You know trouble is right around the corner when your best friend tells you to hold his beer!!

It's a very touching song when you think of the circumstances, with the soldiers and their families, friends, and sweethearts separated by WWII.

"We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when...
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day..."  

It's also at the end of "Dr. Strangelove" when the nuclear bombs go off, which is where I first heard it.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?…

One of the most underrated songs on the best album ever written. RIP
