What are you listening to? Track 5

[hrodwulf123]

Yeah, you're right - it's the same tune!
That's okay - the "camp hymn" for our Scout camp in central Wisconsin borrowed the tune of an old fraternity song for its tune. As a matter of fact, actor Mark Hamill's alma mater, Yokohama High School in Japan, uses the exact same tune for its school song as our Scout camp did!

I believe that the modern-day term for this would be "sampling" - just like the "My country, 'Tis of Thee" has completely different lyrics, while it shares the same melody with "God Save the Queen".

If you listened to a certain operetta by French composer Jacques Offenbach (1819�1880) you'd hear a little ditty that later became the US Marine Corps Hymn.

That's from "Genevi�ve de Brabant"

I remember back in 1989, when the East German Communist government fell, there was talk of making Masur the new president.
