Just popped in for the lyrics to "Barley Mow", and happened upon this thread. Despite the name, my birthplace is in England (parents wanted to p.o. the previous generation - not to mention "Dr. No" came out the year before).I just wanted to remind those interested that the US national anthem originates in a war they LOST - to Canada!
Of course, we Canadians like to harp on that since the Americans beat us at hockey nowadays.
