(*Ahem*), I was NOT a grunt in Vietnam, I was an avionics tech, still slept in a sewer pipe on a FSB for most of my tour.

Seemed like most every USO type show would end with that song.

No one minded that the Asian chicks doing the show mangled the words.

We gotta get out of this place

The Box Tops came to our EM club in Bangkok. That was one of the songs they covered. All the guys were singing along with them. It was a special event so gf's were allowed on base. All the gf's including mine, got really pissed at us. They concluded that we all wanted to get away from them, and from Thailand.

Totally illogical of course, but normal behavior for Thai women.
