Hell, this surprises you? Reagan used to play Springsteen's Born In The USA at his rallies with no sense of irony and no understanding of what the song was actually about. Frankly I'm surprised that Trump wasn't playing Warrior Soul's 'The Wasteland' because they mention him in it...

@Fhjthnl Lol Iuyo if "reeee" didn't tip ya off, yer royal highness karen, it's all a big sarcasm. I'm not irish and i've never been even remotely near, and all of europe's laughtrack material.
I don't care what anyone says, I grew up loving CCR but the Murphys NAILED this version. John Fogerty himself would approve. WTG. . . this rocks. Knocked this sucka WAY out of the park.
Best one: original 2nd: Dropkick murphys and the forest rangers It's amazing how a single song can get so manu different feelings out of it, this one of course is the furious one
Don't be silly, Zachary Varshay, "It Ain't Me" is one of DM's classic songs. It's right up there with "I Don't Ever Wanna Feel" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Woo Hoo" by Blur, and "Aaaaaaaaah" by Led Zeppelin.
LYRICS (Creedence Clearwater Revival) Some folks are born made to wave the flag Ooh, they're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief" Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, oh But when the taxman comes to the door Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no Yeah! Some folks inherit star spangled eyes Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord And when you ask them, "How much should we give?" Ooh, they only answer, "More! More! More!" Yo It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
Everyone can have their own opinion, and I'll say this, I'm a huge Dropkick Murphys Fan and I like this cover, but it doesn't beat the original done by CCR
Wrong; IT IS a CCR song....here's the link to he Wikipedia entry on the song.....plus I remember hearing it all way back in the late 60s when the song first came out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortunate_Son
Still think Circle Jerks have the best version. Great song, maybe the best ever protest song of all time. This is a great version, just like Corrosion of Conformity's
Wycleaf doing a CCR Cover is one of the Seals of the Apocalypse being Broken. But Yeah this has always been big with the Troops putting Boots on the Ground. Back in the 90s after the 1st Gulf War when I was in this song and Slayer's "War Ensemble" (especially with the Fly Boys) were Music that just gave us an edge. By the way, Thanks for the Service.

Thanks :) Its good to know that there are other people who know good music when they hear it.CCR had their fun with it and their version was good but now its all about the drop kick murphys and they rocked it better!!!!!!!!! lol
That goes without saying, but where are the mainstream artists? Where are the famous people that can reach a large audience like John Lennon did? They owe it to the world & to society as human beings to give the people a voice just like we gave them a voice. Just like in Russia with Pussy Riot. Right now a garage band is making major headlines for fighting the establishment when you don't hear a damn thing from the really famous Russian artist.....
i think it can be better than the original for certain persons (like me) but i do think that the original is better for most people. and thats absolutely justified. Dropkick Murphys did a great job, and i like it more, but i wont call it "better" than the original. its a bit wierd. i hope you guys get that
It's still the theme song for any soldier situation. They recruit out of down trodden neighborhoods and promise poor kids an education in lieu of the occasional missing limb.
This song was rebellious against the leaders of the United States and it was talking about George Bush during Vietnam. It has nothing to do with bithright and everything to do with dodging the draft, thus the "Fortunate Son"
I prefer the CCR version, but that means nothing against the band or anyone else. Music is based on opinion, some people like it, some don't. Doesn't give you the right to bash others or other bands/countries just because you prefer another song. Just enjoy the music!

Vietnam meets the Fighting Irish. Oh damn it's amazing.
Rabies I heard this at a trump rally it was awesome
@@mickfunny4185 I doubt the Dropkick Murphy's would've been happy with that
C Trump doesn’t care what artists think he’s just plays their music like the Stones

These guys are Americans....they just have Irish ancestors like most Americans
Gotta love Dropkick! From Boston and bad ass and Not afraid to express their love for their heritage. Awesome!
Man I remember seeing them live in my home town Boston on Saint Paddy's day...best night of my life!
Heavy and powerful....a different expression of the original rhythm.... I love it.
Came here after just hearing the CLUTCH cover. Both sweet!
Both are wicked eh :)
Saw them live a couple weeks ago. Greatest night of my life.
Yeah their awesome live my brother got to play drums with them live a couples years back it was amazing
Mikey, when was that??
@@Miggo9000 About 5 years ago.
@@MrCoww Oh okay
gotta love how they keep the traditonal songs straight up with their style. it's great!
I love this album! Been a while and this song popped up. Oh yeah!!!! Why I loved this album!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🍻🍻
If the Irish went to nam instead of us
These guys are Americans lol. Whatcha mean man?
We would've beaten seven shades of shite out of the Vietnamese
Then they would of won the war
Be a bunch of lads in nam names Sean Mcasian
Plenty of Irish-American soliders fought in nam🤦🏻♀️
Guys a cover is not mean to "beat" the original.
just get over that stupid argument and enjoy the song
They play this at a Trump rally
jesus. really?
Hell, this surprises you? Reagan used to play Springsteen's Born In The USA at his rallies with no sense of irony and no understanding of what the song was actually about. Frankly I'm surprised that Trump wasn't playing Warrior Soul's 'The Wasteland' because they mention him in it...
omfg yes! you get it. all the things... I wanna marry you. lgbt Marry you if you're a dude
Dead fuckin' right!
I'm a fan of the original very interesting and very cool cover that's the wonderful thing about music you interpret it the way you feel it
When you're an Irish peacekeeper in the Congo and the bush starts speaking French, German and Dutch
I definitely prefer CCR's vocals over this but the instrument is just beautiful in the DM's version

