Theme: Guns: The Guess Who "Guns, Guns, Guns"
The anti-hunting theme of the Guess Who's "Guns, Guns, Guns" (Cummings 1972) is painfully discernible; all probably due to the fact that this band from Canada witnessed the decimation and possibly near extinction of wild animals in their country (just a guess...).
Eagle all gone, and no more caribou Guns, guns, guns You be the red king, I’ll be the yellow pawn. God speed Mother Nature Never really wanted to say good-bye.
Another Guess Who song containing an environmentalist theme is their 1970 single "Share the Land" (Cummings).
I find it interesting that a song called "Guns, Guns, Guns" in the 1970s is an anti-hunting theme and not about war.
