So, another thing that I put to bed was I never understood.
In the Moto2 race, this guy from Great Britain won.
And whenever they win, they would play what I knew as My Country Tisithy.
My Country Tisithy, sweet land of liberty, of the high sea.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
You know, why are they playing our song?
And then I just finally looked up and I just said, I looked up My Country Tisithy
and looked up that and I looked up England's National Anthem.
And it turns out we ripped them off.
It's their song.
I didn't know that.
So, ours goes, My Country Tisithy, sweet land of liberty, of the high sea.
Land where I'm on and all that shit.
Their song, it's kind of hilarious lyrics.
It goes, God save our gracious queen.
Long live our noble queen.
God save the queen.
Now, right off the bat, you can't tell me that bitch wasn't looking over the
dude's shoulder as he was writing the lyrics.
Yes, you gotta mention me in every fucking line.
Send her victorious, happy and glorious.
Long to reign over us.
God save the queen.
I mean, how fucking pussy whipped are us?
Are they long to reign over us?
They're like just total fucking cucks to this lady, right?
Then what I like, this is, there's really interesting lyrics.
Our lord, our god, arise, scatter our enemies.
Just trying to make it right.
And make them fall.
I love this part here.
Confound their politics.
Frustrate their navish tricks.
Navish tricks.
I don't know how to say that.
On the hopes we fix.
God save us all.
And this, is this the New World Order one?
Here's the New World Order one part.
Not in this land alone, but be God's mercies known from shore to shore.
Here we go.
Lord, make the nation see that men should brothers be and form one family.
Oh, Jesus.
The wide world over or whatever.
Yeah, okay, there you go.
There you go.
There's the Illuminati.
They wrote that stanza.
So that's cool.
So that's the national anthem.
And it's typical yank.
I had no fucking idea.
Been watching racing forever.
I'm like, are they giving a shit that the English guy won?
That they're fucking playing our song?
You know, like that time I saw the Stanford band play the Farmers Only.
You don't have to be lonely.
When they were playing Iowa at the Rose Bowl, I thought they were giving a shit.
So it turns out it's their national anthem, which is called God Save the Queen.
Great fucking tune.
And it also makes me appreciate the title of the Sex Pistol album.
Right?
But that angry redheaded bastard, right?
God Save the Queen.
Right.
I'm saying it ironically.
It's amazing how angry that guy still is.
Is it Joni Rolton?
Roy, I'm living up to me name.
I'm in a rotten mood always.
Are those flowers?
I don't like them.
That guy makes me look like a fucking breath of fresh air.
