...had buoyed such tunes was missing in this greater, more terrible war: efforts such as ‘Goodbye Mama, I'm Off to Yokohama’ and ‘You're a Sap, Mr Jap’ fell flat. The reality of the war was captured more by such songs as Frank Loesser's ‘Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition’. Domestic dislocations received bittersweet recognition in a woman's lament, ‘They're Either Too Young or Too Old’.
