Why would an American sailor get a morale boost from a rewritten perversion of a British song?

Here's what they really listened to.

Jan Kyster · 10-01-10, 03:27 PM

depending on mood...

Battle Hymn all the way!

Sometime I serve "Sunrise"...

Usually makes the boat very quiet for a very long time...

My favourite military march of all time :

7th Cavalry march.

ETR3(SS) · 10-01-10, 06:50 PM

This would be the appropriate song to improve morale of a US Navy vessel.

Personally .... I have my crew [U-51] do this on the deck after a successful attack [preferably in full view of enemy]. Seems to do the trick

**Edit** Keep in mind they are in uniform, two lines facing, on deck

You guys don't know much about improving morale. This works for my men.

Not quite, at least not at first. The tune is Garryowen, a late 18th Century Irish drinking song adopted first by the British 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers and only much later by the US 7th Cavalry.
