  • WTF!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Why the hell is everyone saying this is Irish? The guy who wrote it was from Oldbury and was written in Stalybridge (both locations in England) for a 5 Shilling bet one drunken night. It was performed in the local Music Hall the very next night, and quickly became popular worldwide! This song isn't Irish, American or English, it's Universal!

  • @RebelSoldat1 or it could be any of the U.S. citizens who aren't stupid enough to believe this country serves its citizens anymore. :)

  • dont you think it should of been an irish flag seening the song is irish ?

  • SOPA

  • Feck sake lads! How this is an American song? If I look out my window, I can see Tipperary! And as far as I'm aware I'm not in America -_-'

  • @RandomPandaChick It was an Irish song, used for marching for motivation in BOTH U.S. and British Armies. It's a good tune, a good message, we're all allies... it's everyone on the Allies side song. But this particular uploader is likely an american, who learned of the song from the American military marching that used it. So you're right, but it's the message not the geography.

  • So the University of Missouri just ripped this off.

  • Salute to all vets of any war! Whether WWI or WWII, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, Iraq and Afghanistan. We support you!

  • @superturkeylegs HELL YES!

    

  • TIPPERARY IS A COUNTY IN IRELAND this is an irish song that the brits stole listen to the lyrics and thats not the only thing they stole....INDAPENDENCE!!

  • this is the song the IRA sang in ww1 before we considered them a terrorist organisation.

  • Класс! Привет из России!

  • USA pwnz Soviets

  • @Pechy222 You fucking idiot. Britain invented the TV, Radio ,Jet engine, steam engine, steam ship, train, computer, Telephone, camera and loads more what did America invent? a plane that would not even have worked without British inventions. Loads of Americans say to me "America discovered electricity". Well it was an Englishman who discovered it (Michael Faraday) and all thomas edison did was invent the first practical use for it

  • @NextGenerationMods Actually the US has invented many things. The automobile, assembly line, lighting rod, lightbulb, airplane, cotton gin, ipod, touch screen phones and nuclear power. and I'm not saying that any 1 country is better than the other, I'm just telling you to calm down and stop trying to start a flame war.

  • @Stormcloudxa1 I just get annoyed when Americans say that they saved our asses in WW1 even though Britain and France suffered over 9 million casualties (civilians included) and America only suffered 100,000. In WW2 Britain suffered 1 and a half million casualties (Civilians Included ) and The USA only suffered 432,000. My family fought in Both wars so this is a personal thing. I don`t mind America I just don`t like people slagging off my country when they wouldn`t say it to my face

  • @NextGenerationMods no-one slagged off your country, and he probably would say it to your face if you werent so far away lol. and where did you get the fact that britain and france lost over 9 million casualties as a result of war? thats very far off

  • @tangywangyify In WW1, France lost 7.5 million civilians/soldiers dead. Britain Lost 1.3 million killed, France lost 1.5 million Killed.So not very far off you idiot. In WW1 America joined in April 1917. They were expected to have 1 million Men in France by December.By December they ONLY had 140000.all American tanks were loaned by the British, Half the US airforce were French, all their equipment and uniforms were British and they were transported to France by Britain.

  • @NextGenerationMods ok so now you want to start insulting? fine you retard, i dont know where you get your facts from, such as, "In WW1, France lost 7.5 million civilians/soldiers dead." that is completely off the mark. and what is the point of the second half of your paragraph? no-one fucking cares you can copy and paste shit off websites. BTW, yes, the U.S. suffered over just over a hundred thousand DEATHS, not casualties-_-in total, the U.K. and france suffered over just..

  • @NextGenerationMods 2.7 million dead in total, your getting deaths and casualties mixed up retard. in your first post, your comparing what might be the casualties of the U.K. and france to the deaths of the U.S.

  • @tangywangyify alfred smash

  • @weaksauceIV wtf is this tommy lawl

  • @NextGenerationMods I understand. I just thought you were trolling or trying to start something is all. To be honest, i don't know where the apparent hate comes from. i thought we were allies, but the way some people argue on sites like this one makes me wonder what there so pissed off about.

  • Bah.....this is the Crappy Americanized version. Original is WAY Better.

  • Did anyone else catch that this is the song from "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" where Schroeder was playing this for Snoopy on the piano at the Halloween party?

  • WHO FREAKING CARES?!? I just enjoy the song.

  • i live up the road from this was made in england, im in stalybridge

  • Butt wipes. it is a British song...

  • this is british you dickead trying to pawn it off as your own fuckin american

  • @bubbles199348 It is American. We just changed the lyrics to "It's a long way to tip our aerie." If you don't like it you've got plenty of climbing to do.

  • It NOT AMARICAn, because Tiperrary is a square in London and London in the capital of Great Britain.

