COHAN “Over There” - "The President's Own" U.S. Marine Band - Tour 2018 

this gal knocked it out the ball park she needs to do more like her style very well done

She Nailed it! I'm not even American and this gave me the chills

So proud of Sara and the Marine Band!

Remember that even though we have audio recordings of people singing this song at the time it was written, this song is over a century old now. It was written in 1917.

Lmao some 18 year old heard this in 1917 and was like *”Alright, hold my beer”*

Her voice really gives me early 1900 vibes. Amazing job!

She is stunning, amazing vocals, terrific performance from the USMC Band, much respect from the Russia

So proud to be an American

I first heard this song while in AP DC History and would sing it every morning as inspiration. Such a beautiful song. Thank you guys for such powerful performances!

This would certainly beat a bugle in the morning...

As a Turk, she sings so good, I love it.

Not just her vocals, her expressions. So masterfully done, in my opinion. Thank you for your service in any and all capacity!

Original lyrics very good.

That’s America to me baby!

How can such a beautiful voice sound so menacing? 👌🏻

In 1969 my high school choir traveled in Europe (mostly Germany). We performed a number of Cohan songs, but not Over There. We did not wish to annoy our German audiences. Overall it’s a great song and this performance was excellent.

I really love this rendition.

This is an less intimidating version, but to my personal preference I prefer the original one maybe with artillery and gunshots

Imagine going to war as a revolution in some random nation and you start to here this song over the hills

Thank God for the men who have sacrificed their lives fighting for the security of their people, families, friends, and homes. Thank you for the sacrifices of those who fought for what was right by God

Amazing. She has such a good voice and looks like she enjoys it.

My great grandpa did his military service in ww2 by preforming song for both Roosevelt and Truman, also recording songs to send to the troops.

She's great. Wonderful voice.

I was there in person! I loved every second of it

Bravo Zulu & thank you GySgt Sara Sheffield

Her version needs some can can dancers or something with it. It sounds very 1930ish

Mr. Cohen, such a songwriting genius.

Great stuff. A lovely voice, and cagney would have been proud of this. Thanks from UK. Frank in Bristol.

She looks like she is enjoying it too much, God bless America and its allies.

Beautiful!

You just can't help but smile when you see and hear her singing this. Great job by the conductor and band too.

Not only can she sang magnificently she’s cute as hell to

What a beautiful voice!

Great performance

my god she is beautiful.

Amazing voice ❤ keep up the amazing work 👏🏼 Love from the United Stats of America 🇺🇸

wow she is so talented

Why would people dislike this smh

This was excellent.

You guys sound great!

Here in Brazil, I liked this video and music.

Now that is good song.

though this song is over 100 years old, it aint forgotten yet thankfully

Absolute Ripper! In Aussie language, that means BRILLIANT!

Good redition Cohan would be proud ! Good job Marine semper Fi! GOD BLESS YOU AND THE MARINES ARMY NAVY AIR FORCE COAST GUARD ALL SERVING WHERE EVER THEY MAY NEEDED

Im not an American, but I solute you all. You are good people and a force for good in this world. God bless America and God bless her brave defenders of democracy!

beautiful song, beautiful voice

great video

I’m only 9 years old and I think this is awesome I learned this in studies weekly and I’ve been listening to this for a long time almost know the whole song ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

They knew the USMC had arrived when this song was popular. The British and the French wanted to pull back and the response from the Marine general was: Withdraw? Hell, we just got here.

Eminem has been pretty quiet after the US marines dropped this

Imagine hearing this song while you hear the screams of the just-dead and wounded man in battle... A scene to remember...

You did George M proud! Fabolous Job!

I really like her voice. She nails the older school singing.

👍👏👏👏 And Respect for all, Soliers WWI...🇲🇫

Amazing 👏🙀

Congratulations to all the winners in the year of 2022 election primary race

This song is a great contrast to "I Ain't Marching Anymore"

Outstanding !

Nice voice. First time I've heard the second verse of that song.

