In my school days in the 70s and 80s we would all stand every morning and sing this song right after saying the pledge of allegiance. I remember the feeling you got from it and how damn good it felt. School really taught kids love of country back then I hope some still do. "Ask not what your country can do for you..But what you can do for your country"...John. F. Kennedy.
@SlyFox70100 I don't think you understand the origins of this song. The Star Spangled Banned war taken from a British song as well. It's kind of an "in your face" kinda thing.
This song makes me sad, because the USA that this song refers to no longer exists for the majority of it's citizens, only the very wealthy. The USA has turned into a nation where tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires are more important than helping our middle and lower classes prosper and get ahead in life, and those people have gone from being dignified workers to disposable human garbage, all in the name of saving a few bucks for the rich. I'm truly ashamed of being an American.
@oijdeagu lol I'm late to the party I guess. I just had never heard it. I guess I wasn't paying attention during the Olympics whenever a Brit won gold!
I was so glad to find a version of this song with CHILDREN singing so that my KIDS could watch the video and be engaged during our social studies class. I wish they couldn't read, though...the comments are a little gross.
Huh... God Save the Queen? Well, Star Spangled Banner itself is merely a British drinking song with new poorly written lyrics, so I suppose it makes sense. Is there an American Rule Britannia?
I will fight for a nation where everybody is equal. Not for some higher majesty I am forced to love. I love the country and the people with in it. God shall not save the queen. LET FREEEEEEDOMMM RING!!!!!!!!
Okay, for those of you stating that "My Country 'tis of thee" is a rip off of "God Save the Queen", you're right. However, The U.S. isn't the only country to have the same tune to "God Save the Queen." The Liechtenstein National Anthem, Oben am jungen Rhein, has the same exact tune as well. So it's kind of pointless to call this a rip off when lots of other songs have the same tune.
They just copied God Save the Queen???? I heard this in the simpsons and wondered why they were playing God Save the Queen, they I searched the name of the song they said it was, and it was supposed to refer to America? huh, they just copied the british anthem..
Im an Atheist, but I do not believe this song or any other should be removed from our Schools. It has a very deep patriotic meaning and I push my children to sing this along with the national anthem in school!
@drnachos If I was the queen I would be more mad about us ripping off a giant part of their colonial assets, but yeah we stole the melody which the british stole from the Scots or from some old bar-room song, boo hoo
In a complex global economy, to avoid world economic turmoil, the United States needs to have a global presence. People don't understand that if the United States were to leave the Middle East in a short period of time, oil prices would go thru the roof.
america was truly a great country, but i don't like what it's become today....but i still wave my flag high and stand by my country, god bless america
@BiblicalReference FUCK AMERICA? Ok, get off our video, website, internet, stop listening to our music, watching our tv shows, and standing behind our dress when the shit hits the fan. Funny how you fuckers rode the gravy train for the past century because of us, now you guys talk shit on us nonstop because we had turmoil. What a bunch of fair weather fake friends, huh.
@PFCRatoulli Well, at least someone can see America for what it truly is. I'm truly ashamed of being an American now and completely agree with everything you say. How much money you have is the most important thing here, even if it means destroying what little the middle and lower classes hold dear. Fuck America, fuck America indeed! I hope my country (America) fails soon. The world will be better off!
"Our fathers' God to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might, Great God our King."
US started as a British coloney-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, etc. where English American. We didnt 'steal' the British anthem, they just changed the words to reflect the new nation which came from British rule. Reguardless, the USA has its own national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Really dislike like this use of the tune. God forbid that the US national athem was ever used by another country to say how great it was. There would be so many complaints and so much histronics coming from your side of the atlantic it would be unbelievable. Please leave our national anthem alone we wouldnt do it to yours, we're not that arrogant
@tombrownsybrownmsn I'd get annoyed at that any other time of the year, but it's the 10th anniversary of 9/11, so i say let them have it for the time being, we have one of the closest alliances in the world today anyway. Britain and America brothers in arms
