Song of the Day: 'Galveston' by Jimmy Webb

Recently learned that this Jimmy Webb classic -- made popular by Glen Campbell -- had been softened to not play up its barely anti-Vietnam sentiment, a war that cost 58,220 American lives, and as many as 3.8 million Vietnamese.

Original: 

Wonder if she could forget me 

I'd go home if they would let me 

Put down this gun 

And go to Galveston. 

However, in Campbell's version, this was changed to: 

I still hear your sea waves crashing 

While I watch the cannons flashing 

I clean my gun 

And dream of Galveston

  That Jimmy Webb sure knows how to write a song.
