    During the Vietnam War, if the teenagers were from wealthy, influential families then they didn't get drafted, go to war in a foreign country, and very likely never come home again. I'm simplifying but this song reminds me of them. This was the music for them...for their time. That said I love CCR's music.

    Many think this song was about Americans being proud of the USA. Not true!! It was a protest song about rich and famous kids being able to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War. If you were poor or an average person and your draft number was called, you went to Vietnam. "Some folks are born made to wave the flag, hoo, they're red, white and blue, and when the band plays "Hail to the Chief "Ooh, they point the cannon at you." Also, "some folks inherit star-spangled eyes, hoo, they send you down to war, and when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?" Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more."

    It may be a long band name but most people just referred to them as CCR, or sometimes, Creedence.
    CCR had so many hits, and they are one of those bands where I literally like every song that they've ever done. And they always had that signature Creedence sound, but yet there's such a huge variety in not only their catalog, but in all the hits that they had as well.
    Run Through the Jungle has been used in lots of movies and it was a huge hit. I bet you would absolutely love it, and it's longer, so you have time to really get into the groove and the texture and the mood of it. It's a pretty intense song.
    For something longer still, another of their big hits, Born on the Bayou really has this relentless swampy groove to it.

As soon as I was old enough we protested the Vietnam War at age 13 and 14, this was big during that time. We protested mainly about the treatment our soldiers as they came home. It was appalling how they were treated after being drafted so young (from ages 15 to 20), forced into war. Most were poor kids forced to fight in something most didnt believe in, then came home to the worst abuse, calling them baby k!llers, shunning them, etc. I salute the Vets. Thanx so much, Peace

    A lot of CCR songs have appeared in films, though "Fortunate Son" is probably the one used the most (especially in Vietnam War-based movies). Drummer Kenny Aronoff said when he was a kid reading a Hulk comic Credence came on the radio & he thought if The Hulk sang that's what he'd sound like! Years later Kenny got to record on Forgerty's "Blue Moon Swamp" album and toured with John between gigs with John Mellencamp and Bob Seger in the mid 90's. Forgerty's "The Old Man Down The Road" is an awesome song from his solo career.

    This song is in every American Vietnam War movie. Also in Forrest Gump, among many, many other movies/tv shows. It's about the 'fortunate sons' of US politicians or rich people who were able to avoid being sent to Vietnam to fight. Most of the young men sent there were from poorer families. CCR have other very, very famous songs like "Run Through the Jungle' that are also featured in many war movies & action movies etc.

    Greetings again from San Francisco!
    “Fortunate Son” is one of, if not THE greatest anti-Viet Nam war protest songs, EVER!!! It’s usually found accompanying film taken from UH-1D helicopters, often from a door gunner’s point of view. This song also accompanies film of napalm being dropped on jungles and hillsides.
    The point of the song is that if you came from money, it was easy to avoid being drafted and sent to Viet Nam. College deferments were easily obtained, and since poor or average middle class kids were likely not attending college or university, they were the first to go. Donald Trump got out of being drafted because he allegedly had bone spurs. Presumably from playing too much tennis. How many poor kids play tennis?
    “Fortunate Son,” along with all of CCR’s albums, was recorded at the Fantasy Records studio in Berkeley, California. This was also the recording location for Jouney’s “Escape” album and Green Day’s “Dookie” album. According to Wikipedia, Fantasy Studios permanently closed in 2018. Sad. Such music history should live forever.
    Thanks for checking out the music that I grew up with.

    the draft. He was successful but it was all for nought, he
    was killed for no reason in car accident. Love of my life.
    He did, however, give me Abby Road and this song. ❤

    Next try "The Midnight Special" - "Bad Moon Rising" - "I Heard it Through the Grapevine(Hoid)" - "Lodi" - "Run Through the Jungle" - "Long as I Can See the Light" any one of these would do you justice, the list is just so long and will take you a long time to go down this rabbit hole!

    My younger brother was in the last year for the draft, but no one was called. A friend’s draft number was 1, from the high school graduating class of 1970. He enlisted to avoid the Vietnam war. Another friend’s brother came home from Vietnam and committed suicide. It was a hard time to be a young man.
    Listen to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s song: Ohio. It’s about a demonstration against the Vietnam War at Kent State University. Four students killed when the National Guard opened fire on the protesters.

    Basically any film that involves war or specifically the Vietnam war will almost definitely play this song. CCR are one of the best, underrated bands - all their songs sound so good, no flops. I’d like to recommend Proud Mary (made more famous by Tina Turner) and Have you ever Seen the Rain: Up Around the Bend; Down on the Corner; Born on the Bayou; Run Through the Jungle; their 11min jam cover of Heard it Through the Grapevine (Marvin Gaye classic)

    The members of Creedence Clearwater Revival were from El Cerrito, California, across the bay from San Francisco. Their sound is called "swamp rock," though none of them was from the south. John Fogerty, the lead guitarist and vocalist, affected a Louisiana accent.
    The song is about the Vietnam War and the draft. Military service was supposed to be universal, but the sons of the wealthy and well-connected were protected from having to serve. It was mainly the poor and middle class who fought and died in that war.
    CCR were a hit machine from 1968 through 1972, when they broke up because they weren't getting along with each other. Somehow during that time they never had a #1 hit, though they had several #2 hits. Some of their best:
    Proud Mary
    Bad Moon Rising
    Green River
    Down on the Corner
    Travelin' Band
    Who'll Stop the Rain
    Up Around the Bend
    Run Through the Jungle
    Lookin' Out My Back Door
    Long As I Can See the Light
    Have You Ever Seen the Rain

    The great John Fogerty of Creedance--fantastic, unmistakable vocal, guitar and songwriter. See other songs: "Born on the Bayou", "Traveling Band", "Bad Moon Rising", "Who'll Stop the Rain?", "Proud Mary"--but definitely NOT a southern band. They were pure late-60s, early 70s California band--members met at Portola Junior High School (roughly 7th-9th grade, ages about 13-16) in El Cerrita, California.

    Back when these songs were recorded, it was felt that people didn't have the attention span to listen to a song that was more than 3 or 4 minutes long. How wrong they were! When you listen to longer songs, especially SRV, it always seems to end way too soon. I could listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival all day. Good choice! This was the sound of a generation.

    Creedence was the soundtrack of the Vietnam War. They broke out in 68' with their first hit, "Suzi Q", which was an unheard-of length of 20 minutes. John Fogerty, wrote the music, sang lead vocals, played lead guitar, did all the mixing, and was later betrayed by his own band which ended Creedence.

(I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s America). CCR is charting again by the way. Check out Have you ever seen the rain, Green River, Proud Mary, yes John wrote that too, Bad Moon Rising, Run Through the Jungle, Up Around the Bend there are many for you to listen to. Oh and the ever popular I heard it Through The Grapevine. Love your feel for the music, your soul feels it deeply. ❤

    Love you MollyBoy! This is my favorite CCR song! Saw them 3 times in the late 60s/early 70s. Just this one song has been used in the soundtracks of 10 different films from 1994 (Forest Gump) to 2017! This came out during the Vietnam War. Still relevant today! Credence has been on my bucket list to see again. Finally getting to see John Fogerty (lead singer, guitarist, songwriter) again in August at The Thunder Valley Venue in Northern California. His sons now play with him. The band itself broke up in 1972 over John’s dispute with the record label, who refused to let him buy back his own songs. He waited the 20 years until copyrights expired to get his songs back. Interesting enough, John is from Modesto, a town in the Central Valley of California. Neither he nor his parents were ever from a Southern state? He’s always sounded like he was born in the Southern States of the U.S.
