need help with finding song

[puckmaster]

i'm looking for a song, and i dont know the title or the artist, or any of the lyrics. The only way to describe it is its that "hippy woodstock" song that you hear during movies about vietnam. Its an older one. any help would be great.

[Steelrat]

What movie?

Know any of the lyrics, any at all?

[GA Devil]

paint it black by the rolling stones is usually in most movies about vietnam. theres some others i cant think of but give it a shot.

[puckmaster]

i'll try the stones. The movie was that i last remember it from is a documentory called "Dear America; letters form vietnam" or something like that. I new some of it yesterday, but i forgot them now.

Of all those, I would have to guess the one you are thinking of was "A hard rain's gonna fall" or "fortunate son."

[puckmaster]

nope, not paint it black.

Another place i remember the beggining form was on the simpsons. it was the one when there was a baby riot at the Raffie(the baby singer) concert. it was right when marge and maggie got to the show, and it was like woodstock, and that song was playing. i dont know if that really helps, but whatever.

[puckmaster]

I found it! its gimme shelter, by the stones. It was also the last one i looked at. Thanks for that list man.