Drop the speed settings to 75%. Sounds awesome
it actually does, the sludgy guitars through the bridge are quite nice.
This made this cover even better.
Heard this on the radio during work. Shit got done that day.
Fortunate song is amaaaazing. I love this cover.
Planken Listen them play Baba'o Riley even better cover :)

I don't care what anyone says, I grew up loving CCR but the Murphys NAILED this version. John Fogerty himself would approve. WTG. . . this rocks. Knocked this sucka WAY out of the park.
Oh my god, so sick! I love both of these bands!
It ain't me, I am no Irish man's son but I still love this xD
Best one: original
2nd: Dropkick murphys and the forest rangers
It's amazing how a single song can get so manu different feelings out of it, this one of course is the furious one
The CCR original is still the best, but this is good.
Heard this for the first time on the radio. Friday after drivin home from work, and this comes on. Fuckin rock n roll boys.
Awesome fusion. The best of both generations.
Excellente reprise,compliments de France! Good recovery,compliments of France!
CCR make me remember to my father, but he doesn't like this kind of music, this song is my father and me
i think like you, but i like this music. I prefer the original of creedence clearwater revival.
Jesus Christ English bro, this is 4 years too late though damn near gave me a brain aneurysm
>love Dropkick Murphys
>go to see concert
>it ain't me starts playing

never heard this cover, totally agree with your comment tho. the ccr one is belta!
Nah its not even on same level... its alright, and sometimes I enjoy covers more but this aint one.
This is a Crosby Stills Nash and Young song not Creedence Clearwater Revival
Wrong; IT IS a CCR song....here's the link to he Wikipedia entry on the song.....plus I remember hearing it all way back in the late 60s when the song first came out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortunate_Son
You can never beat the OG Fortunate Son, but this is an interesting take on it.
Hmmm... Needs to be Irished up for it to truly reflect the DKM style. I've got a fever and the only cure is more accordion and bagpipes!
For being a pilot for some "light aircraft" and skydiver can say: good job ;)
"..they send you down to waaaar" lmao gotta love 'em
Guys... This is.. just perfect.
I've listened to it 16 times in a row since I found it.
Total bliss.
I didn't know they did a cover of this song omg I'm actually really excited now. Haha.
i think ccr would be proud. Grew up to ccr not a bad cover!
Killer version... I love it :)
Still think Circle Jerks have the best version. Great song, maybe the best ever protest song of all time. This is a great version, just like Corrosion of Conformity's

Damn good cover of CCR. Love the Dropkick spin on this song!
I don't think anyone has commented about this yet, but I think this is better than the original.
great cover - really like this - would love to see this live
Not normally one to like covers....but I gotta say, this is like an iron boot to the chest.....hell yeah!!!
Dropkick Murphy's are the only band that can do this song and im like "carry on"

as an irish man i know when there are good songs and this is a fucking good song
I sang this at karaoke tonight, It was awesome. I on the other hand, sounded like a dead sheep :)
Why do people always end up hating on each other in youtube comments? Shut Up and rock on!
My favourite song from CCR sang by my favourite band. Cool man! Do't know what's wrong with me that I didn´t know this...
Can’t fuckin wait to hear this on my Harley. Awww shit just got real.
This works brilliantly as a punk song.

I agree, Creedence rocks it, but this is the best Remake of this song I've heard
I was looking for songs of the dropkick murphy's and i came here at fortunate son from CCR and i like it DAMN :)
ccr+dropkick murphys=HOLY SHIT MY EARS JUST 'SPLODED WITH AWESOME
i think it can be better than the original for certain persons (like me) but i do think that the original is better for most people. and thats absolutely justified.

If there is ever a Second Vietnam War, would this be it's theme song?
Probably won't be.
Don't say that; it'd just look a lot different. US, VN, the Philippines and others facing off the PLA in the SCS.
Even tough the USA vs Vietnam was the Vietnam war we know today,it was the second.The first one was the Vietnam war of independence.
Russia also wouldn't be an ally of communist Vietnam most likely
It's still the theme song for any soldier situation. They recruit out of down trodden neighborhoods and promise poor kids an education in lieu of the occasional missing limb.
Cheers and oi from germany
My two favorite bands!
or the Circle Jerks, water rolls downhill even in sandiego you can find a slow ride to downhill on your skateboard
The drummer is amazing!!!
im 398749823759863267846587 years old and like this music!
CCR can never be beat.
Total conservative, supporter of the Vietnam war, and I find this song offensive. Also, I broke my computer trying to turn it up louder. ROCK!
Wow. This cover kicks serious butt. Great job guys.
I don't think John Fogerty would have a problem with this cover
I haven't even been BORN YET!!!
this song should be the national anthem for Vietnam
CCR for the fucking win and DROPKICK MURPHY........ Just perfect.......
great cover......nice one
yes, CCR originally wrote it about Vietnam.
fuck the haters, great cover
A lot of metal/punk band write/wrote songs against war in general.
Yo, I thought this was the recruiting sight for the Marine Corps. Can I talk to the Gunny?
esas si son canciones no como las porquerias de juntin gayber

I like the Circle Jerks cover, though this is okay too...
