**Spoilers below and in tags!!**

This is the third part of "What Song is This?" This was definitely the most difficult song yet to memorize backwards. This song has three verses which incorporate basically the same melody with different lyrics. Though one might believe it would be more difficult to memorize something with unique melodies in three verses, it only increases the difficulty exponentially. The reason for this is because when you are singing backwards, you are singing none other than sounds -- the words sung backwards make no sense to you. So I oftentimes found myself singing part of the lyrics from another verse in the verse in which I was currently singing.

Thanks for watching and enjoy. I hope some music enthusiasts out there will appreciate this.

For those of you unfamiliar with God Save the Queen, the lyrics are as follows:

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.

  • This one wasn't as good as the first two...tougher to understand the rewind

  • Ok, come ON!!! It's obviously fake.

    He obviously just moves dominoes with his mind, sucks in bubbles, breathes fire, seperates paint, and has little magnets in his hands so the glitter and ball comes back.

  • It looks so cool when he un-pours the paint and sucks in all the bubbles!

  • @KatTheWriter excuse me KatTheWriter, but I am from Canada and was just saying I had a harder time understanding it. I have heard and sung God Save the Queen countless times, and have never sung (or even known more than the opening line of) the American national anthem. Thank YOU.

  • @geewizer33 I actually do know it quite well, having heard, and sung it on various occasions. Saying I didn't understand it doesn't mean I don't know it, it means exactly what I said, the rewind was harder to understand (for me)

  • @captainchevre1 you clearly dont know the british national anthem then

  • Excuse me Captainchevre1, but I am from England and I found the American national anthem really hard to understand but this one easy. Thank you.
