    I've heard the song a million times, but I never remember the name of it.

    Pretty much a requirement for anything that ever takes place during the Vietnam war.
     
    I mean how would we have known what time period this was in had they not been playing that song?

    I always found it strange though, putting an anti war song in games where war is just so damn fun.

    I didn't read anything that was written but the title, scrolled down to the comments section with my eyes closed, and I'm going to take a wild guess on this and say: 
     
    "Fortunate Son" by Credence Clearwater Revival 
     
    Let's see if I was right.

    Give him the benefit of the doubt. He might be from a third world nation that doesn't have access to any of the popular music, movies, films, or other pieces of pop-culture from the last forty years. 
     
    Also, pro-tip: type in about four words from the lyrics of any song and then type in "lyrics" and google will typically solve this question for you.

    I actually don't remember any CCR in the game. I only remember Sympathy for the Devil and Gimme Shelter.

    It's the first song in the first part of Khe Sanh, like it's the first thing you hear.  
     
    Actually the radio DJ even mentions the title, I believe.

      It's THE Vietnam song. You can't make a Vietnam movie without the song somewhere in the movie.

    I'm pretty sure it was, but I could totally be wrong. Honestly, Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the Devil, and Fortunate Son are all essentially one giant blended 60's war movie cliche, so if you hear one in relation to anything military related, your brain probably just makes the assumption that you're hearing all three. Sort of how if you hear a movie described as "some bland middle aged white guys and a token black guy escape their wives and try to recapture their pathetic youth!" you just automatically assume that you're hearing Bad to the Bone and Born to be Wild along with it. :/

    The songs I recognized in Black Ops were:
     
    1) Fortunate Son - CCR - When huey first lands and Woods gets out when you arrive in Vietnam.
    2) Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones - During Vietnam mission on the boat going down the river shootin' shit.
    3) Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones - During the End Credits.
    4) Won't Back Down - Eminem - During End Credits. (Note: Why was this song in a 60s/70's era war game? Didn't fit imo.)

    It plays twice, once at the start of the first Vietnam level, and again at the end.
