Talk:Khe Sanh (song)

message: In some versions (including the YouTube video), Barnesy sings "and I sold my soul with my cigarettes" rather than "my soul was sold".
Also, I removed the incorrect reference to John Schumann. With his band The Vagabond Crew, he modifies the first line in this version to "I owe my life to the choppers at Long Tan". The song is credited as Khe Sanh (Long Tan Version). http://www.schumann.com.au/john/portrait.html#behind  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.74.149.20 (talk) 17:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alternate lyrics 

message: I have seen Khe Sanh called the "alternate national anthem" and such many times before because it is so well known be nearly everyone in Australia. I would add this to the article, though I have no knowledge of editing Wikipedia and would have to do complicated referencing things so I am just leaving it as a message on the talk page and hoping that someone knowledgeable can do it. 210.56.72.252 (talk) 12:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  National anthem 

message: Is the US accent deliberate, or normal for the band at this time?
As noted in the article, "Sanh" in North America is pronounced "son" as in "sonic", or like "barn" as the article says.
Hence, Kay Sonic.
It is never pronounced like "man" as it is in the song.

replies: text: My guess is an unconscious Americanisation, like how the pronunciation of "can't" is often changed, but I haven't seen a ref one way or the other. Doctorhawkes (talk) 20:39, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  American accent 

message: I cna see there had been a reversion tiff about Kapooka vs Broken Hill. The page currently (24 July 2014) says "The line in the song that mentions the Silver City is a reference to the corrugated metal army barracks in Kapooka." 
Is there any reference for this? Without one this looks like original intepretation, which does not belong here. It will also help with authority for a contested assertion.

replies: text: I have read this somewhere, I think in an old Rolling Stone or RAM. I can try and hunt it up, but could take some time, so in the meantime it's probably best left out.Doctorhawkes (talk) 20:45, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

text: Okay, DoctorHawkes, it might be best to take it out until a citation is found, as it is being cited as an authority elswhere on the web. I'll do it now. Deoxyribonucleic acid trip (talk) 04:55, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

message: "Kh" is pronounced like "ch" in Scots "loch". "e" is pronounced as in "bed".
"Sanh" is pronounced as in "sang" in the North, "sahn" around Khe Sanh itself (I base this on my experience of pronunciation in Hue), and "shahn" from (I believe) Da Nang all the way down. Take your pick.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyphatma (talk • contribs) 07:04, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
