Revision as of 14:00, April 20, 2007
It should also be noted that the tune of 'God Save the Queen' was stolen by some American upstart ( Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895 I believe), and in doing so subjected her revered and glorious majesty Queen Victoria (God bless her and all who sail in her) to the indignities of Listening to a cheapskate version called "My Country 'tis of thee" sung to HER tune. (The very thought of it makes me shudder) --Felix 09:40, 20 April 2007 (EDT) [[1]]
- And I think the Germans nicked the same tune for their own national anthem, until the current one was adopted in the 1930s (by guess who?). Dorpfeld 09:43, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
I do think that there ought to be a reference to this version of | God Save the Queen--Felix 09:47, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
- Yes, I agree. Do you want to edit the page? Dorpfeld 09:51, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
- No I would prefer you to be the one who gets the ban :P --Felix 09:58, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
- We could add it as a disgustingly outrageous example of an egregious and unprovoked attack on the establishment. Dorpfeld 10:00, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
