Ive been trying to re-descover a song that was popular in the mid 70's that has a discussion about America and all the things we do for all the other people of this planet. The song was called 'Something in the Air.' Later, in 1994, the American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers did a cover version of the song which I actually like better it also made the charts. Question: Do you know of an old (approximately 1960s) song about a revolution in the air?Īnswer: There was a charted song in 1969 by a British rock band called Thunderclap Newman. It's basically a history of early electronic music. It also details the history of the recording. He has a pretty extensive website that plays the song from the Vietnam era that I think you're describing. Do you know it?Īnswer: Is this the song you're looking for? It's a song by the same name as the lyrics you quote, and it's by Stan Gibbs. Question: In 1969 or 1970, there was a song whose only lyrics were, 'They call it a revolution.' Those words were repeated several times before the song turns into this psychedelic electronic instrumentals. Where the Stars and the Stripes and the Eagle Fly Got a suggestion?
