Thanks. I looked it up. Very interesting how Francis S. Key used an old bar shanty that originally commemorated a greek poet, the myrtle flower of the goddess Venus/Astarte & the drinking of white wine.
This needs to be performed in a historical drama with Hugh Laurie, Kunal Nayyer, Ben Whitsaw, Daniel Kulaaya, Paul Williams, Jake Wood, Idris Elba, Mark Williams, Jess Harnell, Rob Paulsen and Cooper Barnes.
Lol. Only the ones who slept through history class. Personally, I love that Francis Scott Key put the lyrics to our anthem to this tune. Was a savage move. Truly rebellious. A very American thing to do. Lol. 😂
Nice song, difficult to understand the lyrics, but when you learn the history of what the lyrics describe that's when it gives you the chills to know of the bravery of these men that with so little resources and training you realize the courage that they had to fight the giant oppressor. @@katdelrio5316
What a spin, you must have tied your self in knots trying to make sense of that. The use of the tone seems low and cheap to me. An embarassibg lazy effort. An unoriginal infatuation of everything British @katdelrio5316
@@rickyrunks510 lmao if you think its lazy then you havent tried writing a song before, let alone a national anthem XD, besides, this version sucks anyway. The us national anthem is infinitely better.
As an American, I never should have listened to this. Kind of like whenever I hear My Country Tis Of Thee. For some reason reminds me about the Queen/King… lol
Other national anthems had origins from other countries, too. Examples: Het Wilhelmus - the oldest national anthem in the world - the anthem of the Netherlands - was a French military marching song; Hatikvah - from Israel - was a Romanian folk song but an Italian dance before that.
Oh you referring to the map and the flag? It's correct. Thats the flag of Great Britain. It was just England and Scotland (Wales was part of England). The flag was just a combination of England and Scotland's flag no diagonal cross. Act of Union was 1801. This is 1700s. None of Ireland was in the UK. We hadn't JOINED the chat yet.
It just amazes me that even though we declared our independence from England, the United States has had a lot of English influences. We took the tune of this song and wrote the Star Spangled Banner, and we took the tune of God Save the Queen and wrote My Country Tis Of Thee. I think it was just an epic kick in the butt to England.
immigrants just ripped shit off because they were poor peasants bro, and the rest of the british didnt give the slightest half of a fuck about america, you were nothing compared to the empire.
Not really a kick in the butt America is culturally very British so it's probably because many Americans were very familiar with songs like this and they just use them for their anthems
@@mrbutch308 Did you capture American football too! Came from a British game called rugby, and Baseball, came from a British game called rounders, apple pie! known in Britain for a hundred years before America, yes captured indeed, like many other things 'aqueired' by America and then claimed as American!
@@tomnicholson2115 Other things the Yanks "captured" from the Brits include everything from steam locomotives, postage stamps, light bulbs (patented in the UK before Edison!) to automatic teller machines (ATMs). However, the Brits "adopted" some of the worst aspects of American culture" McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Heinz ketchup, Heinz beans, Rock and Roll, Hip Hop, etc.
its also about sex, "intwine" like myrtle of venus and bacchus' wine so basically American anthem comes from a vulgar folk song that sings about drinking and having sex. LOL
@octosquid48 I've said it before and I'll say it again, no matter how America ultimately ends, it will be a fitting end, because the problems that cause it's demise will be ones that our nation has had since the beginning
@davidcope5736 look on Google for HERA STATUEs my guy, keep enlarging & scrolling, eventually you will see multiple statues in the results where ZEUSs wife HERA is feminine from the waist up with male genetalia...
