Be nice if they played "The World Turned Upside Down"

I presume "We" would not be amused.

What if they played the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen."

As I said in another post, we’ve fought together in five wars (including the present one) kicking other peoples’ butts.

She has far too much class to mention what happened to the White House when her great-great-great-great-grandfather’s troops took it away from James Madison.

So I submit that everyone's on their best behavior.

"The World Turned Upside Down" is a beautiful, lively march tune.

It was written during the English Civil War, lamenting that the Puritans had banned all the old feasts, doles, celebrations, and harvest-homes.

The World Turned Upside Down. Maddy Prior (of Steeleye Span). Of course, another set of words to the same tune goes, "When the King Shall Have His Own Again." So it cuts both ways!
