The term parody is used where one takes a song and rewrites the lyrics as to insert a different shade or nuance of meaning from the original. This is typically done to pay musical homage to the original in its own right, and to make use of musical device dating from the romantic period (roughly middle 1800s-early 1900s ). While some parodies are humorous or satire, not all are necessarily intended to be so. Parody and scherzo were commonly used as political devices from the era of the original 13 colonies. (This sort of thinv is backdrop from which many patriotic songs in the American repritoire were composed.)
yup....those left wing loonies are sure doing a good job of lying cheating and stealing. The 3 bulwarks of their twisted path to the future of not only America but the world. Go get'm guys!!! You elitist snobs at Davos are the future we need and desire!!! ......i will rely on my Faith......with a bit o' the second to protect my rights...
Not "Is Happening". "Has Happened". The dictatorship of Trump has only made clear how things really are. In the US, the voice of the people has not mattered since 1960. Only the voice of the rich has determined policy since then. Regardless of which party had the power. It is called "CORRUPTION". #represent.us.
I spent the first half century of my life hearing my parents generation asking; "How could the German people have allowed it to happen"? Now I listen to my German husband (we are both immigrants to Australia) asking; "How could the American people allow this to happen"?
maybe because one side was united by hate while the other side squabbled among themselves and encouraged splitting up their votes among multiple parties? just a thought
I find it hard to believe that it's just one man. Every one I've seen is excellent and I have been binge watching and then watching some a more than once this is 1 of them
I love the tone the harmonizing gives this song. It's quality I've never heard before in any song. I also love the small bit of hope given at the end of the song, like a light at the end of a long dark tunnel. Definitely one of my favorite songs you uploaded. Love you
This song just becomes more relevant as the years drag forward... we're closer and closer to the edge every day now.. ❤ thank you for singing for the people ❤
I’m sorry that this is a year late and I mean no rudeness by this but your wrong the star spangled banner is the most powerfully patriotic song we have and then maybe the actual Battle Hymn of Republic
Fantastic! As the original Battle Hymn of the Republic led a nation into a war to end slavery, let's hope this version leads us to fight against the slavery of the oligarchs... Power to the people, not the corporations!
Terressa Kennedy how can the people expect corporations to pay tax when they aren’t willing to pay tax? What is this shit? If you travel to some countries you will see what nice things our taxes provide for us. Otherwise your pretty much ignorant and take it for granted.
@Terressa Kennedy All of those (and the COVID-19 pandemic) are interstate, national and international issues, and so require as well a federal response and authority.

Love it! But I must say I am also saddened by the truth of your words here. The truth is that frightened people are willing to give up rights and freedoms for the promise of security, what they forget is that once a right is lost you never get it back again. You have a keen insight to where the truth lies in these matters.well done as usual. 🖤🇨🇦

This honestly makes me sad what has happened over the years. This beat alone made me tear up and realize how much people did for this country to protect it and were just throwing it all away. They didn't deserve this. We don't deserve this.
Sadly, I guess we do deserve it b/c we've been such dupes, letting the media - which the billionaires have entirely bought up as it says - divide us over piddly-poo while indeed, they deregulate everything and destroy all our rights. They're always working on pocketing our Social Security, Veteran's Benefits and what little we have left. Russell Brand's does a great job exposing a lot of that on utube too.
Allow me, an Indonesian who has long admired your genius and your songs , to warmly compliment you with this brilliant rendering of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." I love the USA very much, and I deeply sympathize with the plight of its suffering citizens.
LoriAnn Grilley-Jamroz Yes, of course! Trump is a disaster for the USA. We Indonesians have a great guy as President, Joko Widodo. But lots of our politicians are corrupt through and through.
I am probably not the only one who had to sing with the group. Beautiful harmony, sad truths. You ended on a hopeful note. But hope needs a leader, and honestly, I don't see anyone with the courage. We have a tyrant in the making. Who will stand up to him and his tribe?

Trump might try to invade Canada. Our military is more powerful than the next 30 countries COMBINED, 29 of which, including Canada, are supposedly our allies. Unfortunately, he has a much better chance of succeeding than James Madison did!
@@Tomeleck Oh? I heard this lie before... Luckily as a Canadian I enjoy my quick and first rate medical service that we provide to ourselves with our own taxes. You are welcome to enjoy the services that your insurance guys decide you are entitled to, if you happen to have any after loosing your jobs due to Covid, which the US government is so proud of controlling, All this while the rich enjoy their hefty tax cuts that allow them to buy the best of everything. Please, look closer and do not believe the propaganda. Why do you think Canada has so much less per capita corona deaths than our southern neighbors? Who has the better medical care...?
Not one day passes where i am not praying for the American people to be strong, to get up and fight for your rights. The world needs it! Thank you PP for your constant reminders. Best wishes, Ma♥
This was extremely well done and hit a lot of very vital parts including the need to ignore party politics and focus on who is pulling the strings . No progress happens until Citizens United is repealed.
Bravo!! You nailed it again! You've lifted my hopes once again. It seems when I'm in deep despair you bring on the truth and drag me from my depths ! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is the first parody I heard and the truth and importance of the lyrics struck me. Now, having listened to it probably 50 or more times, I am really impressed by the intricacies of the parts, the timing, changes of which guy sings what when is pretty amazing. It must have been a heck of a job planning that all out. You are one extremely talented person.
It is always said that true words are spoken, or in this case, sung in jest. The words expressed here are true of America, but not just in the current climate. These words sum up America through ALL its history!

