What's Going On? An Incomplete List of Songs About Vietnam Compiled by Phil Nel
				Though not all of these songs mention Vietnam by name, most of them do. Those which do not specifically say "Vietnam," do address war either directly ("Give Peace a Chance," "War") or indirectly ("The Story of Isaac"). Despite the attempt at inclusiveness, I know that some songs have been left out -- please accept my apologies if I have omitted a favorite of yours. If the song title is hyperlinked, clicking on it will send you to that song's lyrics. "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?"
