Lol, so Americanon has been looking at different national anthems and what not and when I listened to "God, Save the Queen," I noticed how it matches the tune to an American patriotic song called "America (My Country 'Tis of Thee)."
And I figured, hey, it's probably something that slipped into America's subconscious back from the time of the colonies (human brains constantly rip off things from other sources without us noticing (: ).
But then I remembered how the American national anthem was formed. You know, poem written during that war-we-will-not-speak-of and eventually adapted musically from a British pub song and turned into our national anthem. Sure, the song was a bit pimped out, but it still came from a British song.
So tl;dr: I want to see Arthur complaining to Alfred about him ripping off British songs. And Alfred claiming to not know what Arthur is talking about. Hilarity ensues and the rest is up to anon. :)
And a bonus would be if Arthur complains about Alfred making his anthem too damn difficult to sing anyway (DDD: It's true. They tell you to join in, but you have to have talent to sing it without sounding stupid. D: )
The two songs for people from other countries who might not've heard them :