  • @rymicka In 1858 an American named John Solomon left Ohio and went all the way to Windsor Castle to treat Queen Victoria's ill tempered horse. Her Royal Highness tipped him $100.

  • @rymicka Tipperary is a place in the west of Ireland mate.

  • @orcstr8d il let u off ... what u mean climbing

  • @bubbles199348 "Tip-our-aerie"- Aerie def. from Random House dictionary: 1) the nest of a bird of prey as in an EAGLE or a hawk. 2) the LOFTY nest of any large bird.

    And the Bald Eagle is our national symbol.

    Go easy on the uploader "zzahier" his profile lists him as Pakistani- far from being a "fucking" American.

  • @orcstr8d the original written by jack judge says tipperary - a place in irleland - hence the irish man part of the song - the american version must have a differant name - i just got confused..

  • @bubbles199348 I know full well it isn't American. I was just having a little fun.

  • @bubbles199348 - Jack Judge's parents were Irish, & his Grandparents were from Tipperary, - he wrote the song for a 5 shilling bet, and it was performed the following night on stage.

    - isn't it funny, how some of the greatest songs of all time were written in minutes, - in haste, - like " hey, good lookin', - " (Hank Williams), or even, " The Star Spangled Banner ", by Francis Scott-Keyes...

  • It's a grand Irish tune enjoyed by all.....we Americans like it very much too......I like the British version just as much. I'm thinking maybe the song was "Americanized" by the huge influx of Irish people who came here to escape the effects of the potato famine of 1845 - 1852. it really doesn't matter...it's a great song and we're proud of our Irish folk.

  • will everybody calm down its a 90somthin year old song we both fought in the war so you dont need to get political

  • THIS MARCH ISN´T AMERICAN! you faggot...

  • It's a British/Irish song used by American army and the best performance I've ever heard was by the Red Army choirs. Music unites indeed.

  • it is a long way to tipperary

  • What is all the complaining about? I'm sure the original composer would be happy if he knew one of his songs were used and adapted for more people to enjoy. Besides, there is a community with Irish ancestry in Syracuse, NY called "Tipperary Hill."

    And if you want to talk about ruined songs, the British Foot Guard would use John Philip Sousa's "Liberty Bell March", an American tune, in their marches until "Monty Python" started using it as their theme song.

  • Are you aware that this isn't an American military march? This is a born and bred British song.

  • hey amereica fuck off our song cocky batards and u take the mick of us and u steal our songs

  • @thousandson556 umadbro?

  • @NPCwars hes upset as fuck

  • @NPCwars sorry what

  • hoe gay is this???

  • Das Boot...

  • You pretty much don't know you nationality

  • This song is British,not american,and was written by Jack Judge in 1914 This is the real lyrics: Up to mighty London came An Irish lad one day, All the streets were paved with gold, So everyone was gay! Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand, and Leicester Square, 'Til Paddy got excited and He shouted to them there: It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square! It's ....... and more.
  • @danielarago67zgz its not british you idiot , its irish

  • @GunmanForTheRa I know Tipperary is an Irish city but who wrote the song was English.I love Ireland and i always have supported the Irish cause,even i've seen In the name of the father 10 times or more,i've had many pints with Irishman,many many drunkenness...so i think you're the only idiot.

  • @danielarago67zgz fair enough

  • @GunmanForTheRa Ok,that's right,cheers fellow!

  • @danielarago67zgz well i think we irish like to claim it as our own as jack's grandparents were irish :D

  • @spacefly123

    I totally agree with you but i want you to know when i said the song was Brittish i didn't want to make political apology.I'm Spanish and i can't feel the same as Irish people,but i understand you.Sorry for my English,although i lived in London is not very good.

  • @danielarago67zgz Yeah, but we still use this song. So it's one of our marches too.

  • @bestshowontheweb Basic logic: does having a US march sung by Germans make that US march a German march?

  • Hi I'm American...lets find the best parts of modern history...and plant a US flag on them -.-

  • @Ali8730 Eh, we ALREADY own the coolest parts. Let's not be greedy.

  • @Ali8730 Exactly. I HAVE 10 TYPEWRITERS, 3 RECORD PLAYERS, 1 VICTROLA, 2 RAILROAD LANTERNS, 1 8MM VIDEO CAMERA, A ROTARY PHONE FROM THE 40s, TONS OF RECORDS, AND HECK, MY HOUSE=MUSEUM. (CAPS=EMPHASES not YELLING.)

  • @CrazyWebGuy lol true!

  • @CrazyWebGuy Well, we were kinda British for a while. More than a century of direct influence tends to rub off. Would you like us to stop speaking English, too? Or does the monopoly stop with music?

  • @CrazyWebGuy And their old national anthem was a poem set to the tune of God Save the Queen.

