biblical passage in Revelation 9:16 "Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them." This is speaking of the "kings of the east." It was definitely an anti war, anti violence song, whether John Fogerty wants to admit it or not. As Fogerty wrote "Satan cries they came!" And even if he wants to dispute the song's purpose, there are no real jungles in the US. Opposition to the Vietnam war is definitely how the song was viewed at the time. I know. I was around at the time.
It was a concrete jungle. Ever heard of a metaphor? 🙄
@@79BlackRose Yes I have. But metaphors are interpreted by the listener and that is not how I interpret the lyrics. You choose your own.
@@ToddSauve Metaphors are written by the composer to communicate their message.
@@79BlackRose It works both ways. Not everyone lives in the US or in concrete jungles such as big cities. But suit yourself and enjoy it the way you see it.
It's supposed to match the video because the Vietnam war is what the song is actually about. My only problem was that the loud audio of the bullets and the bombs exploding distracted from hearing the music well in a couple of places. This is obviously a fan-made video, Whoever made it should have reduced the volume or at least limited the wars sounds seeping through so that it didn't overpower the music so much. But still a great video.
Agreed 👍
😊
If you read the lyrics, they are about the war.
The original version minus the added war sounds is better,,but that's just me.
While I think this song is strongly associated with the Vietnam war, I don't think it's about it. I think it was intended as more of an anti-gun song.
I always took it as a voodoo song.
I understand the connection, but the video sounds, the gunfire and explosions, intrudes into the music too much. Nice video, A&D! ☮❤🎶
I don't understand the video. This song has got nothing to do with the Vietnam War. Also videos are a distraction from the song. It is always preferrable to listen to the audio only.
According to Fogerty it’s about gun control
@@gregharmon3797 Correct.
Dominika, it is an anti-war song. You can't ignore disasters because it upsets you. Anti- War songs were saving lives, especially draft age men. Maybe more powerfully, over 1M Vietnamese were killed in that stupid, senseless war. A little discomfort is a small price to pay for ending such a horrible thing.
Stopping Communism is not stupid, nor senseless. Communism is totalitarian, concentration camps, no civil rights, and has murdered over 100 million people worldwide. That evil has not ended. Moreover, anti-war songs never saved any lives. You do a great disservice to soldiers who fought the communist enemy.
@@willieboy3011and the culture war continues. Wont stop over Vietnam until we boomers are gone. I see both sides. Communism was a horrible form of government. Agreed. The war in Vietnam was a Civil War. We killed more Vietnamese than would have been killed had we kept out of it. And we still lost.
I honor those who fought. I honor those doctors and nurses who saved so many under great risk to themselves.
I wish our own government honored them more. We treat our vets abominably.
@@willieboy3011anti-war songs energized anti/war demonstrations, which over several years, did in the end shorten the war, imo. Thereby saving lives. The songs didn’t save lives. The American people turning against the war did. The songs helped.
@@helenespaulding7562 The war was an invasion by the communist NVA into the south Vietnam. The Communist NVA lost well over 1 million soldiers because human life is meaningless under communism. We lost less than 60,000. Communism is evil, and the cause was just.
The people who treated our vets badly then were the anti-war protestors who spit upon them, called them baby killers, and chose to side with the enemy communists.
@@helenespaulding7562 I was around then. listened to plenty of the music. It never turned me away from the fight against the Communists. I joined the military. Nor do I know of one single person who was against communism, heard a song, and then changed their mind. Do you?
The war was over 10 years. I do not think the songs shortened the war one minute. In the end the Communist NVA was willing to lose over a million of their people and continue fighting. The US had grown weary of a faraway war and were no longer willing to continue.
ccr is in my top10 this song is the flipside of bad moon rising in the netherlands john foggerty solo is much better a good tribute to john foggerty (ccr) is joan jett have you ever see the rain i,m a subsriber for many years i hope you react to a dutch female band luv trojan horse from the the 70 and 80,s
The video distracted you from the music.
CCR were a very politically motivated band.
Having heard the song and not seen the video, I really enjoyed it together. But I can totally see how it might be a turn off for a first time listener.
The war noises are not on the single at all in 1970.... so bad story telling....
Yeah. Not an anti war song. Although almost everybody took it that way, and apparently many people still do. This was a poor choice for a video because the song is lost to the sounds of war. This isn’t an official video obviously because the song isn’t about the war. So the song itself is lost to either people thumping their chests at the battle scenes or people horrified at the battle scenes. That’s kind of the problem with any video accompanying a song. Soon your image of the song is only that of the video.
Sorry but this song is not about Vietnam. There are interviews with John Fogerty where is says he didn't write it about Vietnam. He wrote it about US gun control, something that most American don't want, no matter how many of them die from domestic gun crime.
Vietnam.
Not about war. About too many guns in UISA
The video is totally wrong, made 50 years later. And I call it crap.
Yeah, this is not the best video for the song. It's not actually about the war. Plus, when gunshots from the video are heard over the song, that's a big "no" for me.
Would be better without the war killing machine scene so loved by warmongers. They were drafted true (and many volunteered), but can't we enjoy the music without applauding America's endless wars? I like your reactions but the "Vietnam version" is just a bad memory trigger.
Glad that there is no draft today. Hiding under Mom's bed would get uncomfortable for you.
@@sam-wz8tu I'm too old to be drafted, but I was never stupid enough to sign up to fight banker wars all around the globe.
This a anti Vietnam war song.
It'd the Vietnam war which americans lost
