Billy's refering to these old lyrics: Lord, grant that Marshal Wade, May by thy mighty aid, Victory bring. May he sedition hush, and like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush, God save the King. And the Jacobite version: God bless the prince, I pray, God bless the prince, I pray, Charlie I mean; That Scotland we may see Freed from vile Presbyt'ry, Both George and his Feckie, Ever so, Amen.
Right I'm getting fed up of this english Scottish nonsense on these comments. Just look up the history of of the monarchy and see for yourself. It dates back to around the Jacobite times. Just enjoy the bloody comedy
his first stand up when Whoopi goldberg introduced him was the bomb! my mom just had brain surgery when we put him on thinking she could use a laugh,she laughed so hard she had a freaking seizure! and had to go back to the hospital for 6 more days.
absolutely brilliant but i have one point i would like to add, the part were he is like 'we come from jabrovia, and we dont give a shit, we have a national debt of 50 squillion pounds, we dont give a monkeys' it could maybe be better if he used quid opposed to pounds as it rhymes
see, this is why scotland has its own anthem and thats why we want to be independent, because our own national anthem describes scots being crushed, does this make sense?
The bit where the Queen's sitting on her horse singing the theme from the Archers, then the public lean forward and join in with the "rumpty tumpty" bit, had me crying!!!
You're right, it is very complicated. Made all the more so by the fact that the Stuart loyalists were lead by a "gay, Italian dwarf" (to quote Mr Connely). Although, I prefer his other description of Bonnie Prince Charlie as being the only man in history to be named after three sheep dogs!
@tarnmonath no, after that at about 2:00/2:02. And half our "celebrities" have done fuck all to achieve their status so I don't care if she's the Queen. She's fit :)
now....this is why celtic fans absolutely hate rangers fans for singing god save the queen...celtic are scottish and irish rangers are english and english
@ronnieTM they have no conection with england but they want to be proud under our queen (england) if you know what i mean were proud to be british and then proud to be scottish like go scottish then switch to being british (english) and i know scotland is in britain but we would have been better when scotland where the 2nd biggest city in the british empire..but england shut all the scottish buisness's,scotland would have made a name for itself...the only name its got is for being good soldiers
@ranbrent Not all Rangers supporters are loyalist though (and Brittish doesn't necessarily mean English), and the ones who are tend to be biggoted and anit-Catholic. Also, Scotland has a lot of things to be proud of, not just being good soldiers.
@fiona291188; You have to remember that it was written in 1745 when the Scots were marching towards London. At that time the fate of the British nation and the Monarchy hung in the balance. Looking back, it's a shame your countrymen didn't win!
@sawbodude: It was a tad more complicated than that. People are often surprised to learn that there were English and Scottish troops fighting on both sides. And there were also French troops fighting on behalf of the rebels. This was not an England v. Scotland fight. It had more to do with supporters of the former Stuart monarchy fighting to overthrow the incumbent Hanovarian government..
@mpearson58 well go have a word with Edward I then! :P He set the tone off! After Alexander III died it was all his fault for trying to subjugate Scotland!
@fiona291188 not the official lyrics - they've been added during Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebellion as propaganda. There's a 1875 Oxford essay describing why they are only temporary.
