A Lark Ascending Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 "We'll Meet Again" as recorded by Vera Lynn is an iconic record in the UK alongside "The White Cliffs of Dover", summing up the WWII years. But by the 60s it was something your parents listened to with misty eyed memories. So why on earth did The Byrds and The Turtles record it in the mid-60s? I'm bewildered! Quote
Spontooneous Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 Probably something to do with its use in Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove." Once you see the film, you'll understand. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted August 22, 2004 Author Report Posted August 22, 2004 Ah! I've never seen it! Thanks! Quote
JSngry Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 You've never seen Dr. Strangelove? Speaking as a friend, I urge you to remedy that ASAP! Quote
Dan Gould Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 I'm utterly shocked, considering Bev's age and general political outlook (not to say its not a classic to a lot of right wingers, too). Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted August 22, 2004 Author Report Posted August 22, 2004 (edited) I've never been much of a film goer or TV watcher so I've missed most of the vital films of the last 49 years (I have seen Lawrence of Arabia!). Too much music to listen to! I'll look out for it on the TV! I know it by reputation but that's it! (I'm not sure I have a political outlook, Dan. Just a bundle of contradictory prejudices!)
