War...huh...yeah

Absolutely nothing
Uh ha haa ha
War...huh...yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutley nothing...say it again y'all
War..huh...look out...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...listen to me ohhhhh
WAR! I despise,
'cos it means destruction of innocent lives,
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes,
When their sons gone to fight and lose their lives.
I said WAR!...huh...good God y'all,
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...say it again
War! Huh...What is it good for (Edwin sings 'Wohh oh Lord' over the top)
Absolutely nothing...listen to me
WAR! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker,
War. Friend only to the undertaker.
Ohhh! War is an enemy to all mankind,
The thought of war blows my mind.
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction then destruction...who wants to die? Ohhh
WAR! good God y'all huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...say it say it SAY IT!
WAR!...uh huh yeah hu!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...listen to me
WAR! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker,
War! It's got one friend that's the undertaker.
Ohhhh! War has shattered many a young man's dream,
Made him disabled, bitter and mean,
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days.
War can't give life, it can only take it away!
Ohhh WAR! huh...good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...say it again
War!...huh...woh oh oh Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing...listen to me
War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker,
War. Friend only to the undertaker...woo
Peace lovin' understand then tell me,
Is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom,
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way.
Ohhhhhhh WAR! huh...good God y'all...
What is it good for?...you tell me!
Say it say it say it saaaay it!
War! good God now...huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it...NOTHING - Jak na to + styl

With Jackie and Chris, not 2 posers in their place.
your right but both of the main characters are old right now its rare to get a season 4

i guess 99.999% of common people just a people not a legends wtf are you talking about

Battlefield vietnam 2004 - 7 years old loving this song brought me here many many times
fr just randomly came to my head while counting tips lmao
them Rush Hour vibes
I was born in the early 50s I am 72 I Will never forget this song, It makes me cry☮️☮️☮️
i was born tmm. it makes me horny ❤
awwww....memories do that to us. but life always moves forward...and the more we try and remember the past, know that no amount of tears will bring it back. its gone forever...sad but true. So spend your days and time thinking of being more spiritual and health conscious bcos NO ONE will take care of you like you really need them too. Live life like its your last day on earth..smile and meet new people....go out for walks...get some air, see things in ways you may have missed them the day before. Be at peace with yourself and look for me time....

You could always dance your way out, Holmes.
Waluigi Just watched the movie, it was too funny hahahah!
Released in the early 1970s, this song was not a "movie song." It was one of the most powerful protest songs to ever come out of the anti-war movement. It was for real, blazing on radios, stereos, 8 tracks and 'live' during protests everywhere.
Elle D Wetherbee This comment is SO true and accurate. You heard it all the time on the radio. It was sung, shouted, screamed, at every protest. Pissed off cops so bad that protests many times turned into riots, usually instigated by police. I was there, saw it for myself.
And Nixon Just kept up the killing.
@@paulabecvar1136 Yes, Paula, I'm sure you did. It was a decade and a half. Boomers experienced this firsthand. We were lied to, jailed, killed, shunned, ripped off, and until the WWII generation stood up, it would have continued another decade. Whatever the military-industrial complex wanted.
@@ReclaimingMyChillTime And now Boomers are in charge and they are doing what was done to them. I hope the next generation stands up and puts a stop to war for good. Imagine if there's no war . . . it's easy if you try
@@pjruland: I would not say "Boomers" with a blanket statement. The Military-Industrial Complex (MICs) and the U.S. corpocracy have one whole party by the nads. One party fighting alone against them is not enough. It's going to take us all.
We need this song on airwaves everywhere. War solves nothing.
it is all about power~ money is power and power is money~

From those of us who've served. Your God damned right. Play it till it sinks in.

