JACOB'S LADDER - CHUMBAWAMBA - Zero G Sounds (Anti War Song)

Chumbawamba - Jacob's Ladder - (Anti-War Song) :Zero G Sounds


"Chumbawamba. An earlier version of the song, criticizing Winston Churchill, was included on their 2002 studio album "Readymades", but in response to the incipient Iraq War, the group rewrote the song as a broader criticism of war. It has been described as an anti-war song, and incorporates folk influences as well as sampling, for example a vocal sample from Harry Cox, courtesy of the English Folk Dance and Song Society."
