Not knowing what you've found, heres a easier way. Ask what were some good movies made about the Vietnam war, then go to amazon and look at the soundtracks. For instance Platoon, Forrest Gump, American Grafitti pt 2, 1969, Easy Rider, Hamburger Hill, A Rumor of War, Coming Home, Air America, In Country. Even if these movies were about the war itself the participants were protesting also and the soundtracks reflect that. Also try http://www.highlandschools.org/teachers/rhall/vietnam/songs/index.html and www.vietnamsongbook.org Good luck hope this helps some

Probably the best is Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's "Ohio".
If any song from any era doomed a presidential administration, that was the one.
Since this is for a report, you have to find out what it referred to on your own, but good luck.
Yvonne: The actual title of that song is "For What It's Worth".