.....and her we go again.... this song should be upvoted again.....bring it up on the charts.
😭☠️yup
I can request it on my local radio channels
Put it in my spotify list... 👍
Yes, let's so that. 💙💛/ And love and support go out to people all over the world who suffer from war. If we can stop one war, we can stop each and every war❤️❤️❤️
Exactly what I was thinking
How many came back to this banger in October '23?
Today. Relevant as ever
Fun fact: the novel "War and Peace" was originally going to be titled "War, What Is It Good For?"
Mike Lowrey It was Tolstoy’s mistress who suggested changing it.
@@erinmiller1433 RIP Job
Mike Lowrey Great moments from Seinfeld
Don’t act like Sheldon Cooper
One wonders if War and Peace would have been as well received under its original title War, What is it Good For?
"This song tonight is most appropriate, for ironic reasons the best reasons, but first a toast to an age old question."
"Is this everything you wanted Major? "
*giggles* what about London Bridge?
Ja ja, London Bridge is falling down; we all know the song. If you burn it down, you can sing the song.
MatthewCh27 yes because it means the destruction of innocent lives
Alakes Brahms are soldiers innocent ?
Hellsing
A sentiment that only grows with every waking day.
I was young when this song came out...I lived through the Vietnam War and all the wars there after. It was relevant the and still is now! Great Song!
I remember, I was 18. Kids fresh out of high school got drafted. My husband enlisted & got his draft papers while in basic training. My husband was in military police. So I saw a lot of freckled faced kids go to Vietnam. When the came back, they looked like old men with dead eyes. I never forget those eyes...😪 I lost 2 friends in Vietnam 😪
Was it Cronkite, when the last troops left Vietnam, who said when the next president tells the American people they need to send their sons to die in some far away land, he should do it from here, among the tombstones at Arlington Cemetery.
It is so terrible that this song still has not lost anything of its currentness. It could be written today.
Aged like fine wine
Nothing that comes out today is anything like this lmao
You were proven 100% right not even a few *hours* after posting this
@@brunop.8745 I just wish it weren't so.... :-(
it will not lose its currentness there will always be a war in the future whether you like it or not
very appropriate for today's times. This song needs to go world wide....
Man have I got news for you chief
I came hier to say the same thing
Shared!!
Perfect timing too when Russia is at war with Ukraine
World Wide Absolutely Yes.
Absolutely Genius. More applicable today 12/23/23 than ever. This is required listening.!!!
Old song, but who's listening in April 2024? 💥💥💥💥💥
ME!! ...and, lovin' every minute of it! 😊❤🎉
yes babbyyy
Let's go!
May 5 2024 😊
Good God! Huh!
I really liked how they ended rush hour 3 with Carter and Lee dancing to this song.
Yes I remember that
Bro this is where I heard this song for the first time 😂
@@kiriman2489 me too. I tried to find this song after listening it in the movie. I like this moment , when they are dancing
A song that every single person on planet Earth needs to hear right now.
Please no war, only peace.
War is good for business
War is evil... it's from hell. Pray for peace,may God have mercy on us all.
@@algomes715does war become good when we fight for god like in the crusades?
@New Car Smell I dream of a world without war, but just like darkness defines light by its contrast, so too does war with peace and vise versa.
Best we can do is work to make war something that is quick, and and with as little blood shed as possible, so we may return to peace.
Ur a liberal probably
This song is an anthem for all countries. Powerful & to the point-war accomplishes "absolutely nothing." We must find a better way.
Ok but rush hour
This song should be an early lesson in every country, human being, and company. We're better together and their is power in numbers. Use your strengths and strengthen your weaknesses 💯💎👑
Recent events have brought me here. We learn nothing as a species.
Never thought I'd witness a live-streamed war, yet here we are.
When will we learn that our actions have consequences?
When we overthrow the government
Never
Never
Never!
We need that song so much now in October 2023
For the people saying that this song is now becoming relevant the sad truth is that it has always been relevant
Here cuz I watched RUSH HOUR today. Haha Jackie and Chris! LOL
Here cuz I watched small soldiers
Rush Hour baby
Just watched it today loool
How many times that one been married anyway?!
Oh my god wtf lol. I saw the made without SLS and nearly died yall. At least me and kara know where each other are and I found mister curtains so... lol. Look if leslie had her way she would poke some holes in some more- ask colleen lol.

