Subject: Trying to remember a song...

Written By: Marc on 10/16/2000 at 2:06 a.m.

I remember a song from the early eighties that I thought was called "Nineteen". I think it was about the Vietnam draft. Does anyone out there remember this and if so who did it???

It is about the Vietnam war. "19" refers to the average age of the soldiers sent over to fight. It can be found on One of the "Living In Oblivion" compilations. #5, I think. The artist is Paul Hardcastle.

It was done in '85, and I'm pretty sure it had something to do with that.

several 80s compilations.
