The Farm - "All Together Now" (1990)
The Liverpool band had a Top 10 hit in Britain and around the world with this emotional song about the famous 1914 Christmas Day truce, during which British and German soldiers decided to stop trying to kill each other and instead played football and exchanged gifts. The British and Germans gave each other their rations and showed each other photos of their wives and children - these soldiers, don't forget, didn't mean each other any animosity but were following orders or else face a firing squad.