  • well great controversy for sure. It's a long way, goodbye staton island! they were going home far away from america or U.S. home to the sweetiest girl he knew, for the war was over! they got to go home! great convers though. p.s. I hate u.s. and everything they don't stand for, including it's own people! what about your starving vetrans you have now locked away in homes? no food or medicine, nor help.

  • this isn't american

  • this is not an american song....notice the singer has and english accent.....nuff said

  • okay, for all those who are freaking out about American/ Un American songs, the 1812 overture, one of the crowning songs of the 4th of July, Is Russian, written in 1880 to commemorate their 1812 victory over Napoleon. i say again. RUSSIAN. no US involved. get over it.

  • American marches are all from John Philip Suza...nuff said.

  • this song was British propaganda during its time....Tipperary is where? WWI Britain? World War one was about the queens/kings of Europe from the Isles of Ireland to the shores of Kamchatka....It had nothing to do with democracy. But the all the queens men and all the queens horses bough the USA into the fight against their foe. Innocent USA now involved in the royals of Europeans wars after so many decades of wasting money and pushing drugs into China and making slaves of Indians, Africans.

  • @bweber2k err didnt the yanks just do a lot of "training" in ww1?

  • @bweber2k What about the Red Indians you lot have murdered?

  • this song was British propaganda during its time....Tipperary is where? WWI Britain?

  • @bweber2k Ireland, Actually.

  • I never cease to amaze at what music can do to certain commenters on youtube. I think we all enjoy the music, but jump on each other like a bunch of junkyard dogs over who owns it, wrote it, performs it, as though it is the family jewels. Mark my word, someone will jump my case about my comment. I just like the music.

  • @bgrobin66 I know. Really, who gives a flying f*ck whether the song is British or American. I like it either way.

  • ihhh

  • WTF the bloody American Flag has to do with the Tipperary song?

  • @huenersh1 Because its being sung bye an american, And I think the lyrics are slightly changed

  • @huenersh1 I suppose it has to do with the American doughboys adopting it as one of their own once they were off to fight in Europe in 1917 (it was already popular with our allies, the British). Alternatives would have been the marches of John Philip Sousa or the catchy patriotic songs of George M. Cohan.

    Keep in mind too that a large percentage of the American Expeditionary Force were of Irish descent and probably took naturally to this song.

  • And how we can not love this song? Freedom is always the best way to understand life. So fuck wars and death inflicted by those who make our children go and die for the business which is not ours. I am stupid Polack from USA but I love.

  • It is a British marching song.

  • Is this Robert White (or Frank Patterson)?

  • Russian song are much better . i cant listen it :/

  • Ur gay

    

  • a good portion of Americans are Irish.

  • Trololololol

    We stole your song, and you people keep bitching about its some Imma rub it in your faces. We stole your song fucking brits! Lol u mad bro?

    I actually was upset when I heard this aswell btw, I dont approve of having any great song like this lyrics being messed with, but doubt thats reason to bring nationality into this. Im American, I didn't co-rewrite this song, and nether did anyone else here, so stop assuming all Americans just try to steal arts from other countrys.

  • Good song but USA sucks

  • @SuperBomber19 The USA rocks....you suck!

  • @pdbe20044 You're not helping.

  • @SuperBomber19 Grow up.

  • @SuperBomber19 It's STARTING to suck you mean? In WWI and WWII and the cold war, it didn't suck. Then Justin Beiber came into the world, and Paris Hilton, and Brittany Spears (who's voice FEELS/SOUNDS like spears) and all these other idiots. GO HISTORY!

  • @JeffHendrie lol

  • @SuperBomber19 Thanks, I know. XD

  • 1/4 British, 1/4 German, 1/4 Scottish (laddy [lol]), and 1/4 French, hmm, 3/4 VS. 1/4, Allies VS. Nazis/Axis, who's side do I choose? IT'S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY! :D (If I was mostly on the Nazi/Axis side ancestorally, who would I choose? Hmm... same.

  • "Drive Your Own Ambulance In France-U.S. Army-1917" (The statement on the sign my great grandpa saw before he signed up, the word "Drive" got his attention, he loved cars. Ross R. Roy, Founder of Ross Roy Inc., 1898-1989.)

  • I'am a old Seaman from the GDR

    It's a long  Time ago

    ....but i Love the seamans all over the world...

    we are the union

    (my english is very bad)..sorry

    I'am from Sachsen(Leipzig)

    You understand?

  • @SuperBurkhardt Prosit Mein Herr!

  • BLAHAH FOOLISH AMERICIANS LOL

  • @crossfadefan101 Ah, what about the foolish AMERICAN that found out how to DESTROY your confidence in "unknoewn name/number" messages. XD My great Grandpa (mostly) invented telephone soliceting, same with those little pamphlets you get when you're about to buy a car, to tell you all about the car, ups, and downs. Drove an Ambulance in WWI, Said he was 18, just to get in the Army, when he was really 17, and was NOT foolish at ALL.

