I believe that’s the theme from a really bad movie. Huge hit when it was made. “Billy Jack, “ that was it.
Indeed it is. Maureen McGovern covered the song for the really bad movie,
Billy Jack.
How the song relates to the movie, I don't have a clue, I've never seen the movie. I will go out on a limb and say there is no connection between the two...from what I have heard about the movie. :Hmm
I think maybe Billy Jack was supposed to embody the “One Tin Soldier.†His character was one of a few “Magic Indians,†a parallel to the “Magic Negro†category - the minority whose task is to save the day.
As for songs not related to movies, I’ll give $5 and a homemade apple pie to anyone who can justify “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head†to “Butch Cassidy†in anyway, shape, or form. It was clearly meant only as a promo for the movie; there was no other connection at all.
