Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son

[shiftingsandland]

The name of my show dog incorporates the phrase "Fortunate Son." sorry.

[wildsmiley]

7 people disliked this? I guess they must be senator sons.

[PreziX]

BF Vietnam Generation.

[Korban3]

Hot, humid jungles full of Viet Kong out to kill you and your buddies sucks = Nam sucks.

Thanks to all vets for their service. Keep on rockin' guys.

Thanks to CCR for being awesome. Lots of awesome.

"Fuck You" to fortunate sons and Black Ops.

[FPSManInTheWall]

@Korban3 Why do you hate on Black ops? It's a fucking video game!

[Korban3]

@FPSManInTheWall It's not the game itself. I have a pretty high appreciation for video games simply because they require skill to make. I know because I do it, although I'm still learning. It's the message and impact of Black Ops. I hate seeing 4 year-olds going around saying that war is cool because they played Black Ops. I also don't like that they used the Rolling Stones' tunes for it. Outside of the decade, the Stones music doesn't fit Black Ops' at all.

[FPSManInTheWall]

@Korban3 Well i agree. I don't like war, but i am interested of the tactics and warfare the battles require. That is why i am playing FPS games (Battlefield), and not because i am a fat nerd who yells every time i die in a game because my KDR is going low.

[Korban3]

@FPSManInTheWall Yeah, I like Battlefield better.

I don't know if you've played it, but the Mount and Blade series has a good setup for tactical battles too. It's Medieval, but you can sure get your tactics fix if you get yourself an army. You start the game alone, but can hire a bunch of troops eventually.

[PunisherEntertainmen]

@Korban3 I loved Mount and Blade! It was a bit slow at first, but loads of fun, especially for people like me who love all the tactical stuff and etc.

[Korban3]

@PunisherEntertainmen Yeah, I especially love hiring the "Heroes" and seeing which ones get along. I beefed up one characters stats by exporting it and editing so that me and 14 of of the heroes can go in and kill about 130 foot soldiers before I'm defeated, and maybe 90 mounted troops if the two sets are separate.

[chuckbyf1]

Gore went to Nam in 1970 you dipshits. His orders to be sent to Nam were held up by the Nixon admin. for political reasons. They didn't want to give his father, who was running for reelection at the time ammo in his bid. Incidently, he lost. But Al did serve. Do some research once in a while before shooting your mouth off.

[aurel91150]

black ops , Die Hard 4 , Bad Company 2 good song !!!!!

[jonnycashman100]

AWSOME

[MrMLD72MLD]

♥ .

[pamie124]

you guys are all wrong......the fortunate son is Al Gore....

[museack]

@pamie124

Man, aint that the truth....Al "Gorleoni" is the true fortunate son. Bet his daddy pulled all kinds of political strings to keep him out of the Vietnam war.

[creekcountry]

It ain't me!

[deterrentolive2]

BFBC2V all the way!

[Choogler1]

@ Sarah,,,,, lol.yea, I'm somewhat familiar with the lyrics,,,,AND with who Eisenhower was...he was the son of FORMER PRESIDENT Eisenhower,not "senator"...and who he married ,etc... Just because the lyrics "fit what you think" don't make them what the real deal was... Your beating a dead horse already.

[Mrwasabi35]

black ops anyone?

[sarahi010]

This song is about David Einsenhower, grandson of President of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

He married Julie Nixon, daughter of President Richard Nixon.

[Choogler1]

@sarahi010 ...you really are tripping out.....



[sarahi010]

@Choogler1 How? Google it. This song was inspired by them.

[Choogler1]

@sarahi010 ........thats not what John Fogerty say's...

[sarahi010]

@Choogler1 He said a lot of things. Did you google it?

[Choogler1]

@sarahi010 No,Honestly I didn;t,But I've heard the story for the last 42 years........LONG before google was a goo....... I stick with the guy who WROTE THE SONG and his version of the stories over google or any other " new medium" ...... Whats important is that you DIG THE TUNE,and on that we both agree !.....

[sarahi010]

@Choogler1 Still inspired by them.

[sarahi010]

@Choogler1 & David is the fortunate son. He married the President's daughter.

