Ya know there's lots of things you expect in war. Carnage, the sleepless nights, but what they don't prepare you for is the incessant use of Fortunate Son. I would hear that song any time I was in a helicopter, or taking a swift boat deep into the jungle that song again.

The ending of the 1973 segment parodies that of the film musical version of Hair and the feature song "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)" source: Family Guy WIki
Actually, it's called "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)", as the OP said. There is another song in the musical that is called "Aquarius", but that's at the beginning and this song doesn't parody that.
Matt Dragoneed in the early seasons it was a lot more comedy based. over time it stopped and became well this... i'm not saying the newer seasons are bad but i have to admit pre brian's death family guy was the best family guy.
@@ben_dover97 Yeah honestly i get susrprised nowadays when i see a FG episode with JOKES and humor instead of just mindless rant about something Seth hates ir a character getting tortured
It’s funny how he specifically mentioned Godfather 2 instead of 1 could be dude to the fact that Peter doesn’t care for the first film as seen in season 4(which makes it funnier)
I would not be surprised if they made that entire episode based off of this one song. Like one of the writers thought of this parody and decided to write the episode just to include this one skit.
I love the fact that he's singing pretty good and this is a god damn joke 🤣 You know that you are a bad singer when Peter sounds better without autotune.
He's legit. A huge fan of all sorts of musicals since he was a kid, and you can really tell in the show. And you know those little musical hooks at the beginning and/or end of scenes? Each one is unique. Every episode is scored by a full orchestra because that's what Seth wants.
@Flicks I don't think he even performs outside of his TV shows because he became so focused on them so long ago. He just takes every opportunity in those shows to play with music. If you haven't seen The Orville, it's great for this. Many actors sing on the show.
I first saw Hair 1980 and I've watched it at least twice a year since. Hair, Harold and Maude, and A Star is Born (with Barbara and Kris) are my all time favorite movies. The 3 best movie soundtracks too.
I'm way more impressed by Seth McFarlane, being able to sing well in a variety of character voices, than I am by any boy band that has ever existed. Except mayyyyybe Boyz 12.
This a family guy version of the movie *Hair (1979)* ⬇️ m.ua-cam.com/video/qonj8k0FBmA/v-deo.html And this is Family Guy Through the Years: *Season 16, Episode 16* Soundtrack: *"Let the Sunshine shine in"* ⬇️ m.ua-cam.com/video/T8yssvCh3ac/v-deo.html
Watch the "Hair" musical film, the original segment is extremely emotionally heavy, as it expresses the emptiness that unrighteous wars bring. (We shouldn't have been in Nam, it wasn't our fight. Though the top brass feared the "Domino effect" theory of communism. )
I came from the actual musical Hair but so many people in the comments of the song from the movie were saying I came here from Family Guy and what the hell did I just watch
I like this version of the song, the way they sing it, not the actual words once I looked up what it was a parody of. It made me cry. I wasn't born when the Vietnam war was going on, but it's still sad to know so many of our soldiers were slaughtered.
my uncle was in nam. he was in the air-force. few years ago his body started having a negative reaction to the chemicals/radiation that affected his body over time. let's be positive and remember those who did live. i believe my dad was in nam as well he was a chef for the army.
My Uncle served in Vietnam, he was an infantryman and his squad was ambushed, him and 2 others survived. I don't know the details but I know he survived a crash landing in a helicopter. I think all Vietnam veterans deserve respect for what they went through. All veterans should be respected.

then it was broken by "Stabbed by Lady-Boy"
