An obvious top choice. The songs rocks out, and the deserves another listen. So we're marching to Bastille Day, the guillotine will claim her bloody prize..." https://frenchculture.org/music/12057-music-bastille-day "If you are curious about Bastille Day's traditional songs This year, to celebrate Bastille Day, we offer you a special playlist with tunes inspired by July 14. Amongst French Revolution songs, you will find Chant du Départ, a revolutionary and war song written by Étienne Nicolas Méhul (music) and Marie-Joseph Chénier (words) in 1794. This song was the official anthem of the First Empire. Nowadays, it is also the regional anthem of French Guiana. "We also invite you to discover (or rediscover) La Marseille which is the country's national anthem, written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of war by France against Austria. In 1946, in London, the great French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt improvised a gypsy jazz version of it with the French-Italian jazzman Stéphane Grappelli. A delight for the ears! 2Popular songs about July 14 include Douce France, written by Charles Trénet in 1943; the famous Song of Roland, one of the oldest French epic poem, written in 1083; as well as 14 Juillet (July 14), a song written in 1940 by the Swiss composer Gilles Jean-Villard for the occupied France and sung in 1943 by the French artist Renée Lebas."

In fact, while the version we sang is incredibly short (35 seconds!), Zunser's original poem, titled "Zman matn kheyruseynu" (The Time of the Giving of our Freedom) had five additional verses, which allowed him to make the contrast even starker: "From stereotypes of the 'crooked Jew', from curses in the newspapers, From the dark censures, from insulting government officials, From dirty anti-semitism — free!" (My fellow Jews, celebrate the Fourth of July...) To this day, [in Europe], the Jews are hated and persecuted; But our Declaration of Independence makes our country different! Our Constitution is sealed with gold! (My fellow Jews, celebrate the Fourth of July...)" ---- and yet Eliakum Tsunzer also wrote Kolumbus mit zayn golden land (Columbus and his golden land) a complaint about poverty in America. |

During the first hour of the Battle of the Somme some sixty thousand men were killed or wounded – among them were twelve officers and over six hundred other ranks of “McCrae’s Battalion”, the 16th Royal Scots. It was Edinburgh´s blackest moment since Flodden. These lads had enlisted voluntarily under the leadership of the charismatic Lieutenant-Colonel Sir George McCrae, partly in response to suggestions in the press that young sportsmen were not ‘doing their bit’ for the war effort." https://www.craigherbertson.com/recordings/hearts-of-glory/ Who cared for the Kaiser or imperial gains Love of our country, duty or fame? Between the whim of an airman and four feathers of shame We fought for the pals of a wee fitba team And when it was over just what had we done? There were no flags of glory for McCrae and his own There were no graves for heroes for our brothers and sons Who sleep 'neath the flowers in the fields of the Somme |

More details about the Strike here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnes_Stores_strike https://www.historyworkshop.org.uk/anti-apartheid-in-ireland-the-dunnes-stores-strike-1984-87/ It was in the month of sweet July in 1984 The scene was set in Dublin, in Dunne's Department Store The supermarket's busy, the registers make a din The groceries go rolling out, the cash comes rolling in! Mary manning was sitting at the till not thinking any harm When a customer comes up to her with a basket on her arm The content of that basket, Mary's destiny will shape For it bears the dreaded label: Produce of The Cape "Oh I can't check out your oranges missus, won't you take them back, For they come from South Africa where white oppresses black, Our Union says don't handle them it's the least that we can do, You'll know what opression is if you are Irish too" For I'd have it on me conscience and I couldn't sleep at night If I helped support a system that denied to blacks their rights" The managers were called, the ones that wear the suits And Mary was suspended 'cause she wouldn't touch the fruits But her friends were all behind her and the union gave support They struck, they picketed the boss was overwrought He said "I'll not be dictated to on what is bought and sold! These women are only workers they should do as they are told" "That's typical", said the strikers, "of apartheid's cruel law, It's not just in South Africa where rich oppresses poor. Ben Dunne won't have a boycott, he'd sooner have the curse. He couldn't care less how he fills his shelves as long as he lines his purse" Now Clery's in O'Connell Street they won't sell racist shoes Best Man returned their clothes and Roches sent back all their booze "'Til all South African goods are taken off the shelves at Dunne's, You'll find us down in Henry Street, sticking to our guns!" "Apartheid", said the strikers, "is the law of slavery, A cruel and immoral crime against humanity. We've learnt about our system too and now we know the score If we go back we'll never take the sh*t we took before" The praises they came rolling in from all around the world For such concern and sacrifice and courage brave and bold When 14 months were over 10 women and a man Had changed the minds and consciences and hearts of Ireland MUDCAT:Lyr Add: Dunne's Store Strike (Sandra Kerr)/mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=170216&messages=4 |

06 Nov 21 - 12:44 AM (#4125319) Subject: RE: Any July Songs From: Levana Taylor In the early hours of July 4, 1925, a dilapidated Boston hotel collapsed, killing 44 of the partiers in the Pickwick Club, a speakeasy on the second floor. It is generally said that the building was brought down by the rhythmic vibrations from the crowd dancing the Charleston (to the sound of "12th Street Rag" played by McGlennon's jazz band). The following year, Arthur Fields (under the name Bob Thomas) recorded "The Pickwick Club Tragedy." To my ears, the usual mix of sentiment and moralizing goes beyond mawkish to bathetic in this composition. The Boston-based folksinger Tony Saletan included it on the 1970 album Folk Songs and Ballads; Tony does sound like he's having a hard time taking the song seriously as he sings!

He was drafted into the Army in late 1966, just as the Vietnam War was heating up. But instead of being sent to Vietnam, he ended up in Stuttgart, West Germany, where he worked as a mechanical engineer. Prine played down his military service, describing his contribution as “drinking beer and pretending to fix trucks.” "And she spent all the money that I give her, Just to see the old man in the moon" refers to NASA and the space project Apollo. youtube Rob Athanas 5 years ago "I knew a girl who was almost a lady"...This song came out a couple of years prior to America's bicentennial, hence, "almost a lady". "Every inch of her blossomed in beauty, she was born on the 4th of July". when America would be 200 yrs. old, thus, a lady. at the end, "Well she sends all the fella's love letters, saying greetings come and see me real soon..." your draft notice, if you received one, started out, "greetings, you have been inducted into the United States Army". the lining up in a bar room is what you did the night before being shipped off to boot camp. too much to cover it all, but one of the all time greatest songs to disguise the meaning. |
