Bolland Bolland - You're In The Army Now

[Francy4116]

beautiful song♥

[vars666]

thank you

[dogdixon]

Its about being drafted right?

[daveshow2]

@dogdixon I dont think its just about being drafted more like that you are told all the good things about joining up such as the uniform, Respect from your peers, brotherhood etc but its kind of glossed over that you and your mates could get blown to bits and no one really cares(and in the case of Vietnam some aspects of society really disrespected servicemen)

[finnbjarke]

Clearly, he sings "on the way to *Nam.

[Urzhum]

Это лучше чем Статус Кво, однозначно.

[Kaffeemanable]

20$ he is gay.. :D

[dutchellene]

@Kaffeemanable I don't give a shit of you are.

Finally, the song appeared on a Negram single in 1981 or on the RCA/Lark LP in 1982 ?

Seems that the Lark title is "In The Army Now"...

super skladba!!dííík



[phincaphe]

It's an antiwar song (you know, Vietnam war). It's great that we have singers like this. I'm Vietnamese.

[PeterSpaeter96]

To the 'Bolland/Bolland'-experts:

Please tell me one thing. At 1:24, do they sing "Smiling faces on your way to 'Nam" (meaning: Viet Nam)? I mean, it rhymes with '...gives a damn'.

In the Status Quo cover version, it is clearly "... your way to land", which makes less sense, I think.

[Arentzen]

Yes, you're right - it's about Vienam. Don't know why Status Quo changed it.

[TheSenseiSd]

@Arentzen status quo ruined it :)

[Christopher2000008]

very nice version and quite powerful but that costumes suck!

[lenishjim]

very nice song.....

[statusquo94]

[gcoudert]

South-African born but lived in Holland.

[solveigcat]

wow! Super video!!!

[xxbuliusx]

ok this is good old song :D it sounds diffrent when they sing it older

[HermioneNo1]

Yes, this is the original, it was written by them :-)

With slightly different lyrics, but only marginal

[Setsnaz1vdv]

Im going to the army now just for this song .*****!!!!

[xxbuliusx]

is this the original?

[ensimon]

This is the version in which has been best known this song in Greece. The version of Status Quo was also quiet interesting and more rocky, but that of Bolland, with all those military-sound-effects is by far better and more popular.

[youknow8894]

I really like this song!

My parents say that it's from when they were young. So a bit old (x

[ensimon]

1977!
