Come on baby, the human race needs you...

I've heard some cheesy pick-up lines in my time but asking a girl to have sex with you because you might be dead tomorrow is a new one on me. Not only that, but the very survival of the human race is at stake if you don't have sex right now! I know this is supposed to be a serious "message" song about war and all that but lyrics like "You better love me today/Tomorrow I may be gone/What you gonna do girls/On Earth alone?" make me think the Chairmen just came up with some new (and fiendishly clever) ploy to get inside women's pants and are only pretending to be socially-conscious because that's what the chicks dig. Whatever their motives, this is one seriously funky number by one of the (relatively) unsung great bands of the 70s. I highly recommend the compilation Everything's Tuesday which is full of cracking tunes and the wonderful, pleading voice of General Johnson. If that's not enough Chairmen for you there's also the whopping 60-track Finders Keepers set.
