I can’t believe I am the only person that noticed this. When Biden finished the band started to play GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. Last time I checked THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is not part of the British Monarchy, why would they play a salute to the mo arch of Britain?
But in all seriousness u/Zromrlhzrd, you got a point. Our official national anthem is The Star Spangled Banner. We didn't really have an anthem until Congress made The Star Spangled Banner our anthem in 1931.
What if we first copied Britain and it pissed them off, but when the crown took over USA Inc, they decided to use it in instances as a nod to laugh in our faces?
There's no lyrics to the orchestrated version of the song...so it literally COULD be either or... 😬
It goes a little something like this:
My country, Tis of Thee
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my Fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountain side
Let Freedom ring!
I'm really surprised that this community is having trouble seeing the two sides of this tune, and how it can be played right under our American ignorance.
This is the first time I've ever listened to God save the queen, in my defense. Stooped response, but, why would I? I'm American? I did however go listen, and within 2 seconds heard it was same tune. Trying and learning Fren.
"America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)" is an American patriotic song, the lyrics of which were written by Samuel Francis Smith.[2] The song served as one of the de facto national anthems of the United States (along with songs like "Hail, Columbia") before the adoption of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the official U.S. national anthem in 1931.[3] The melody used is the same as that of one of the de facto national anthems of the United Kingdom, "God Save the Queen
Haha. I learned this song in 5th grade about 55 years ago. The teacher said the songwriter chose the melody to troll the Brits. I think Americans were still irked about the War of 1812 or something like that.
You're supposed to assume that in the US, unless you're watching a British movie or TV show, that what you're hearing is "My Country 'Tis of Thee." That should always be in your mind when you hear the tune.
Again, we see the two sides to all the Cabal symbolism on this site, but somehow, this American tradition (which originated in Britain) is causing people to short circuit.
Why not just play "Hail to the Chief"? Why do something that plays into speculation?
It's conspicuous, even if there was an "Americanised" version of the song. Honor Guard appears to find every opportunity to point out the illegitimate condition of the feckless puppet.
Because DC IS part of the british monarchy (also the Vatican) in an indirect but also direct way. The reason they played it, no clue. But they are in Philly.. so really not sure.

For what it is worth, there is an Americanized version of that tune.
And here I thought it was a butchered version of The Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen Anthem.

Edit: Looks like The Guardian had to clarify it for the UK readers too.
And not the first time someone was blindly mocked when pointing it out.
I think you are really on to something here...
I doubt most Americans are aware that "My Country 'Tis of Thee" is the tune of "God Save the Queen", the British anthem.
Friendly reminder for the community that the creator of Ren & Stimpy is pedo scum
Have you seen the very original Ren & Stimpy stuff? Ren had a saw strapped to his waist and Stimpy held a log with his butt. It was pretty crass.
That's just bizarre ... would love to hear some sort of sensible explanation for playing this song - and in front of Independence Hall!

You're right! I had "God Save the Queen" in my brain
well, it is a fascist regime. no future, no future, for you and me.
wrong God save the queen?

Without lyrics, how do you tell the difference?
Haha. I learned this song in 5th grade about 55 years ago. The teacher said the songwriter chose the melody to troll the Brits. I think Americans were still irked about the War of 1812 or something like that.
What if it started out that way, but once the Crown infiltrated with USA Inc, they used it to troll us?
And still are! 😧
I actually closed my eyes, so I could hear the music. And not see the words. Since was my first time hearing it. You can feel music.

Thank you for accusing me of American wrongthink.