Now i like the Brits with out them we would have amazing rock and roll bands like Led Zep, Pink Floyd and ERIC CLAPTON!! but without american blues men there would be no rock and roll. If the U.S was never attacked by the Japenese WWll wouldve dragged on for god knows how long. U.K and U.S.A are brothers in arms.
Dear god, so much strife on this page. The melody is beautiful. America is a wonderful continent(all of it) and the US is an okay country to live in... I really miss singing this song in elementary choir. :)
@longfootbuddy What an ignorant comment. Do we have the right to vote for our representatives, the ones that make the laws? Yes we do. Therefore it is our laws and our country. The taxes we pay are as a result of the laws passed by our representatives that we voted for. If we don't like it, then we can change it.
@jbranstetter04 wow the biggest group gets to choose our leaders? the majority gets to decide how much tax ill hand over, and what rules ill live by? we? we? what about me? what if i dont want any of this shit? move to rwanda? you are the ignorant fool that knows nothing about freedom
@longfootbuddy You're a very ridiculous person for sure. What are you, a 12 year old Anarchist? Yes, the majority wins in an election. And yes, the majority in a governing body makes the laws. And yes, you have to follow those laws. There is no other way. Would you have everyone making their own laws, just for themselves? It's not really worth commenting here, but it's worth a try. Don't get me wrong; I'm for a very small government, one that stays out of our lives as much as possible.
Happy Independence Day my beloved fellow Americans! God save the Queen to our English comrades. Togather we will always fight fascism and terrorism as brothers.
The Irish nuns in grade school used to have us sing this at mass, so, just to get them irked, a few buddies and I (4th grade, mind you) would sing the lyrics to "God Save the Queen".
Hello ! Maybe some, here, will be interested to know this music was written by JB. Lully, after a severe illness of King Louis 14 of France, a little before 1700. It was sung by Saint-Cyr School (for young poor girls, with parents ruined by wars) Pupils, and the legend says King Louis 14 cried, hearing it. Of course, everybody knows what's happened then about that music. More details : just ask !
Oh man, and there's kids singing it too; it reminds me of elementary school.
I remember singing the first verse of this song every day in Kindergarten, after saying the Pledge of Allegiance and before school officially started. Good memories!
Wonderful recording. Be sure to check out the newly recorded patriotic song "Freedom 911" by new artist Joshua, feat. J-Kwon & Gino Green. It will bring a tear to your eye. It was edited by a retired Armed Forces Veteran. You can check it out, right here, on The Benita Show. An awesome tribute to our Armed Forces and our Great Nation.
I'd like to make it crystal clear, any Redcoat badmouthing the USA needs to take a long look at their own imperialist laden history. The crown has brought much harm and oppression to the world via her precious "colonies". The Irish kicked your royal asses first for over 800 years, then American minute men crushed you. If it weren't for Americans, every Brit and the Queen herself would certainly be speaking German right now.
And England didn't cast out the people who founded this country. They left because they wanted religious freedom. And to be away from the King. Obviously your a dumbass but did you realize not everyone in this country is British?
I hope you realize 'America' is a short term for 'United States of America'. But yes, to be general, anyone living from Canada to Argentina are technically Americans.
@oXBerserkerXo it it wasn't for us "stupid obese retarded yankess" you wouldn't have this page to comment on, or the internet at all for that matter, nor would you have television, phones, cars, or really anything along the lines of technalogical advancement. we're proud to be a nation technically we are americans, as are canadians, and the people of south america. they choose not to claim it as we do.
@LegoRandomness243 We call ourselves americans because we don't have a cool name, or would you call yourself a United Statetian? No, so american it is. And you forgot to mention central america...
The queen does, or was at least meant to, represent britain. The monarch is not supposed to be thought of as an individual but more like an institution. The verses of god save the king/queen date back to the 1700s (if that's wrong I'm sorry) and they're original meaning and the meaning of the words differs now as we are looking at it from a modern perspective
It's nice that American's are proud of their country... but the level some quite a number take it to is just ridiculous and probably the reason why the world generally dislikes America. There's a lot of good stuff there, but a lot of corruption as well. 2 innocent tourists from my home country have just recently been murdered in the states for... well... no reason.
