  • I'm doing a new reaction series. I will be doing the top songs of each year, starting with my birth year of 1975, according to Billboard charts. I will be doing the Pop, Soul/R&B/HipHop, and Country songs from each year.
    This first round of videos is for my wife. I hope you enjoy it all. Be sure to Like, Sub and Bell the video to see when the next ones get released.
    Comment below if you want to see me do a particular song and I'll add it to the list as long as it's "family-friendly" and not vulgar.
    Take care of your headspace and I'll see you in the next one!

    Dude, it was beautiful to see the song move you at the end. Thank you for checking it out. I've been listening to that song since it came out. I was a 6th grader and my brother would be drafted the next year, in '67.

    In 1966, the song 'Hundert Mann und ein Befehl' sung by Freddy Quinn was number 1 in Germany Charts.In this song doubts a soldier the meaning of war.I know some American soldiers who are stationed here in Germany, and everyone was amazed when I played them the song and they recognized the Ballad of the Green Berets in it.

    As a liberal patriot I love protest songs and marching music. This song always creates a lump in my throat, along with the national anthem. I joined the army and went to Nam to help the South Vietnamese. I also protested when i got back when I realized we didn't really care. We just supported a rght wing govt. who tortured and killed their own people against a left wing govt. that tortured and killed their own people.

    Just FYI, the song actually was published that same year in a German version, "100 Mann und ein Befehl/100 Men and [in the sense of "following"] one Order" (without references to the US military or the Vietnam War, obviously) and rewritten to *question* the sense of warfare. (Link: czcams.com/video/DHLOR-o6TsM/video.html; I can provide a translation if wanted.) It was the last major success for the singer, Austrian Freddy Quinn (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Quinn) who was active as a singer (no longer pop, but country) and actor until well into his 70s.
    It made it to the top spot of the German charts, and a re-release later that same year sung by a woman, Heidi Brühl, made it to no. 8. The German lyrics in that version were changed to reflect the soldier's wife's perspective.

      Maybe? . In 2022 about 3000 entered phase I, and 900 qualified to continue training. And of those-----about 600 became Green Berets. So about one in 5 going into training became Green Berets. Pretty tough. Was it that much tougher back then---where only 1 in 33 made it in and earned the Green Beret?

    It is a good song, but why did you decide to stop it right in the middle and throw in your commentary, you couldn't have waited until the song was over? Absolutely hate when channels like this do that, these are the kind of channels that will not get my like or a subscription! 👎👎👎👎👎👎

    • @theskuffedknerd
      @theskuffedknerd  Před 11 měsíci

      The reasoning is CZcams algorithms. Stopping and starting a copyrighted song is a way to indicate that it’s a fair use style video, and adding commentary through the song is a part of how fair use is decided.
