Your wrong, it is about Tipperary, Ireland, but it is a British music hall and marching song written by Jack Judge in 1912, and Judge was an Englishman born and bred in Worcestershire. His Grandparents were from Tipperary, and he made it for them.

The Connaught rangers made it world famous by singing it whilst they marched to war in 1914.

After that everyone sung it, but its an English song.

No disrespect to our proud northern neighbor. We love you up there. :)

But us Americans was the first to win independance in a war from Britain. The loss of the 13 colonies brought about the collapse of the "British Empire" in the long run. It showed they were vulnerable

America does not treat you low, you are our brothers bore from Britains womb who found their own identity, just as we have.

Be proud of your roots, rather than scorning them, sir.

@JunglistJeff *bops* I don't think that picture's appropriate either, but I'd still have some respect for you if you'd just ended it at the first sentence.

@112Boysie Disrespectful of whom?

[Alex911TheCanadian]

@JunglistJeff I found that rather offensive myself. As a self respecting straight Canadian (member of the Commonwealth), I think that that picture was certainly not necessary. They should have put a picture corresponding to the meaning of it during the time. "Gay" was used and is defined as "happiness."

Please Note: Gay is a synonym for homosexual as well as HAPPY. Obviously the person who made this video doesn't know it, but READ THIS BEFORE POSTING comments about the men kissing. Thanks.

You are very blinkered. A period song but the pictures have got jumbled. Gay in 1914 - 18 had nothing to do with homosexuality as you suggest. Read a bit more before posting a such personal statement as this.

2 Guys kissing, really?

Disrespectful.

Nice song.
