I hum too, but I know the "Tripoli" I'm humming is not the Lebanese one, but rather the North African one. A more geographically accurate modern version would refer to the "shores of Libya." Of course the song still refers to the same general opponents.
I know...that always kind of stops me.
I am singing in my mind, "the shores of Tripoli"..but, it is the other Tripoli, right?
Thanks, understand..