He’ll let loose brought me here. She is a beautiful singer

It's a good song

My first knowledge of this song was it being used to sell car insurance in the UK, but it's kind of catchy with the actual lyrics

In regard to the numerous embarrassing sexist comments about the appropriateness of a woman singing this song: 1) the first recording of the song was by a woman as was (mostly) the popular version in the Cagney movie Yankee Doodle Dandy, 2) this version is an entertainment by a singer with a great voice and presence in a great arrangement not a war cry, 3) the woman is a Gunnery Sargent in the Marine Corps and would have completed military basic training in a prior position in the Army and therefore would qualify for the basic military classification as a rifleman which certainly would render her appropriate to sing patriotic songs in my book. Stunning ignorance by those negative commenters.

Merci pour cette chanson de patriotisme

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎🇺🇸🇺🇸😎🔥🔥4th of July

I'm on it

happy veterans day

She's good.

Hell let loose!

George M. Cohan

Im American and I’m proud of my country! Yes, the Yanks are coming!

Wow

Based

Grandpa Mat must be vibin now in heaven if he hears this !

My ex is a WM and this made me miss her so hard 😭 greetz from Austria btw

the best nothing more

USMC 1968 - 1970, 3rd & 5th Mar. Div. OORAH!

Playing this tomorrow at a WWI Rededication!!

Awesome

I don't get why the lyrics are changed to "we'll be all over"...

Nice I love it

She changes the meaning of the word "tanks". She says: "from the towns TO the tanks". As if to mean a tank as an armored vehicle. Citizens becoming soldiers who serve in the tank corps. Now, listen to the lyrics in the Cagney movie. He sings: "from the towns AND the tanks". Elsewhere in the movie, he speaks of his family performing in "tank towns". This is some obscure OLD reference, which is Not made clear. Although, I suspect it refers to a water tower used to refill steam engines. As seen in many movies. Presumably these water tanks were every so many miles along rail-road routes. Being built and thus available, in every little village and hamlet. Consider the "context" of Cagney / Cohan speaking the phrase "tank towns". It seems to indicate he is talking about tiny, rural, obscure, virtually insignificant little bergs. "Sticks Nix Hicks Pics."

It was in 2018 and I love it that they're still going at it to the Huns hehe I have my own suggestions but meh, I still like this. "Stick it to the Huns for old time sake!" I guess lol

Her voice is silky

🥰'Nuff said.

“Yankee doodle DO or DIE” Oh hell yeah

Lets go america

When the German kid tries to get the Mexican kid to fight you

If this women did not enlist into the band, I will still think the President's Own will be the best, but not anymore, it now Army Field Band

I'm really disappointed in youtube. I got an ad for the Army. On music from the marines.

The 5th and 6th Marines and the 6th battle aquadron of the Grand Fleet (US battleships serving with the RN...) approve....

We need Jimmy Cagney!!!

Well I'll be a Yankee Doodle dandy

This is WWII lyrics version. "Goodbye Broadway, Hello France"

Morale boost.

0:45 you can tell she enjoyed this part of the song

George Cohan wrote this song in 1917.

Johnny, get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun. Take it on the run, On the run, on the run. Hear them callin’ you and me, Every son of Liberty! Hurry right away ,don’t delay, go today. Make your daddy glad ,to have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine (But) to be glad her boy’s in line. *Chorus* Over there! Over there! Send the word, send the word, over there. That the Yanks are coming! The Yanks are coming! The drums rum-tummin’ everywhere. So prepare, (And) say a prayer. Send the word, send the word to beware. We’ll be over, we’ll be on over. And we won’t come back till’ it’s over, over there! *Verse 2* Johnny get your gun, Get your gun, get your gun. Johnny show the hun, You’re a son of a gun. Hoist that flag and let ‘er fly! Yankee Doodle do or die! Pack your little kit, Show your grit, do your bit. Yankees to the tanks, To the towns, to the ranks. Make your momma proud of you, In the old Red, White and Blue. *Chorus* -again Over there! Over there! Send the word, send the word, over there. That the Yanks are coming! The Yanks are coming! The drums rum-tummin’ everywhere. So prepare (And) say a prayer. Send the word, send the word to beware. We’ll be over, we’re comin’ over. And won’t come back till’ it’s over, over there!

Cohen is still the best.
