"God Save The Queen" vs. "Our Country 'tis of Thee (America)"

Question

This being a World Cup year, and just because the Spurs... I mean, England are playing Croatia this afternoon's semi-final...

I'm surprised how few Brits realize what us Yanks have done to their national anthem (ex-pats excepting, that is, maratsade). It's either that or they simply refuse to take the bait.

And to mock King George.

maratsade · Answer

I think many mocked him on both sides of the pond.&nbsp; :)

It's "MY country tis of thee," not "OUR country..." In any event, I suppose the Brits will have to change it to "God Save the King" when they get stuck with (shudder) King Charles.

No idea where I got 'our' from. &lt;insert egg on face emoji here&gt;

Are you referring to the melody being the same?