  • like the bit when he says mayo im bcuz i live there

  • I prefer the original, being British myself I prefer it as it is. However isn't this song just a tribute to the original? The only real changes are Picadilly and Leicester Square and being in New York instead of London, which I suppose is so Americans can relate to it. It's still the same tune. And the British have probably changed American songs. I don't know any but we probably have.

  • And, by the way, Tipperary is a county in S Ireland, Jesus Christ, where are you guys getting these arguments

  • It's funny that all other videos of this song have no negative comments, but this one has the American Flag and people have their panties in a bunch, 83 dislikes, all other vids had next to none, cry me a fucking river and enjoy the god damn song

  • I am not an AMERICAN.............Yet, i am good ,decent and noble indeed.Decency and goodness are NOT an American exclusive uniqueness.No fu%$#$%$ng way......!

  • эта песня НИКОГДА не была американским военным маршем.

    это стариннаядовольно таки английская песня .

  • 50% of the people on here: Pricks

    The same 50%: Arab.

    Coincidence? I think not.

  • @JohnYouth1 Haha your attempt failed.

  • Oh, ffs, to the guy who said Americans have accused the English of stealing "My country, 'tis of thee", SHUT THE FUCK UP! And another thing, nobody trying to get thumbs ups is getting them, so all the guys saying R.I.P or Thank God etc.. Nobody cares BIOTCH!

    P.S. "Goodnight Mister Tom" ftw! ;)

  • I liked the part  where he said It's a Long way to Tipperary

  • To be honest, this is a british song and this version with the change of lyrics is horrific. Next you'll be raising famous landmarks from all around Europe in your country, such as the eiffel tower...

  • A song about emigrants ... if that's not american i dont know what is

  • @NyBob85 This version is shit anyway so I don't know why people are getting angsty.

  • @NyBob85 No-one was suggesting anything of the sort you paranoid "yankee".

  • ahhhhh I am a Canadian and yet I know these songs from my childhood....

    Thanks Dad !

    and theres so many many more songs......especially "Wish Me Luck As You Wave me Good bye" and "If I knew You were coming I'd Have Baked a Cake"

    Thank goodness for YouTube!

    Piney :)

  • C'mon, Monty Python stole "The Liberty Bell", it's only karma!

  • Appearently, from stories, my great-grandfather was in the British infantry, who made this song famous, by singing it on a charge. I dont care if the US uses it, just making a note.

  • this song was the marching tune of the british irish regiment connaught rangers 2nd battalion who fought in the middle east against the turks

  • I love this song. Don't give a fuck if it's British, American, whatever.

  • @adamswampy ...The REALLY "ill-educated, conceited, arrogant twats" are those posting their own home-spun internet psychoanalysis regarding people they've never met and know nothing about. An American DID say something you might find enlightening....." 'Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remover all doubt" Attributed by most to Abraham Lincoln. Dial up The Black Dyke Mills Band and calm down. Incidentally I like that group as well......one of the best.

  • Isn't this actually an Irish song?

  • @kldudmp Most of Ireland went to America

  • @kldudmp No it's English.

  • @adamswampy Well not all Americans are ill-educated. You are just sad that you have been beaten bye the so called "Americans ill-educated, conceited, arrogant twats". By the way just by making that statement you all those things.

  • 78 people don't have a sweat girl in tipperary. 

  • Who cares who came up with the songs, music is a universal language.

  • @adamswampy Remins me of scary saying " the King James Bible, if it was good enough for Jesus, it is good enough for me.

  • ich liebe diese Lied :-)

  • 77 sad basterds!!

  • this is a good song  sit back and relax enjoy

  • isnt tipperary a really small town?

  • @OsCassador No Tipperary is a county its not that small :)

  • @OsCassador Yes it is a small rural town of about 6000 people but it is situated in the County of Tipperary which is one of 32 Counties on the Island of Ireland located in the south, so you are both right!.

  • Got news for you. If we like it, it becomes American. We take from all cultures. That doesn't mean the original country lost it. We are always willing to share.

  • @LorynToo Correct! That's what I mean by "intercultural exchange" ...

  • Im irish. And i think its great that you americans use this song in marches. Sean o cuileann. As choainte mayo

  • FUCK YEAH, AMERICA ALSO WROTE DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES

    DEAL WITH IT

  • @The1CamBo  wrong

  • RIP to all Irish Republican Army soldiers from Tippperary who died fighting Britain for Ireland's independence.

    End the occupation, Beidh ar lá linn.

  • @TomBarry192I haha you mean the terroist scum who killed innocent people and police officers. you dumb fucking inbred cunt, i cant stand people like you

  • @H3aVyM3tALH3aD Im talking about Ireland's national army of the Republic who took on the fascist British empire from 1918- present.

  • @TomBarry192I And keep on losing moron.
