BEAST Posted November 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2012 Ok, We have really good threads on favorite war movies and favorite lines from war movies, so let's look at the music. What is your favorite song, either sung during the show or even the theme song? For me, it is the scene in Zulu, when, faced with a brutal attack by the Zulu warriors, the Welsh Regiment defiantly sing "Men of Harlech". So, what's yours?

history-buff1944 Posted November 24, 2012 Share #10 Posted November 24, 2012 All John Ford's movies US cavalry songs. Ah yes--Yellow Stripes, for one and in a non Ford Cav western--would have to be: Garry Owen. Another Ford used great I do like was in: The Horse Soldiers and is called: I Left My Love.

history-buff1944 Posted November 24, 2012 Share #11 Posted November 24, 2012 Kelley's Heroes theme song. Bobgee The name your thinking of for the thematic music is: Burning bridges and is by the Mike Curb Congregation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
history-buff1944 Posted November 24, 2012 Share #12 Posted November 24, 2012 Some not mentioned but are great themes are: For, The Alamo: The Green leaves of Summer. For, The Bridge Over the River Kwai: Colonel Bogey March. For, They Died With Their Boots On: A combination fo Garry Owen and Dixie. Too many others to list--but I also love the theme music for: Patton, Where Eagles Dare, Das Boot, and many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrei Posted November 24, 2012 Share #14 Posted November 24, 2012 Ah yes--Yellow Stripes, for one and in a non Ford Cav western--would have to be: Garry Owen. Another Ford used great I do like was in: The Horse Soldiers and is called: I Left My Love. "I Left My Love" is a great song but it is not a traditional cavalry anthem, it was written for the movie. Still a beautiful song and one of my favorite even if my heart has always been for Johnny Reb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEB Posted November 26, 2012 Share #20 Posted November 26, 2012 I woke up from a dream this morning, having been replaying these soundtracks in my mind: The theme from Last of the Mohicans: from Empire of the Sun: And this from “The Mission” with Robert Dinero & Jeremy Irons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG9l2Ik67Gw But one of the best overall original scores ever was done for Lawrence of Arabia.

filupe Posted November 26, 2012 Share #22 Posted November 26, 2012 My vote: Theme music from the 1989 film 'Glory' starring Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. Composed by James Horner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwYig2CP66Q&feature=related Great movie too and I'm not even an ACW buff ... (or even American for that matter) ... in contrast to ... The theme song from 'Over There' ... I'm sorry guys but the cheesy song pretty much put me off the whole series. As it was composed and sung by one of the show's creators I couldn't get over the nepotism of it all. Pity as it wasn't a bad show ... just that damn song ....

Sabrejet Posted November 26, 2012 Share #23 Posted November 26, 2012 How about The Stones' "Paint it Black" from the old tv show "Tour of Duty"? Very apt seeing as how The Stones celebrated 50 years in the music business last night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z6fcd--354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted November 26, 2012 Share #24 Posted November 26, 2012 Every now and then the theme from COMBAT! sneaks into my head. Gotta say that the intro to Tour of Duty did have an effect on me as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
