These people grew up with this anthem and it guided them through WWII. Was sung at Winston Churchill’s funeral. Look at the crowd in this video, a lot singing the whole text by heart. I doubt that most Americans now could sing their Anthem by heart. Maybe they could hum it. That is why it is left mostly to professional singers in public settings to sing over crowds. The US Anthem is a feat of technical challenge even for professional singers.

There is dis-enfranchised sentiment in the meditating community out there that could hope for more 'authenticity' in the TM movement community. Substitute “movement” for “union” with some other substitutions and Part of the Movement could work as a pop song for aspects of the meditating community. It awaits a troubadour to come along with a guitar to amplify it again. “Now I'm a [movement] man Amazed at what I am I say what I think, that the company stinks Yes I'm a union man When we meet in the local hall I'll be voting with them all With a hell of a shout, it's "Out meditators, out!" And the rise of the factory's fall Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die, until the day I die As a union man I'm wise To the lies of the company spies And I don't get fooled by the factory rules 'Cause I always read between the lines And I always get my way If I strike for higher pay When I show my card to the Scotland Yard And this is what I say Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union.., etc.” ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : The Shakers, a spiritual re-gen movement like ours looking for broad cultural changes, used this song as a meeting closer.

I've never considered it anything other than a satire. In the early to mid-1970s there was a lot of public feeling against the perceived selfishness and power of the trade unions, who were, it seemed, always going on strike and inconveniencing the public. This song is a swipe at union arrogance. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> wrote : Re "Part of the Union": Another great song. But I could virtually repeat what I just now posted about The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" in reference to The Strawbs' hit. When I heard it at the time it came out I took it as a straight piece of pro-union power, lefty agitprop. Since then some have suggested it was in reality a satirical attack on the unions. From Wiki: The song is widely considered to be a proud folk anthem for the working man, and was unofficially adopted by the trade union movement. Some see the lyrics as satirically anti-trade union, though reportedly “the band has frequently stated that that’s not the case at all” while Cousins did not deny the satire in an 2010 interview. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Here's your right-leaning political pop song.

Can't think of a right-wing pop song off the top of my head.) But I'd rate John Lennon's output as the best. Definitely the catchiest! Maybe the song Imagine (1971) . . . or Revolution (1968) . . . or Give Peace a Chance (1969). But this Lennon track is so disillusioned and "plague on both your houses" that it best encapsulates my attitude to the dismal world of politics . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxyMIov9ngg&index=1&list=FLJad8vN225Nr5hDIzlEOYMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxyMIov9ngg&index=1&list=FLJad8vN225Nr5hDIzlEOYMA .