I don't know which I love more, your clever lyrics or ear-candy harmonies. Thanks for this!
Thank you Auntie for moving us to Canada. Let's hope and pray the illness in America doesn't spread to Ottawa.
I am jealous. But maybe you guys can create a vaccine and send it our way for future generations?
Trump might try to invade Canada. Our military is more powerful than the next 30 countries COMBINED, 29 of which, including Canada, are supposedly our allies. Unfortunately, he has a much better chance of succeeding than James Madison did!
My dad tried to move us across the Detroit River for years.
Unfortunately for us, "Label Salesman" didn't cut it 😒
TOO Late for Canada. Enjoy your three month wait to see a mediocre doctor.
@@Tomeleck Oh? I heard this lie before... Luckily as a Canadian I enjoy my quick and first rate medical service that we provide to ourselves with our own taxes. You are welcome to enjoy the services that your insurance guys decide you are entitled to, if you happen to have any after loosing your jobs due to Covid, which the US government is so proud of controlling, All this while the rich enjoy their hefty tax cuts that allow them to buy the best of everything. Please, look closer and do not believe the propaganda. Why do you think Canada has so much less per capita corona deaths than our southern neighbors? Who has the better medical care...?
Not one day passes where i am not praying for the American people to be strong, to get up and fight for your rights. The world needs it! Thank you PP for your constant reminders. Best wishes, Ma♥
United we stand. Divided we fall.
This was extremely well done and hit a lot of very vital parts including the need to ignore party politics and focus on who is pulling the strings . No progress happens until Citizens United is repealed.
When they sang "as they keep marching on" i saw in my head the hammer and sickle marching as per The Wall by Pink Floyd. Fitting.
I look forward to his parodies. He’s so good. He’s right on whether or not you agree with the partisan politics.
Brilliant! They say more and more people are waking up. Hope it's true. Thank you for your superb contribution.
I just want express how much I enjoyed listening to their voices. They are wonderful singers. I think they are awesome!
Brilliant and always on the mark ! Sad that nothing has changed in the last 12 months!
Consider me 'schooled'! Very entertaining and even more applicable to our sad plight. I love it, thank you!!
It's a shame your words ring true, corporate ownership is so sad. You keep marching on!
Bravo!! You nailed it again! You've lifted my hopes once again. It seems when I'm in deep despair you bring on the truth and drag me from my depths ! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Holy crap! This is just ONE GUY singing all the parts! Amazing.
🌟⭐🌟 We are the ones who hold the Power! Thank you 🌟⭐🌟
This is the first parody I heard and the truth and importance of the lyrics struck me. Now, having listened to it probably 50 or more times, I am really impressed by the intricacies of the parts, the timing, changes of which guy sings what when is pretty amazing. It must have been a heck of a job planning that all out. You are one extremely talented person.
It's not right vs left but the people vs the government and the corporations
Don is an amazing musician and brings us great messages and smiles with that skill.
Why is the more accurate as it gets older
All noncapitalists should love this.... Looking forward to 2024.
It is always said that true words are spoken, or in this case, sung in jest. The words expressed here are true of America, but not just in the current climate. These words sum up America through ALL its history!
Wow, just.....wow. I have goosebumpy chills! Thank you for this, for the inspiration, and most definitely for the HOPE!
That was great, both musically and politically. More please!
@@Tinman23126 awee... Poor guy.
@@Tinman23126 you mean like that draft dodging elitist piece of shit traitor that currently resides in our White House?
This is the truth and nothing but the truth.This is not funny!!!
Fine piece of music and sharp lyrics. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to
FANTASTIC arrangement. and ALL THE FACTS ARE SOOOO TRUE!!! ESPECIALLY THE BANKING AND THE MONOPOLIES!! THE govt. acts like it is distressed at the monopolies but it is they who let them grow so powerful. GREAT ARRANGEMENT, well-delivered!! Wish I'd found this a long time ago!! More, please!!
good job.
