Ship Building by Elvis costello ( Falklands )
Pills and Soap again Elvis Costello ( Holocuast)
Billy Bragg did a one about the Falklands though the name escapes me I can remember the lyrics.
I think there are much more songs about the Vietnam war then any other War,… the songs from WW2 are normally just sang around that Era not specifically sung about the war.
For e.g Glenn Miller - in the mood
My Old Iron Cross - Harry Champion 1915 (The Great War)
The Tanks that Broke the Ranks - Fanning and Fortune 1916 (The Great War)
Do you know the lyrics ?
Was Glen Miller a famous singer ?
The Wall album by Pink Floyd.
it’s cool!
Motorhead - 1916
Iron Maiden - The Trooper, About the Battle Of Balaclava, during The Crimean War (Only remembered because I bout the two vinyl singles this week)
Rolf Harris
Two Little Boys!
MY favourite War-song has no doubtly have to be Redgum-i was only nineteen.
I recommend it to all you guys, all his words he sings tells you what happened to him and about agent orange and bloodshed.
it’s a cool song! 
.
Thanks mate the song was top of the pops from 1978-1983 and the singer was actually in Vietnam, so hes not just singining about someone else.
I also listen and like them argentinian songs you sent me erwin, thank you
no problem mate ,but they are more rock/pop songs for listen than for the war.
except that of charly with the cannons! :lol:
You got that right…anything from Creedence is great.

About the malvinas war:
Song: Antiheroes Singer: Don Lunfardo
SPANISH:
Aquel 2 de abril comenzó la guerra
con 18 años fuimos a luchar
a Margaret Tatcher se le caía el gobierno
y las Islas Malvinas le cayeron del cieloUn león bien armado defendía su imperio
nuestros pibes descalzos y en medio del desierto
los fusiles no andaban, las cosas no llegaban
y Galtieri chupaba otro Whisky másperdimos tantas vidas por un par de islas
firmando decretos de amnesia general
la mano de Dios no apagó mi dolor
la guerra del olvido fue la que nos mató
la mano de Dios no apagó mi dolor
gritan los antiheroes del '82y un arbitro yanqui dirigió el partido
con la camiseta del pirata inglés
pero esto no es todo mis queridos amigos
con la numero 9 Augusto Pinochet
ENGLISH:
That 2 of April began the war
with 18 years we went to fight
to Margaret Tatcher her government was felling
and the Malvinas Islands fell to him of the skyA well armed lion defended its empire
ours boys and in the middle of the desert
the guns did not work, the things did not arrive
and Galtieri sucked another Whiskey moreWe lost so many lifes for a pair of islands
signing decrees of general amnesty
the hand of God did not extinguish my pain
the war of the forgetfulness was the one that killed us
the hand of God did not extinguish my pain
shout the antiheros of the ’ 82and a Yankee arbiter directed the party
with the t-shirt of the English pirate
but this is not all my dear friends
with the number 9 Augusto Pinochet
NOTE: this is a song,from the persperctive of a common argentinian person,its not for insulting,i know that we have so many wars inside the forum,and i just wanted to show a song without bad intention,it’s also in topic,I put the lyrics in english,because i translated the song,and maybe it has errors.

WW1
It’s a long way to Tipperary
Hang out the washing on the Siegfried Line
I want to go home (where the whizz-bangs won’t follow me?)
On the London Underground
The film “Oh What A Lovely War” is full of songs like this
WW 2
We’ll meet again
Lilli Marlene
Colonel Bogey (Hitler has only got one ball)
Camoflage was sung by Stan Ridgeway, ex of the Wall Of Voodoo
Rosie, don’t take your love to town - ostensibly about a Korean war veteran, but very popular during Vietnam era
Many songs by Stiff Little Fingers are Northern Ireland related (saw them last Friday for the first time since 1981, still bloody great)
My bold… :lol: :lol: HA HA HA thats really funny… can you post lyrics for that song by any chance??
Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty fucker
Cut it off when he was small
She threw it in a chesnut tree
The north wind blew it out to sea
The fishes got suspicious
And had bollocks and scallops for tea
The tune Colonel Bogey is the music the POWs whistle in ‘Bridge Over River Kwai’
