I think they are, you just can't see them clearly.

Anyway, to quote the wiki:

Built on a modified Battlefield 1942 engine, Battlefield Vietnam had many new and improved features from its predecessor. The game gives the player a variety of weapons based on the war. Various contemporary weapons and concepts are featured such as the AK47 assault rifle and punji stick traps. It also has several additions to it, such as air-lifting vehicles and, while in a vehicle, playing the vehicle's radio, which featured 1960s music. Players can also replace the vehicle soundtrack with their own music tracks.

Surfin' Bird was one of the tracks. First place I heard it in fact, so whenever I hear it, and:

Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Fortunate Son" (opening theme)-As a reference to Platoon (film) and Forrest Gump.
Edwin Starr - "War"
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas - "Nowhere to Run"-As a reference to Good Morning, Vietnam.
The Troggs - "Wild Thing"
Rare Earth - "Get Ready"
Canned Heat - "On the Road Again"-As a reference to Tour of Duty (TV series).
The Guess Who - "Shakin' All Over"
Count Five - "Psychotic Reaction"
Deep Purple - "Hush"
The Kinks - "All Day And All Of The Night"
The Kinks - "You Really Got Me"
The Box Tops - "The Letter"
Jefferson Airplane - "Somebody to Love"
Bobby Fuller Four - "I Fought the Law"
Budapest Symphony Orchestra - "The Ride of the Valkyries"-As a reference to Apocalypse Now.
The Trashmen - "Surfin' Bird"-As a reference to Full Metal Jacket.
Jefferson Airplane - "White Rabbit" (Menu theme, instrumental remix)-As a reference to Platoon (film).

I think of Battlefield Vietnam and the Vietnam war.

I always cranked up the volume in BF:V whenever Surfin' Bird came up in the playlist. Suited the gameplay nicely. Many of my neighbors begged to differ until I pinged them a few times with DW.

Have the same thing with any track from the original Tour of Duty album.
(first album I ever owned, on cassette)

Less so with "Paint it Black", ironically.


Anyways, good that something that actually qualifies as music imho is still popular.