[fedesempai]

bfv 4 eva!!!

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

A great song that tells the truth.

Some songs speak loud.

This is one of them.

George Vreeland Hill

[3669jds]

Im american im a National Socialist....88....



[NicenEasyuk]

@3669jds Doesn't National Socialism require everyone else to be National Socialist aswell... Surely You're just someone who wishes everyone was National Socialist??

[Devon6961]

Whenever there is a Vietnam movie or game this song is in it and its awesome!!!

[Faxe90Swe]

This song, along with its likes, would in my country (Sweden) count as loaded with social democacy, if not socialism. That's one great irony of America - the Average Joe is anti-socialist down to his bones, but yet favors a culture that is, in its American context, very socialistic. This observation may help Americans realize that a moderate degree of social democracy is just plain common sense. (I'm not a social democrat, but realize the BASIC good sense of it)

The song is great, though.

[LeBearExtrordinare]

@Faxe90Swe a swede,criticizing american culture,the irony of it all.

[Faxe90Swe]

@LeBearExtrordinare

How so?

[museack]

@Faxe90Swe

I think what you're observing is that as Americans, we don't necessarily "favor" a "socialistic" culture, but most, if not all, musical artists, film stars & their producers are very very socialistic & tend to deliver their political messages in their product. We therefore are forced to accept socialistic music and movies IF we want to listen to a song or watch a movie.

[Faxe90Swe]

@museack

You got that problem too, eh? Thought it was only Europe.

[Kitsuchie]

7 people weren't born made to wave the flag ;3

[Skullhunter1180]

this song is in every vietnam movie or game ever

(And in die hard 4.0) and thats cuz this is the most famous "vietnam" song ever

and it´s also a very good song to

[yokomustdie]

[bvwatcher]

@scottbinoc I hear you Bro. B 1/8 1st A/C 69-70.

[Shagrat65]

7 people need to be slapped repeatedly in the face by a mob of irrate Viet cong with AK47 and fed alive to a mutated pack of ravenous Dholes

[CaptOxBig]

[ethanthehut3]

This should be our anthem

[reconmission1]

Run Forrest RUN!! ahahaha... GREAT FILM!

[deannastar9]

i heard this song on black ops



[MegaDraa]

This song is still as relavent today as it was 1969. Most of us aren't fortunate sons, they own the banks.

[Killradio9]

You say Back to Black, I say Back in Black

You say Give Love a Try, I say Give Love a Bad Name

You say Smell Like Funk, I say Smells Like Teen Spirit

You sey Colors of Wind, I say Wind of Change

You say Bad Romance, I say Bad Reputation

You say Smoke and Mirrors, I say Smoke on the Water

92% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Pop. If you are part of the 8% that still

listen to real music, copy and paste this message to another 5 videos.

DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK DIE!!!

[thejaredcooper]

@Killradio9 that didn't make any sense whatsoever but CCR is still the SHIT

[Cheapthrill1979]

@Killradio9 Posers like you are why we have shitty pop, music execs are obsessed with the stupid demographics morons like you perpetuate.

[Killradio9]

@Cheapthrill1979 Pshh you don't really know me, i have more of a love for REAL music than some low-born southern trash like you could ever have.

Have A Glorious Day >:)

[Cheapthrill1979]

@Killradio9 I don't know you yet you seem to know me? Low born southern trash? you don't even know what country I'm in. I may not know you but I do know the moronic crap you posted, it's the cool lists I'm sure tweens on hannah montana sites love posting. Least they have an excuse being tweens and all.

[CHKCLANCHANNEL]

@Killradio9 the only rap i listen to is the origanal like will smith and jazzy def stuff like dat

[XBlueM0ndayX]

@Killradio9 you think 92% of teenagers are into hip hop and pop? where the hell did the first person to post that get those numbers from?

[shaxnerd418]

I think it's hilarious that companies like Chevy and Dodge have used this song in their commercials, assuming it's a wrap-yourself-in the flag, I love America anthem. That's what I love about CCR, sick melody, marrow deep soul, balls of steel. Love it.

