Back in the 80s one of my supervisors in the military had a set of cassette tapes from his time in Vietnam during the war. He called it "Radio 69". It was Dave Rabbit, a DJ on an underground radio station called "Radio First Termer". You can download and listen to some of them [here](http://www.ibiblio.org/jwsnyder/rft/). A list of the songs played on the only known recorded version is [here](http://www.ibiblio.org/jwsnyder/rft/songs.html).