God bless the 50% of America that truly deserve it.
@afcbczech The "States" don't kill people,people kill people. Innocent people are killed for ...well...no reason,every day,in every country.Evil is universal. We, the American people have every right to be proud, we are a symbol of hope to much of the world's worst off. I would suggest that the "world's dislike of the U.S. is rooted in some of that universal evil....
Or maybe it is rooted in the arrogance of your vocal minority who is pissing on every other country in the world.
They don't show any respect to others. And over all your holier-than-thou you forget a lesson you never learned in your short joke of a countries history - everything that rises will fall eventually. Europe and the middle east are full of ruins of nations like yours. Reflect on what makes your country admireable - and than look on what you export in the world right now.
@HeReigns33 I agree that it isn't because of the "States" that these people died. But the fact that you're suggesting your country as being a "symbol of hope" suggests that you consider your country to be the best. It's okay to like your country, but honestly, a number of Americans I have spoken to consider no aspect of any other nation to be able to compete with America including stupid things like food, cleaning products etc... this attitude is just plain arrogance.
@afcbczech I don't think our country is the "best"(well I do,but not the way you suggest). I believe us to be a symbol of hope to people who are oppressed in their home countries. I wish we would just close (and lock) our borders,become isolationist,and just keep to ourselves.
@afcbczech crime happens everywhere, dont act like its just in the US. And honestly, there are few uncorrupted countries out there, and that doesnt include Britain......
Yeah, we stole the tune. But it is not our official national anthem. If it was our national anthem then the Brits might have something to complain about. However, our lyrics are much better than the UK lyrics. Our lyrics talk about liberty, freedom, God and country. (God is our king.) Whereas the UK lyrics honor one mortal, flawed person.
@mountainwalrus100 Wrong, the original version God Save the Queen is not solely about the Queen. They on many occasions say 'God save us all' referring to Britons, the song itself uses the term 'Queen' to personify the country, it's talking about everything, the military all the way down to our way of life.
@mj2w1 Bull shit. The "Queen" doesn't personify the country, the military, and the way of life of the UK. The Queen personifies the Queen. You are such an idiot. And the UK good lyrics are in the second and third verses that nobody knows or sings. The first verse is the thing that goes through everybody's head on the Olympic gold medal podium. Your song is worshiping a mortal Queen. Our lyrics are so much better. God is our King. Queen Elizabeth is your King. Who wins there?
It is VERY common for a tune to have many songs attached to it. This is the tune not only of "God Save the Queen" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee," but also "Anthems to God Above" and other hymns. Another example: Three US States set their state songs to the same tune as that Christmas favorite, "O Tannenbaum."
"America can sing/make up any song and steal your jingle if we want. As much as the Brits hate us, America is the outcome of the Brits turning on their own. Basically we are Brits that evolved, and we updated your precious anthem too. You're welcome."
@Renjikicksass LOL actually you're ancestors are anglo saxons--who came to england and massacred the britons, welsh, scots, and went on to enslave the irish (and blacks). Oh and bigger lol, it was the british who started the colonies and britain who ran them until 1776.
@AmericanUnrest LOL YOUR THE BRITS THAT NOBODY WANTED AND SENT AWAY TO AN ISLAND THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW WAS THERE OR NOT YOU DUMMY!!!! AHAHAHAHAHA you guys are evolved from pure outcasts of other countries congrads
@AmericanUnrest yea you totaly evolved, and therefore US today has like 80% of population who belives in overnatural beeings while Europe evolvated to a normal atheist society.
@AmericanUnrest What a horribly cocky thing to do. I come here to learn about your country and all you can do is offend ours? Seriously? I thought all of this childishness was miles behind us but evidently not.
I think it is so symbolic that we Americans have put this song about our freedom and liberty...to the tune of a song that is about pledging allegiance to the Royalty of the very Nation that we broke away from. Very well said, and a beautiful song and lyrics, from both sides of the pond.
In my school days in the 70s and 80s we would all stand every morning and sing this song right after saying the pledge of allegiance. I remember the feeling you got from it and how damn good it felt. School really taught kids love of country back then I hope some still do. "Ask not what your country can do for you..But what you can do for your country"...John. F. Kennedy.

