"Camouflage" is a song by Stan Ridgway, from his 1986 album The Big Heat. Despite not charting in the United States, the song was a top 5 European hit, peaking at #2 in Ireland and #4 in the United Kingdom.

Song plot

The song is sung from the viewpoint of a young P.F.C. (Private first class) of the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. On a search and destroy mission he is separated from his patrol. Alone in the jungle, "hunting Charlies", he fears for his life when, unexpectedly, a "big marine" comes to his rescue introducing himself as "Camouflage". The two fight together through the course of a night making their way back to base, during which the PFC notices that Camouflage is unaffected by bullets and is capable of superhuman feats. Camouflage leaves after leading the PFC to the edge of his camp. On his return, the PFC is informed that Camouflage has been on his death bed for the past week and died the previous night, he said Semper Fi and his last wish being "to save a young marine".