Here after seeing children being killed in Palestine on social media. I'm in tears and I'm tired of seeing and feeling the pain of innocent people! Everyone please pray for world peace...
Relevant as ever.
Biden found this song offensive as it goes against his beliefs
to me, this song will forever be tied to vampire nazis destroying London from a blimp while playing this ironically.
What movie is that?
@@blainedillahunty3014 It's ep 5 of a parody of the anime Hellsing Ultimate by the youtube channel TeamFourStar. It's excellent, watch it if you haven't. (czcams.com/video/0_4nmW5GZhQ/video.html)
Some famous lines:
"If you look deep into your heart (which is currently splattered over that tree), you will find the power to forgive me."
"Fuck you, I'm getting double immortality"
"Nah, the boner is gone"
"Hey Dandy Dick! You missed! woop woop woop woop!"
"I'm a real fuckmothering vampire"
"We're on a school trip through England" - "where are you from?" - "Texas" - *1000 guns emptying all they have into two guards*
"Is that Hypocrisy I smell? Oh, if it isn't the catholic church! Why are you here? The nearest elementary school is 10 miles away."
and so, so much more.
(warning, a lot of gore. A LOT of gore. Oh and rape jokes. SOOO many rape jokes).
ah, i see you're a person of culture as well
Should sing London bridges falling down next
@@jerrypatterson7032 yes yes, if you want to burn it down, you can sing the song.
Here we go again. Nobody never learns anything.

War is an american strategy to slowley take over the world without taking it over, we invade other countrys and fight their wars and then we unofficially own them...... I think

2022, in my late 60’s and this song is still relevant! So very sad for the human race…

@@helenbarber5980 with all due respect - the world is edging closer to a conflict, never before seen since WWII. I believe that God would see us through, but it could be the end of everything.
heard this in the early 70s in the barracks & had pictured the singer much different. What a voice
Idk if it’s just me. But it seems like back in the days musicians. When they sang a song you could feel the pain of the song & feel the song differently
The whole World should be listening to this song right now.
right now as well
I guess the world must listen to this until we end war, and yet the world does not!
Such a simple and powerful song. The best way to bring notoriety to the problems in the world is through music imo. This song does that better than most. The lyrics say it all. Peace.

@@maajimboo great song. Love it.
Other than actually making the changes that promote a better world....
@@wyattbottorff2473 those changes often divide the world. One decision might make some happy but it upsets even more. No one can make a perfect decision but you can make a perfect song.

ENOUGH!!! END ALL OF IT.....EDWIN STARR...KEEPING IT REAL IN 20 AND 23!!! AND ALL THE YEARS FOLLOWING!!!
The complete opposite of Red Sun, but this one is for real.
Song was made for a damn good reason, but many folks still don't understand. But no matter how many times we protest or how many riots we start, war is always going to be relevant or essential in some way. War is sometimes the only way to bring an end to a standing world order no matter how righteous or immoral it may seem, whether it's the war or order that's in the right or wrong.
Yes. As long as Humanity remains corruptible war will always be needed to purge corruption

God save Ukraine and Israel
54 years actually. We used to sing it on the playground at recess during the Vietnam War. I was 10. I thought when I got old we'd have world peace. How wrong I was.
It's a shame that some people today still haven't internalized the message of this song

Flashback!!!! When assigned to a Strategic Air Command base in 1970/71 I had just put this on the jukebox at a snack bar on the flight line. A Full Bird Colonel walked in and yanked the jukebox off the wall and demanded the 45 be taken from the box and he smashed it. I was ratted out by the pointing of a 1st. Lt.'s finger . Needles to say I was on his s--t list and with in a few weeks I was shipped over seas. Ohh the 70's :)
The song delicates to America for all the wars created by America directly and indirectly
