Its the one at teh very beginning where the privates are getting their heads shaved. It is an old country song and sound very familiar but I cant place it.
Anybody know this Song from Full Metal Jacket?

Full Metal Jacket Facts
Former US Marines Drill Instructor R. Lee Ermey was hired as a consultant on how to drill USMC style. He performed a demonstration on videotape in which he yelled obscene insults and abuse for fifteen minutes without stopping, repeating himself, or even flinching - despite being continuously pelted with tennis balls and oranges. Director Stanley Kubrick was so impressed that he cast Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann
R. Lee Ermey hardly blinks at all in any scene.
Toward the end of the movie, when "Cowboy" uses the radio to request tank support, the voice of Murphy, to whom he is speaking, is none other than Stanley Kubrick.
To make Gunnery Sergeant Hartman's performance and the recruits' reactions as convincing as possible, Modine, D'Onofrio and the other actors playing recruits never met Ermey prior to filming. Kubrick also saw to it that Ermey didn't fraternize with the actors between takes.
SOUNDTRACK:
"Paint it black" - Rolling Stones
"Surfin' Bird" - The Trashmen
"Chapel Of Love" - The Dixie Cups
"Wooly Bully" - Sam the Sham and the Pharaoahs
"These Boots Are Made For Walking" - Nancy Sinatra
"Hello Vietnam" - Johnny Wright
**wacky fact below**
Advertisements for this film were censored in some parts of Canada due to he tagline "In Vietnam the wind doesn't blow, it sucks." At that time, Canadian censors had not yet decided whether the phrase "it sucks" (or "this sucks") was obscene.
