Aretha Franklin Singing To The Tune Of *The British National Anthem*

[link to uk.youtube.com]

I don't know. I don't get it, either.

", also known as "America", is an American patriotic song, whose lyrics were written by Samuel Francis Smith. The melody was derived from the British national anthem, God Save the King or Queen, by way of a German adaptation. The song served as a de facto national anthem of the United States for much of the 19th century.

Welcome to USA PLC a subsidiary of The City of London.

You didn't know Obama was born in Kenya when it was still a british colony which makes Obama a british citizen? Get used to it..Obama is a Rothchild house boy. Obama serves at the pleasure of the Queen.

Yep ! I agree 110%

I did know I also know Rome owns the USA , the UK etc etc, the western world isn't free, thats a lie and a lie that is told to thousands of people every day through speeches such as the one we heard at the inauguration.

Thousands went to see a jesuit charlatan speak today and they cried, lifted their hands up and worshipped him , they are heavily deceived

I was just shocked I guess at hearing the tune and what the message behind the tune was conveying , it's so blatant and "in your face"

But I shouldn't be surprised really should I?

have some of you really never heard this song before?

come on.

Did you notice that the 'John Williams composed' piece (The string quartet? with Yo Yo Ma) was a direct rip-off of 'The Lord of the Dance'

OK, all music is derivative, but that's what it was.

'The Lord of the Dance'

Would you rather lil' John or some other gangsta rapper be the headlining musician?

That Francis Scott Key guy was a slave owner, by the way. And our current national anthem is boring and ugly, but what the hell, it's just a symbolic deal. Just like everything else was today.

Just an FYI the Queen has no power only the power that Rome allows her to use, she's just a pawn at the end of the day and comes from a long line of Jesuits who overtook the throne of England. She has no right to sit on the throne of England, but hey the times that are coming and have been coming are to be expected I guess.

I just wish the inauguration hadn't of gone off without a hitch, Let's see what Mr Muslim Obama will bring in the coming weeks. I can say with total confidence right now it won't be anything good.

I posted about this as she was singing.

I found it really very disturbing.

I agree.The music didn't sound right at all.

and the lord of the dance derived it from "simple gifts," made famous by aaron copland.

Well just to mix it up a bit.... How do you know it was`nt taken from Liechtenstein.... HHHHMMMM??

''Some Christians have expressed the view that this stanza should be omitted because it suggests that the Jews killed Jesus. For example, a prominent Quaker publication[1] stated that although "Lord of the Dance" is "one of our most popular and widely sung" modern hymns, this particular stanza should not be sung, because "[e]ach time we sing this verse together we lend emotional power and the appearance of support for what is in fact a lie". Similarly, one religion/philosophy professor at a Methodist-affiliated college expressed concern that "one of [her] favorites" in The United Methodist Hymnal, "'Lord of the Dance,' is full of antisemitic notions,"[2] and therefore she recommended various other hymns be used instead.''

LOL rome does not own the united states!

but yeah, that was weird as hell...

They jazzed it up a bit but it was recognizably the British National anthem.

'Tis a gift to be simple
'Tis a gift to be free

haha yeah, I was almost expecting Michael Flatley to come out on stage dancing

oh FFS a LOT of USA's folk tunes are reworks of stuff from the UK. The greater proportion of our original settlers are from there.

Naw...since the U.S. is toast anyways they should have invited Yoko Ono to wail, bray, moan, shriek and bellow out something so incredibly bad that it was very clear the U.S. was in its death throws.