[milqn4o]

Its 21:34 pm . My tooth hurts . I listen to this song and drink some tea :) nothing better than that :P

[MyDreamside]

[ShrapnelOnTheFly]

[LuigiFan1457]

I was talking to my friend. She told me 'Listen to Justin Bebier' I said 'Okay I will. You listen to Fortunate Son" (OF COURSE I DIDNT!!) As soon as the song starts, she says"THEY SOUND OLD!!!"

I was thinking to myself:" WWWWWHHHAAATTTT TTTHHHEEE FFFUUUU-----"

[Haregar]

@LuigiFan1457

[austin5287]

[80sbandsrock]

im 13 and i just have to say that all my friends listen to rap and crap and, just, people need to listen to stuff like this instead of no talent lady bla bla( besides the only reason shes famous is because of how she dresses!). The world is too consumed with stupid crap now, like ipods and facebook. Are we really to lazy to walk our a**'s outside and talk to our friends? PEOPLE WAKE UP AND LIVE LIFE!

[yankovic100]

@80sbandsrock r u writeing this 4 every 80s song u hear i love this song n all but iv seen u txt the same ting ovr n ovr

[TheUSMCE5]

@yankovic100 Holy shit dude, Learn to fucking spell.

[bringbackthe1960sppl]

@yankovic100 duded he has a great point, i think the same way. i wish technolgy didnt take over the way it did after the 1980's... then people would be doing things, not arguing on youtube. i wish i was born on some time between 1951, then i would've experienced alot and liked people but i was just born in 1995 and now i deal with this shit every where...

[lilwaynesrocksucks]

@bringbackthe1960sppl george orwell 1984 is happening hahaha bring back the 60's and 70's long live free spirit!!!!

[bjpw1234]

@80sbandsrock That's what I'm saying

[Kreed468]

1st guy- Chuck Norris, 2nd Guy- Tom Crusis, 3rd- Guy Tom Hanks (Forest Gump), 4th Guy- John Lennin :D

[LieutenantPBNJ]

One thing that always comes to my mind when I hear this song is, "Road trip!".

[TartanTrouble]

I love this song it always reminds me of a random lazy Vietnamese wartime day and Predator. Oh yeah and to all uneducated Americans Britain isn't English Britain was formed by a Scot so don't ever EVER refer to someone with an English accent as a Brit or anyone from Scotland as a Brit because I find, as a Scotsman, it offensive to be called British.

[autopsy87]

@TartanTrouble just like southerners find it offensive when yall call us yanks. in the states yankees are the folks from up north

[Brzrkr667]

the songs of creedence are way too short, i wanna enjoy the awesomeness!!!

[lumilu2]

LOSMAS GRANDES

[orderofanticraft]

This is the theme to the America I want to be in.The blue collar , hard working , family driven , real people of this country. Not the plastic Sarah Palin , Paris Hilton , war - hungry society we are being pushed into.

[Marthaz89]

@orderofanticraft

That is why nearly 95% of all europeans hate america and american people.

Greetings from good old Germany!

[orderofanticraft]

@Marthaz89 - Yes , it is a problem , that most all Europeans see of America is what they are shown on t.v. or the movies. There are plenty of real people here, who do not buy into the shit that big corporations / governments try to push down our throats (like, war .. or lady gaga). But , you of all people should understand this , coming from "good old Germany" .

[BorderCityBandit]

@Marthaz89 So Europeans hate Americans,big fucking deal, I respect no fucking European that runs his mouth from thousands of miles away,if you got enough guts to run your piehole to somebodys face,dont run it all, nothing would please me more than to choke the ever loving shit out of some arrogant ,cocky asshole Europeans,best thing thing my ancestors did, was 2 get the fuck out that asylum

[fatheroflatus]

@BorderCityBandit Yeah, I see you running your mouth in THEIR faces.

[tehwarlockuser]

@Marthaz89 Or is it because we kicked your German ass in WW2? Fucking Nazi.

[EZCreepin]

wasnt this in a battlefield bad company trailer? and to think i just found this amazing band, god i hate being born in the 90's

[LSysyn15]

@mexicankid1100 LOL



[Maskedhaven]
