Country Joe McDonald

"Country" Joe McDonald (born 1942 in Washington, D.C) was the leader and lead singer of the 1960s rock & roll group "Country Joe and the Fish".

His best-known song is his "Fixing to Die Rag", a black comedy novelty song about the Vietnam War, whose familiar chorus ("One, two, three, what are we fighting for?") is a perennial symbol of the drafting, dodging and dying zeitgeist of the 1960s with its controversial war and commentary on war in general.
