Annotation
New Zealand artist Craig Scott also did a cover of the song "Smiley" (His Master's Voice # HR.441), released on single on 14 June 1971. The line "smiley, you're off to the Asian war, and we won't see you smile no more..." captured the effect of the war on a generation of New Zealand youth who also fought in Vietnam - but rarely receiving attention. It featured on the album of the same name: Smiley..