It was sung by Saint-Cyr School (for young poor girls, with parents ruined by wars) Pupils, and the legend says King Louis 14 cried, hearing it. Of course, everybody knows what's happened then about that music. More details : just ask !

Oh man, and there's kids singing it too; it reminds me of elementary school.
I remember singing the first verse of this song every day in Kindergarten, after saying the Pledge of Allegiance and before school officially started. Good memories!

Wonderful recording. Be sure to check out the newly recorded patriotic song "Freedom 911" by new artist Joshua, feat. J-Kwon & Gino Green. It will bring a tear to your eye. It was edited by a retired Armed Forces Veteran. You can check it out, right here, on The Benita Show. An awesome tribute to our Armed Forces and our Great Nation.

I'd like to make it crystal clear, any Redcoat badmouthing the USA needs to take a long look at their own imperialist laden history. The crown has brought much harm and oppression to the world via her precious "colonies". The Irish kicked your royal asses first for over 800 years, then American minute men crushed you. If it weren't for Americans, every Brit and the Queen herself would certainly be speaking German right now.
God Bless America!!!

The queen does, or was at least meant to, represent britain. The monarch is not supposed to be thought of as an individual but more like an institution. The verses of god save the king/queen date back to the 1700s (if that's wrong I'm sorry) and they're original meaning and the meaning of the words differs now as we are looking at it from a modern perspective

It's nice that American's are proud of their country... but the level some quite a number take it to is just ridiculous and probably the reason why the world generally dislikes America. There's a lot of good stuff there, but a lot of corruption as well. 2 innocent tourists from my home country have just recently been murdered in the states for... well... no reason.
God bless the 50% of America that truly deserve it.

@afcbczech The "States" don't kill people,people kill people. Innocent people are killed for ...well...no reason,every day,in every country.Evil is universal. We, the American people have every right to be proud, we are a symbol of hope to much of the world's worst off. I would suggest that the "world's dislike of the U.S. is rooted in some of that universal evil....

Or maybe it is rooted in the arrogance of your vocal minority who is pissing on every other country in the world.
They don't show any respect to others. And over all your holier-than-thou you forget a lesson you never learned in your short joke of a countries history - everything that rises will fall eventually. Europe and the middle east are full of ruins of nations like yours. Reflect on what makes your country admireable - and than look on what you export in the world right now.
Asperger0815 9 months ago
@HeReigns33 I agree that it isn't because of the "States" that these people died. But the fact that you're suggesting your country as being a "symbol of hope" suggests that you consider your country to be the best. It's okay to like your country, but honestly, a number of Americans I have spoken to consider no aspect of any other nation to be able to compete with America including stupid things like food, cleaning products etc... this attitude is just plain arrogance.
afcbczech 9 months ago
@afcbczech I don't think our country is the "best"(well I do,but not the way you suggest). I believe us to be a symbol of hope to people who are oppressed in their home countries. I wish we would just close (and lock) our borders,become isolationist,and just keep to ourselves.

Yeah, we stole the tune. But it is not our official national anthem. If it was our national anthem then the Brits might have something to complain about. However, our lyrics are much better than the UK lyrics. Our lyrics talk about liberty, freedom, God and country. (God is our king.) Whereas the UK lyrics honor one mortal, flawed person.
mountainwalrus100 11 months ago
@mountainwalrus100 Wrong, the original version God Save the Queen is not solely about the Queen. They on many occasions say 'God save us all' referring to Britons, the song itself uses the term 'Queen' to personify the country, it's talking about everything, the military all the way down to our way of life.

@mj2w1 Bull shit. The "Queen" doesn't personify the country, the military, and the way of life of the UK. The Queen personifies the Queen. You are such an idiot. And the UK good lyrics are in the second and third verses that nobody knows or sings. The first verse is the thing that goes through everybody's head on the Olympic gold medal podium. Your song is worshiping a mortal Queen. Our lyrics are so much better. God is our King. Queen Elizabeth is your King. Who wins there?

@mountainwalrus100 If the British national anthem honors one mortal, flawed person, what is the purpose of this verse in the anthem:
"Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world ov'er"

It is VERY common for a tune to have many songs attached to it. This is the tune not only of "God Save the Queen" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee," but also "Anthems to God Above" and other hymns. Another example: Three US States set their state songs to the same tune as that Christmas favorite, "O Tannenbaum."
