The sheet music for this song doesn't sound the same. I wonder if it was edited after by Tom Lehrer.

I guess Hasbara works.

Our Rossini: A brillaint comedic composer. I wish Tom had written some light operas, but I just does love what he did actually do. A national treasure.

Love how his voice didn’t change in forty years. Love that he’s still alive and kicking in 2024!!!❤❤❤❤

listening to this and a dozen of jewels more by this genius,for the first time in my life in 2024 , this will never ,ever,get old. By the way, now I know where my beloved Tim Minchin got inspiration from...😅😅

Thank you! I always wondered why it sounded like 'That's Entertainment', but not quite. And now I know.

Oh he’s exquisite! His piano games lit, his voice is clear and charismatic and the lyrics is just as clever as it’s entertaining

Parodying wokeness before it was cool, lol

Fun song

You're a beautiful white man and you are worthy and understood

Song is amazing! ;-)

i was in a private school before four years in israel that was an Scottish army base i fell in love with a girl and till this day i remembers her by this song

Absolutely love it!

I love this song

12 years ago, 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 2 years ago. Welcome to 2020.

This slaps

The Irish brigade were just jealous when they made the song black watch And to use this tune humph

Forward the Forty Twa!

Ive got the Ross tartan hanging in my room. Anyone know where I can get a good quality 42nd tartan?

How did I just find this song?

Where is this song from? Is it the national anthem of the Black watch unit.

At least 100,000 of those views are mine. Forward the 42nd

I am pretty sure this is Bo Burnham's father

What an asshole.

You may talk about your Lancers or your Irish Fusiliers The Aberdeen Militia or the Queen's own Volunteers Or any other regiment that's lying far awa' Come give to me the tartan of the Gallant Forty Twa And strolling through the green fields on a summer day Watching all the country girls working at the hay I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa' When I saw him in the tartan of the Gallant Forty Twa I never will forget the day his regiment marched past The pipes they played a lively tune but my heart was aghast He turned around and smiled farewell and then from far awa' He waved to me the tartan of the Gallant Forty Twa And strolling through the green fields on a summer day Watching all the country girls working at the hay I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa' When I saw him in the tartan of the Gallant Forty Twa Once again I heard the music of the pipers from afar They tramped and tramped the weary men returning from the war And as they nearer drew I brushed a woeful tear awa' To see my bonnie laddie of the Gallant Forty Twa And strolling through the green fields on a summer day Watching all the country girls working at the hay I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa' When I saw him in the tartan of the Gallant Forty Twa I really was delighted and he stole my heart awa' When I saw him in the tartan of the Gallant Forty Twa

STEADY THE BLACK WATCH

Brilliant 👏

My school is using it in the MATH display

god bless all vets round the globe lest we forget

One man I like in US

The ladies from Hell.

@willspear1564 do you understand satire? This song is more relevant today than ever!

Classic. .love it

When he sings the line about Franco, he incorporates the melody of 'El Quinto Regimiento', a tune from the Spanish Civil War, into the song.

My family served in the Black Watch for more years that I care to remember and we're all for independence, don't mistake duty for loyalty.

I think the thing I like about so much of Lehrer's 'song of a genre' work is that his songs are clearly satires from a place of fondness and knowledge for the musical genres and their followers. I think its what makes his barbs, savage though they are so enjoyable.

The left may not be able to beat the fascists in the elections, but at least we can win the post-election crowd sizes, and we all know that's what really counts in determining whether people get healthcare and abortion rights.
