Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here

[@alexhodge5327]

This song was published in 1917, during WWI. My grandmother used to sing it to me. She was born in 1910.

[@plantlady1092]

My grandfather was born in 1911 and sang it to me too. Great memories.

[@janicestopen8062]

@@plantlady1092 I remember this song from my mother's house in my heart and it was wonderful to hear it again. ❤️

My friend August Caccavone's father was in WW1 though he never really gave out anything about his experiences, August was in the 106th Infantry and 7th Army in the ETO 1944-1945

I love these 1900-1990’s songs just something about it makes me calm.

I usually create Book song lists from the songs which the characters come across in a book. Now I am reeding Slaughterhouse 5 and I have been looking for this song for hours. Searched the simiral words in the lyrics of the opera, and couldn't find anything. Even I watched a Pirates of Pezans play on KZbin. Now It is a relief that you have mentioned Slaughterhouse 5 in the info of this song. Althought It was a time loose for reading the book, I thing Kurt Vonnegut recieved the aim on my suffering to reach that song. The aim of making a person think about Pirates of Pezance and WWII at the same time.

Thank you for posting this version. I don't like the negative version of the song, but I love this version! I also love the clean, family-friendly, old-time imagery. Thank you, Dan!

Yes, same here! I really wish there was some kind of list that compiled all the songs that the Backyardigans music is based on, since there are so many songs like this that exist that I didn't know about

The Ice Palace by F. Scott Fitzgerald brought me here

[@cesartoribio8825]

"When the verdicts of guilty were announced, the courtroom erupted in cheers, as did the crowd outside. A band, there to play for a show of Ford Motor Company cars outside, began playing Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here and There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight." This is the song they sang after the first two of the 9 "scottsboro boys" were convicted of rape in alabama.

[@CaptainMarvelCulture]

Holy crap.

[@chrishorst1318]

Man its so depressing to recall all the horrid hate crimes committed all over usa and especially in the uber racist south. So few ppl have any clue of all the struggles and sacrifices made by civil rights leaders and members. MLK paid with his life as did many others....even musicians like j. Hendrix were monitored by fbi just for supporting civil rights. And in my opinion some of the more radical yet sadly legitimate sectors of usa gov. Assassinated all these revolutionary civil rights leaders. Nothing is more threatening to this gov. than peace. Their economy and power is based 1st and foremost in military industrial complex. No war=no usa profits. This is why they keep us at war and silence our most beloved leaders and artists. The truth is their enemy. Speak truth now, and 4ever.

I see where it states "song is referenced in Slaughterhouse-Five and is wrongly (intentionally?) attributed to Pirates of Penzance, where the music originated from (but not the lyrics)." But i want to clarify this is a ally force song they sang during war time? Or axis?

[@huhusmremre]

...why would it be in English if it were an Axis song?

This is an American popular song - lyrics written in NYC in 1917. Based on an earlier tune by Arthur Sullivan in London.
