"Napalm Sticks to Kids" is a call and response running cadence occasionally used in the U.S. military.〔The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving In Iraq. Helen Benedict, Beacon Press, p. 37〕 The earliest recorded example is from 1970. A version containing a third verse is found in the final draft of the script for the movie ''An Officer and a Gentleman'', but only two verses made it into the film. The line of "Dow Chemical don't give a shit" was changed to "Chemical Service don't...", most likely to avoid liability. This ironic song was influenced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo taken in June 1972, showing Vietnamese children fleeing from a South Vietnamese Air Force napalm attack. Unfortunately, this reference is iffy, considering that the song was in existence in 1970 (if not earlier) when the photo that "inspired" the song was taken in 1972. ==Recorded versions== * Napalm Sticks to Kids, as recorded live by the First of the Ninth Chorus -- an impromptu group formed by troopers of the 1st of the 9th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division tape obtained in 1970 at Phuc Vinh, South Viet Nam. * English singer Bruno Lord made his blues based version in 1989 (using only four of the verses). As he was one of the members of ''Janus'', an English band based in Germany in the 70's, this version appeared on the re-release of their 1972 album ''Gravedigger'' in 1992 as a bonus track.
