Default Fans of the Over There song

It's meant for Canadian soldiers :salute: , but if you like the song Over There, it's good.

Good song. I disagree with the phrase, 'Ours is not to reason why.' We know why!

It’s from the phrase
'Ours is not to reason why, ours but to do or die'


Another words not to question orders..

A great song (I believe it will become a bit of an anthem) put to excellent use with the slide show.

Default Re: Fans of the Over There song

"Into the valley of death rode the 600." Yes, Alfred Lord Tennyson, a most moving poem that illustrates an unnecessary and pointless order, followed to the letter because the men had given an oath to obey. What magnificent men we have; and that one officer will live on as the poorest example of "leadership" ever to have lived.

"Over There," was written by George M. Cohen - not for Canadians, but they are welcome to use it.

Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
For the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming everywhere... "

WWI - It was a horrible war, wasn't it.

Default Re: Fans of the Over There song

This is a great find, Tim. The title fooled me because I immediately thought of the WWI song, but it's nothing like that at all. This is a haunting melody and worth hearing again.

Default Re: Fans of the Over There song

I thought this was about the show 'Over There'.. Looks like I stepped in 'it' again. LOL!

This is the 'intro' though. I've the DVD set.

Grand song tho, no matter 'who' it's directed to.
