“Iraqi War Song” Gives Protesters Musical Boost:
Country Joe McDonald’s Woodstock Anthem Updated


Sandpoint, ID — The famous Vietnam War protest anthem written 
and performed by Country Joe McDonald at the historic Woodstock 
concert in 1969, has been re-released with updated lyrics to 
serve the rapidly growing anti-globalization and War protest 
movement. The single titled, “The Iraqi War Song’ or ‘Feel Like 
I’m Smelling a Rat Rag,’” is a parody of the original “Feel Like 
I’m Fixin’ to Die Rag” that became the “rallying cry” of the 
hippie and baby-boomer generations. The song helped bring an end 
to the Vietnam War. 

The new lyrics were written and sung by an award winning health 
science writer and leading critic of the Bush administration’s 
emergency preparedness plans for domestic bioterrorism, Dr. 
Leonard Horowitz. The heavily credentialed doctor is currently 
working with Amnesty International officials in support of their 
developing HIV/AIDS human rights petition. He conceived of the 
project and contacted Joe McDonald (of “Country Joe and the 
Fish”) for support, which the folk hero freely granted.

The new song by “Country Bumpkin and the Hogs” offers comical 
hard-hitting lyrics that include references to the president 
as “that son-of-a-Bush,” who directs a globalist war for 
oil. “Most people know it’s a scam,” yet do nothing. “With 
Prozac-minds we don’t care to know why, whoopee we’re all gonna 
die!” 

The single, released today on CD by a non-profit publisher, 
Tetrahedron, LLC, is freely downloadable from 
www.healingcelebrations.com with a small optional donation 
requested ($4.49). All profits will be distributed to Amnesty 
International—among Joe McDonald’s favorite charities—to support 
the organization’s ongoing HIV/AIDS investigations, and to 
establish a special “Fund For American Political 
Prisoners,” sponsored by Dr. Horowitz. 

The publisher has asked individuals who freely download the CD 
to help distribute it to radio producers and hosts for repeated 
royalty-free broadcasting. 

The "Iraqi War Song" CD is expected to be made available through 
music and bookstores by mid-October. Until then, all orders and 
inquiries should be directed to the publisher at 1-888-508-4787. 
Country Joe's website, which links to all major anti-war protest 
and human rights organizations, is: http://www.countryjoe.com.
