USA national anthem from Russia

[okunevsky]

It is from the Silver Galosh Award for the most questionable achievments of Russian show-business. The last nomination is for musical plagiarism of the year when they play new songs and their supposed originals. The video shows an off-competition item of the nomination where they played an old Russian folk song (supposed original) and the American anthem. Of course It was done just for kidding and nobody really believes in plagiarizm.

Aside from that these two songs hardly even sound alike at all, there are facts of where all came from...

The music behind the U.S. Anthem came from John Stafford Smith's song that was written in the 1700's. "Has-Bulat" came into existence much later than that, in the 1800's I believe. So we did not steal our national song from the Russians.

Apparently we stole it from John Stafford Smith. ;)

The Star Spangled Banner was a three-verse poem written by Francis Scott Key and later put to the tune of a British drinking song and adopted as the national anthem of the US.

Автором музыки американского гимна является британский композитор Джон Стаффорд Смит. Он написал эту музыку в XVIII-м веке для Общества Анакреона. Позже она была переделана в гимн США.

"Хас-Булат удалой" был написан гораздо позже. Только 16 ноября 1858 года было опубликовано стихотворение, на музыку оно было положено ещё позже. В 1890-е годы устоявшуюся мелодию обработала О. Х. Агренева-Славянская.

It seems apparent to me that the Russians are making fun of the American national anthem. I wouldn't do that to any countries national anthem, it shows an utter lack of disrespect and morals. Ironic how I put morals and Russians in the same post eh?

[starush777]

@SSNWalker don't worry, there is nothing amoral with it. they just noticed that us anthem and one old russian song are sharing the same theme.

Well, there is the only thing that lacks moral. However, it is written by you: "Ironic how I put morals and Russians in the same post eh?"

@okunevsky

Then you sir are lacking a sense of humor. My last words were simply a joke. Вы понимаете? Я люблю русских и их культуры. The whole purpose of my post was to give the idea of the pot calling the kettle black. If I hurt your feelings then I apologize.

What are they singing? Is it a tribute to Usa or are they joking about them?

[list3000]

It shows music stealing

[Domety]

They found USA's hymn is very like a Russian folk melody of XIX c. It's the Russian worst song of a year award ceremony, so it's not the place to do anything in a tribute to anybody, but for jokes.

[Xbogey]

Хасбулат - не народная песня. Автор стихотворения Александр Аммосов (1823-1866), впервые опубликовано в 1858 году. Американский гимн примерно 1812 год.
