War, what is it good for?
All we are saying, is give peace a chance.
The video shows the "Christmas Truce" that took place between British and German soldiers at the front in France during World War I in 1914. However, it only lasts a few days.

Paul McCartney in a dual role :-)

> War - Edwin Starr

"Frankie Goes To Hollywood", "Beastie Boys" and "Bruce Springsteen" have covered this song and interpreted it in their own way.

„War! - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!“
The film "War and Peace" (1967) has only three songs. Two Russian folk and one French - the anthem of royal France "Vive Henri IV".
Vive Henri IV !
Vive ce roi vaillant !
Ce diable à quatre
A le triple talent
De boire et de battre
Et d'être un vert galant.
De boire et de battre
Et d'être un vert galant.

Au diable guerres,
Rancunes et partis !
Comme nos pères
Chantons en vrais amis,
Au choc des verres
Les roses et les lys
Au choc des verres
Les roses et les lys.

... and two more couplets.

Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov, who wrote the music for this film, certainly knew that the melody of this anthem was used by Tchaikovsky in the finale of the ballet "Sleeping Beauty". I think that gave him a clue for the final scene of the movie.

Cant copy links from YT from my phone easily, but one of my favorites.
Iron Maiden.- The trooper
And in essence
Iron Maiden.- Run to the hills.
Scorpions.- Winds of change.
Most national anthems lol. Mexico's at least cut the list.
