A collection of Vietnam War songs and spoken-word records from Europe
This forms part of the larger Vietnam War Song Project, an interpretive examination of over 6,500 Vietnam War songs identified, revealing how the war's significance is represented through music. The project also collects spoken-word recordings about the conflict. This unique collection of voices advances scholarship by providing insights into people’s views about the war over time as represented in music, looking at diverse communities and vibrant music scenes. It is crucial in developing our knowledge of the war and the humanities, through the use of a digital research platform.Note: Annotations are still being added to this list.
Note: The VWSP has identified, to date, 975+ songs from Europe.

1 of 7
- Pre-Gulf of Tonkin: 1960-1964
While many of these early songs may have been intending to refer to US troops in Germany, or Korea, or representing general Cold War fears, they were released in the run-up to the "Vietnam era" and the Gulf of Tonkin incident (1964), which led to a major escalation of US involvement in the conflict, and thus included in this list, as cultural perspectives. The criteria is the same as for the war years - the songs included mention Vietnam, or the lyrics deal with war-related themes, such as the draft, napalm, prisoners of war, demonstrations, references to soldiers and veterans, war & peace, and expressions of patriotism. - War Years: 1964-1975
Released during the key war years, the songs included mention Vietnam, or the lyrics deal with war-related themes, such as the draft, napalm, prisoners of war, demonstrations, references to soldiers and veterans, war & peace, and expressions of patriotism.
While the war goes back to the 1954 Geneva conference, following the Gulf of Tonkin incident (1964), the US significantly expanded its presence in the region and its defence of South Vietnam, and thus using this date as the beginning of the core war years. These run to the collapse of South Vietnam (30 April 1975), in two periods: (a) 1964-1972, the years of major US combat involvement, up to the peace agreement; (b) 1973-1975, from the Paris Peace Accords (27 January 1973), which brought US troops and prisoners of war home, to the collapse of South Vietnam. - Post-War: 1976-present
Themes especially found in the post-Vietnam War era are lyrics about post-traumatic stress disorder, prisoners of war and the missing in action, the plight and treatment of veterans, and agent orange, in the years after the collapse of South Vietnam and the unification of North and South Vietnam.
The conflict had international repercussions across the world, with hundreds of songs released. Most are anti-war, and present the US presence in Vietnam as imperialistic. Europe took a lead in the 60s peace movement, especially in France, as represented in “Vietnam 67” (1967) by singer/songwriter Colette Magny. In Sweden, a large left-wing progressive folk scene grew, which saw the release of over 135 songs, most of them anti-war, such as “Leve Det Vietnamesiska Folkets Befrielsekamp” (1968) by the Freedom Singers. Over 130 songs were released in Italy. The Anglo-American music market saw UK records reach a broad audience, notably “The War Drags On” (1965) by Mick Softley, “The Ballad of a Crystal Man” (1966) by Donovan, and “Straight to Hell” (1982) by The Clash. Irish folk group The Men of No Property, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, released the LP “England’s Vietnam” (1975) which compared the Troubles to Vietnam, while several songs were released in Wales, for example “Bro Vietnam” (1968) by Adar y Dyffryn.
Dozens are songs came out of West Germany, the most well-known coming from the LP “Vietnam” (1968) by krautrock group Floh de Cologne. The 1972 LP “Alles Für Den Sieg Des Kämpfenden Vietnamesischen Volkes!” documented the work of the Nationales Vietnamkomitee, organised by the Communist Party of Germany in West Berlin. In the German Democratic Republic in the east, dozens of records showed solidarity with the North Vietnamese, for example the LP “Dem Frieden Die Freiheit” (1973).

Junior Wells, born Amos Wells Blakemore Jr. (1934-1998) in Memphis Tennessee, moved to Chicago in the late 1940s and based his career in the Chicago soul scene, well-known for his vocals and harmonica. The song "Vietnam-Blues" (AMIGA # 4 50 599) by Junior Wells expressed sympathy for those dying and took an anti-war stance. The narrator began to "sing the blues" for his "brother...in Vietnam" , and for all the "mothers, all the wives, all the fathers" who had a son or husband fighting… Notes

Country singer Smokey Harless sung for US military personnel stationed in Germany in the early 1970s, and he released a couple records on German based labels. This included the patriotic song "Men of Vietnam", and an anti-hippie track called "Place for Them Called Hell". The title of this song - "Hang Lt. Calley" (Pabst Music # PA 71006) - is misleading. It suggested that Calley should be punished for the massacre. But in fact Harless defended the actions of Calley, telling the… Notes

In Britain the Labour government (led by Prime Minister Harold Wilson) continually refused the US government's request to send troops to Vietnam. The British public opposed the war, and the country's role in the Malaysian Confrontation and East of Suez economically restricted the government's ability to support the US with forces. Many songs from British artists about the Vietnam conflict appeared throughout the 60s and 70s. The first came from the Essex born folk singer Mick Softly… #789 The Animals We've Gotta Get Out of This Place 1965 · Single · We've Gotta Get Out of This Place / I Can't Believe It · Columbia # EMI DB 7639 · UK

The song "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place" (Columbia (EMI) # DB 7639) was very popular amongst US forces in Vietnam - as the veteran streetmouse said, it was one of those songs that "expressed emotions, desires, daily activities", as well as being "just a whole lot of fun to listen to".1 The song frequently played on the American Forces Network radio in Vietnam.2Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil… #790 Alan Klein Age Of Corruption 1965 · Single · Age of Corruption / I'm Counting on You · Parlophone # R 5370 · UK
