Goodnight Saigon: Billy Joel

“It’s an anthemic ode to the brotherly bonds Marines developed during their time in Vietnam. They smoked hash together, ogled the women in Playboy, listened to their Doors tapes, and held onto each other hoping they wouldn’t die. “We will all go down together,” the choir of men bellow in the song’s climactic refrain. In the official live video of the song, that choir is made up of actual Vietnam vets.”
