The famous 'War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing' chorus from Edwin Starr, used in memes and edits to reject conflict or bad ideas.

This clip captures the explosive chorus of Edwin Starr singing War over a driving funk groove, shouting the title then answering his own question with absolutely nothing. The vocal is raw and urgent, backed by punchy drums, bass and horns that make the short excerpt feel much bigger than a simple voice line. It lands instantly because the call and response is so familiar, turning a protest lyric into a punchy reaction that can undercut an argument, a dramatic announcement or an overblown fight scene in seconds.

War was written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong and first recorded by The Temptations, but Edwin Starr released the best known version in 1970 and took it to number one in the United States. Written during the Vietnam War era, its anti war message connected far beyond the charts and the chorus became a lasting pop culture shorthand. The song has been covered, sampled and quoted in films and television for decades, which is why the central question and answer still work online as an instant anti conflict reaction even without the full track.
