i honestly still feel that this song has a very much applys today as it did back then as well. i just wish that a lot of people would just take a minute to just listen to the words of a great classic song like this. and maybe the world wouldn't be in such of a mess that it is in now like it is. marvin was right when he was talking about tollerance and peace and everyone getting along with each other and that color is only skin deep.
Anthem of us baby boomers! Thanks for posting the lyrics...such memories: the sit-ins, "free love", antidisestablishmentarianism, flower children, forbidden fruit, dungarees, pigtails, bare feet, burning bras, rebellion against our parents, voter registration, hope....hope for a better tomorrow! (delusion). But we did get to know one another and set aside a lot of differences for the truth.
Haha 2 people didn't like this...seriously, how? Anyway, fantastic original...I just heard the MTV "All Star" tribute (yes, 10 years later...sue me) and well...it sucked. Seriously, I love hip hop but you shouldn't even have Snoop Dogg or Jay-Z rappin' as a break in this song...just pitiful. Great anti-war song, one of the best ever made...Marvin Gaye was a true original, amazing talent. A shooting star in the true definition...too bad we as people lost him too early.

@moronicidiot3 This song is? Do you even know what this song is about? I could see "Let's Get it On"...but seriously, smooth melody aside...this is a protest song, not a gettin' it on song haha. That's like me saying I like to wave my flag to "Fortunate Son" as a patriotic, pro-war anthem...wtf? haha. Anyway....yeah, seriously man...that's the funkiest use I've ever heard this song having...I don't know whether or not to give your creativity props or just say that's kind of dumb..read the lyrics
@teen2x305 War is the answer sometimes. You can't reason with idiots like obamo the clown thinks you can. But, now it is not even war, it is selective war. Used to be war was kill everything that moved against you on the field of battle. Now there are too many rules made by beaurocrats that get American soldiers killed for no reason. Let the soldiers do their job and kill the enemy that struck against us first. If it wasn't for war you would be bowing before an emporer/dictator.
I love this song. Marvin was soooo talented i don't care what anyone says. I'm only 21 and i see the truth in what Marvin says in his music. I wish music was still like this instead of bragging about cars, money, and girls.
@Caramel267627 I disagree with your comment. Music no matter what genre, has always talked about women and money. Even the classical stuff. Even thought it didn't have lyrics, they still chased after women like the artists of today do. But Marvin Gaye is still amazing.
@Spaghetti745 yea but now its disrespectful and filthy, and just flat out horrible. auto tuned horrible stuff like that. the music form back then is much better.
@seanthemonx Yeah the music back then was way better. But if you think about it, we are all human and can't resist certain temptations. Same thing goes for musicians to. Even Marvin Gaye talked about sex but he doesn't talk about it like a perv.
how can you guys listen to a beautiful song like this then argue and hate on eachother like this? wheres the love? if you see an ignorant comment dont let it effect you or even give the person the dignity of a response. please
@goldencoven Oh, really? Are you ignorant, uneducated, or just plain stupid? Have you never heard of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor or the terrorist attack on The World Trade Center of September 11, 2001? Tell us you're truly not that dumb!
Vc ficara para sempre cara. Para vcs que estão conhecendo agora, a ignorancia era muita. Nós na época jovens não podiamos nada.Ele foi morto pelo próprio pai. beijos
really, War somtimes IS the answer, what else are we supopsed to do? play chess? leaders of nations back down when their population is dieing off due to war, and surrendor, and they dont try to challenge the opposing country again becuase they fear loosing more people. war is the answer somtimes.
@diegodragonbooster From someone who goes back to the start of Motown, and was (justifiably proud) of Motown--THIS ALBUM WAS THEIR BENCHMARK MOMENT! Those of you who remember the landmark year 1968 will know what I'm talking about--there was no one who didn't wonder, WHAT'S GOIN ON. Presidential candidates killed, Martin Luther King killed, Tet Offensive in Viet Nam--thousands killed--it was definitely a yea like no other, and to this day I still wonder "What's Goin' On'--both now and then.
Screw every one of you who does not like this , yea , My name is Al , twist off.
