The story behind

Rage Against the Machine recorded Vietnow in 1996, as part of their album Evil Empire. The song lasts 4 minutes and 39 seconds, and sounds like a direct protest. The title, Vietnow, is a word that does not exist in English, but is used as an insult to refer to the United States. The band used it to criticize politics and war, especially the Vietnam war. The song became one of the most popular of their discography, with thousands of plays on Last.fm.
