[ldnstuidios2]

[getsomelead]

I don’t know there are 2 to 4 million Cambodians might disagree. 

[THANATOS112220]

I really like the shirt that Edwin Starr used on this video, it just looks so badass.

[mediasire]

So much truth in this song.

[omer2324]

at 2:14 his funk levels almost kill the camera

[AndrewRamsay1000]

If you don't like this song you have a big problem with music !

[diuga1]

Are you sure this video is not from the very early 70s?

[dalotel]

@diuga1 let me google that for you.....no, it's 1969, dumbass.

[Taud]

@dalotel lol calls him the dumbass when you need google to know something... cmon now : P

[diuga1]

@Taud Not to worry, he´s a loser...one in a VERY long line of poverty-stricken sumbags...

[dalotel]

@Taud Look imbecile, the guy asked if it was from the 70s and he didn't need to ask here, he could have found the answer himself. Do you go around asking everyone to think for you too?

[Taud]

@dalotel imbecile? youre the one who had to google something to know it in the first place and than made fun of someone else for not knowing it.... the year of a song, you insult people over not knowing that? you're a joke, quite a funny one at that

[dalotel]

@Taud You obviously can't read.

[Taud]

@dalotel Dont b mad brah

[diuga1]

@dalotel Please eat my soiled underpants, loser.

[dalotel]

@diuga1 You have soiled underpants? Is that by choice, or you just forgot how to take a shit like everyone else?

[diuga1]

@dalotel DUMBASS is your father, that useles wino who´s screwed the fat cow you endearingly call ´mom´ during one of his many drunk stupors...

[dalotel]

@diuga1 I can tell you're off your medication again.

[fizz113]

I like to see the anthem of the pro-war activists.

You can't beat this one.

[76CutlasSupreme]

good god, say it again...

We need more of this kind of soulful sound.

[TheHouseOffice]

RUSH HOUR

'nuff said,

[DanOManno]

Ron Paul could use this song on his campaign trail!

[TheRiver2sea]

At 2.15 and 2.58 the American government tried to take this song off the air, but Edwin just had too much funk and soul to stop them!!!

[fifa3008]

War, what is it good for?

SMASHING THE ARGIES THATS WHAT, and we're gonna do it again soon, come on ENGLAND!!!

[Brods000]

such passion in this song LOVE IT!

[Simm2Dimm]

when this guy was just a baby, his mother dipped him a pop full of SWAG....need i say more

[MrAppleJaxs]

@Simm2Dimm no when he was a baby his mom "dipped" him in a pop full of funk! Never associate him with your crappy new age word Swag, that's reserved for the shitty rap of today as a word to describe talent that isn't there. Edwin has talent.

[basketballsami]

love this song thumbs up if u guys agree

[blakkmagikk360]

IT AINT "YOU ALL" ITS "YALL"

[TheHouseOffice]

@blakkmagikk360 "good God. You all."

[ppipowerclass]

[MegaBumfluff12]

[Afrothunderization12]

GOD DAMN this song is awesome. Amazing though how different it is from the newer one though, its okay but nothing says Edwin Star like the original war

[Seedsof2013]

I keep seeing Obama 2012 ads on this page. Obama, you've betrayed us all. You've shown exactly where you stand on war and empire. You don't belong on this page.

Search: "cnn children libya"

[joy7353]

@Seedsof2013 Obama simply inherited the "betrayal" - please don't use this wonderful song for YOUR political blinders...

[souljaboogie]

[quillber]

[Avatarbatlemecha]

peace cant exist without war and war cannot exist without peace, therefore war is a dangerous necessity

plus they can sing this song to the communists, fascists, and the terrorists and see how fast they realize the meaning of peace and war or better yet ying and yang

[coguar0]

@Avatarbatlemecha ratio bullshit/words .97

[Avatarbatlemecha]

@coguar0 sad truth, wish peace was obtained in better way but look at history

[grazza88]

You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace.

[Taud]

Great message here

[Krbydav328]

@Taud Peace, world peace! :)

[Refilco]

[1950miker]

Used sit at the NCO Club at Cherry Point and sing this song and get drunk. We where "grunts" from the Nam spent my time with 2/27 and 2/9 in the Nam

[SleepyLovely]

I LOVE this song. The song tells the tru meaning of WAR ALL ITS GOOD FOR IS NOTHING.

All ur doing its killing people for nothing but blood money. Evil ppl will burn in hell for taking ppl lives away for them. Plus ppl losing their family over it.

[TowchUnder]

Maioria do Reconhecimento veio por causa da Hora do Rush .

[distractos]

This whats up!

