I'm calling on Harry , Harry Truman,This is a seance for you,The world has gotten worse,since this clever verse - Oh Harry we know what to do but we have been neutered
Thanks to Truman WWII ended two or three years early by dropping Two Nukes on Japan. My dad met Truman while in the army. Also stationed in U.S. sector Berlin during the Airlift.
Rebuilt Europe through the Marshall Plan,Saved Greece,Turkey,and Korea from being taken over by the Communists.Tried to enact Universal Healthcare,Helped found NATO,Recognized the State of Israel. Initiated the Berlin Airlift. First President to address the NAACP. Fired the "Prima Donna" MacArthur. He wasn't perfect,but compared to someone like Bush Jr.,I'd take Truman any day of the week and twice on Sunday. "Nam" stared with Ike,not Truman.
@caveatemp He did drop two bombs but that was World War II, world war sounds bad, why not end it soon. Although it is sad about those poor people, women and kids and all.
@CarulornTarcona Japan posed no credible threat to the US. and Pearl Harbor was a false flag. The ultimate irony is the US going around the world saying who can and can't have the bomb. We are the only nation to use it without restraint on innocents.
YOU CANT COMPARE ANYTHING TO THIS. THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC WAY OF EXTERMINATION. the fact that these weapons were developed and USED gave the possibility FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,THAT EVERY LIVING ON THIS PLANET COULD BE DESTROYED WITH A PUSH OF A BUTTON!!!!!!. America not only mass murdered thousands of people but planted the seed for any other country to use nuclear weapons for their OWN just cause. HARRY TRUMAN IS THE GREATEST WAR CRIMINAL!!!
Mud-slinging dirty political tricks....endless "Police Action" in Korea....beginning involvement in Viet Nam....financial strife and corrupt labor unrest.....Truman is very over-rated when seeing his few accomplishements versus his actual failed New Deal legacy. In the end he was a political failure.
Neat video Tritan. Pres. Truman was a little before my time, but for sure, could we use another guy like him in the office. No more career political activists in office.. We are all seeing the Change the current guy promised. It's what's left in my pocket after paying for all the entitlement, err, Obama supporters..
WELL DONE!!! VERY VERY GOOD!!!!! Consider the fact that Robert Lamm wrote this in 1975, this is 2011, WE STILL NEED Harry Truman: NOW more thanEVER!!!
I wish I could find a video of where Chicago performed this song at the 1975 Rockin New Year's Eve. I know it was lip synched but boy what showmanship!
Thanks SO MUCH for posting this great novelty hit from the heyday of Chicago. I remember seeing them at Popejoy Hall at the University of NM in 1974 and they played this song live. What a gas. Great video, too. Thanks again.
