The song emerged in the cold war, specifically at the time of the Vietnam war, in which the song supported the Americans and called the anti-war protests "communist".[2]

Music content

The anti-communism is evident in the lyrics of the song, in which he calls the anti-war protesters communists and "bearded and bathless bunch", "two-faced politicians" and "leader makes our country weak". In music, the support for the Americans in the Vietnam War is also evident in the statement "If we're to win this war with Communism, Let's fight it here as well as Vietnam".[3][4]

Reception

When the song was made, Columbia Records had refused to release it, stating that it was too provocative and political.[3][2] Despite this, other artists have published covers of the song, such as Johnny Freedom[5] and Autry Inman.[6]
