Question
I got a question for you.... this one has been a 'toughie',........between myself and my son, we have been unable to come up with the answer.  It has been suggested that we email some DJ's of area radio
stations, and perhaps they may have the answer for us, but unfortunately, they have been unable to come up with the answer.....
Here's our dilema....

There is a song from back in the late 70's or early 80's. We do not know the name of the song.  I believe it was sung by Grand Funk Railroad. The song begins with a bunch of children talking (in echo type).... saying something like "You're gonna die, You're gonna die"... or "You
live and you die, You live and you die". The Grand Funk comes on with their song.... and I believe the song ends again with the children talking once again.  We have searched the net, and Grand Funk Website and have been unable to come up with the song title.  We had originally
thought the song was "Born to Die"....we have listened to the song, but there are no children talking at the beginning of the song... so have
resolved that this is not the song we are after.

Do you happen to know what song we are talking about, and perhaps know the name of the song? If so please email me back,,,,
Thanks Geoff for any help you can give me on this one....

Answer
I have had my bots going for a few days now and all they came up with was "Born To Die".   Maybe this was an ablbum version of the song and the version send for radio play was edited without the background past (quite a common practice back then - shortened the song for more advertising per hour).

I will keep them going, but I can't promise anything.