[Simphany]

What brought me here? Boy Meets World. BAM. bet none of yous know what I'm talking about

[queenisdabomb1]

@Simphany hahahahaha omg i love that part so much!!! i loved corey's dance with the pelvis thrust lolll

[GlacialRoar]

I used to play Battlefield Vietnam and this song was on it. Such a good game, beats the hell out of any call of duty past or present haha

[TheMrwacko55]

stopping hitler and saving jews. what did he think it was for. what an idiot. god this song pisses me off

[GlacialRoar]

@TheMrwacko55 I believe this song was made for Vietnam, which was a pointless war. Vietnam was none of our business and only got our soldiers killed, so that war had no use. I am a firm believer in war and it's necessity, but even you have to agree, that Vietnam was pointless.

[Zant5976]

@GlacialRoar As bad as war is, it does help economies...

[123sugerrush]

@Zant5976 wooooooooah bro fuck i know someone already replied to your comment but fuck how stupid can u be how the fuuuck does it help economies it destroys it- fuck go to school get some fuggin facts right retard

[Zant5976]

@123sugerrush War boosts the economy because it allows us to use our surplus of resources. Jobs are opened, allowing more people to recieve money-- and circulate it. Think about it for a minute, after WWI, the US was in The Great Depression, but once WWII hit, we boosted ourselves into becoming one of the world's superpowers-- along with Russia.

If i didn't go to school and listen to my teacher say these things, i wouldn't have mentioned it.

[davidls11]

@Zant5976 And 9/11 provided jobs for fire fighters and construction workers. Is that what you're saying?

[Zant5976]

@davidls11 9/11 was not a war, it was a terrorist attack.

[lmurphy1219]

@Zant5976 ...not in 1969...it was WAR.....in Vietnam. They called it a "police action"...but it was all out WAR......

[La77a]

@Zant5976 The industrial war machine is a broken model, that has been repeated UNsuccessfully for ideological reasons or simply for the procurement of resources for hundreds of years. Did your teacher tell you that? All war does is keep resources in the hands of the old guard who politically and economically will lose it ANYWAY. It's ultimately selfish and counterproductive. Tell the population of Iraq that war was conducive to a successful economy, they may disagree - rather violently.

[d809]

@GlacialRoar wtf man, how can war be a NECESSITY, the day we have no more war, it's when we'll give the next step in human evolution.

[TheMrwacko55]

@GlacialRoar i know it was for nam. it was released in the late 60's, but this one song made a huge impact in turning the american public against the military. the war was to stop the spread of communism. if u didnt know, the us army actually won the tet offensive in the end but the goddam nutjob leftwing media reported that the North Vietnamese won. my friend is 100% vietnamese and his grandad was killed in an american bombing run so im great at these arguments.

[d809]

@TheMrwacko55 if hitler wouldn't have started a war, it wouldn't have been needed for any country to involve in that nonsense. So yeah, war IS stupid. Humans are the only living beings in the planet that kill each other for something that's not survival, but for politics, greed, or any other stupid obsession that crosses a leader's mind...

[TheMrwacko55]

damn hippies

[Wasp1984]

Yeah we black people can fuckin sing. Shame on the world for not knowing this.

[dejavusgbcn]

[almendrabar]

[izzylife93]

[pacoson79]

Rush Hour? Get real.... Da message is what everyone should be talking about! Now pass it on. ;)

Why haven't any of these over rated hiphop stars sampled this one yet? You would have to spit on some real sh!t in order to do it, da right way.

[rapFANboy]

[Alxalifate]

War is a feature of "our" world because Mankind(Women too)Mankind "Consumes" so as sure as we consume aggression will be a fellow traveler of the Greedy the needy the jackals and dupes,people "consume" my private life-that causes envy and hate,they are never going to stop,try living in peace? They won't let me! So we get Psyhcological war-race war-religious war,people really get off on making others suffer,that is part of the outlook of everyone who consumes-they want it all and then more,more!

[Brimmj]

@Alxalifate honestly man...... nobody gives a shit... were listening to the song

[mrbobobo262626]

@Brimmj the song wasn't made so that a song could exist. the song was made with a message, and even the dude singing knows that.

[xEaglewingA21x]

I wish my priest sounded like this in church :(

[487shawn]

true talent!

[beni1645]

war=evolution and change

[ineedsomescrilla142]

@beni1645 actually no, because there will always be a lingering hatred that will lead to more war, ya technology evolves but so does the eminent destruction of the planet, in which :what is it REALLY good for: absolutely nothing. so go fuck yourself assmun

[beni1645]

@ineedsomescrilla142 that was some genius answer!!!u must be really smart and awesome lol
