I remember the 5th everyone thinking of 1812 overture.

We need something uplifting, not main stream but fairly well known.

If this event was a movie and you had to pick one song for the trailer what would it be?
 
Star spangled banner? My country tis of thee?

Here is a list from wikipedia of patriotic music:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_patriotic_songs

This is a great idea though. It can drum up support and given insight into our movement. I think the "Liberty Song" is great. I am sure Ron Paul will like it too. It is also a song nobody knows a lot about but has a place in our history. It will be noble to give this song some attention. Its a bit uplifting too. Check it out here:

Plus check out the lyrics!

The Liberty Song said:
Come, join hand in hand, brave Americans all,
And rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty's call;
No tyrannous acts shall suppress your just claim,
Or stain with dishonor America's name.

Chorus:
In Freedom we're born and in Freedom we'll live.
Our purses are ready. Steady, friends, steady;
Not as slaves, but as Freemen our money we'll give.

Our worthy forefathers, let's give them a cheer,
To climates unknown did courageously steer;
Thro' oceans to deserts for Freedom they came,
And dying, bequeath'd us their freedom and fame.

Chorus

The tree their own hands had to Liberty rear'd,
They lived to behold growing strong and revered;
With transport they cried, Now our wishes we gain,
For our children shall gather the fruits of our pain.

Chorus

Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all,
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall;
In so righteous a cause let us hope to succeed,
For heaven approves of each generous deed.

Is this not perfect or what?

Tough song to sing

You can hear Dickinson College Choir sing it at this link.

I think the words are perfect, but after hearing it sung, it's a tough one, with a very wide vocal range and lots of bumpy cadences. The Star-Spangled Banner is a tough song to sing too, but we've grown up with it.

Maybe somebody could take these words and set them to a piece of music that's a bit more modern (NOT RAP) and make it more "singable"?

Another option would be to contact Rockie Lynne and ask him to write one. :D

In any event, if we pick an existing song, we can add a verse or two specifically for the tea party and Dr. Paul.
 
Sunday for Tea

This might be interesting to see what someone can put together with this as a background. I am not talented when it comes to video making.
 
When Liberty Comes Back Home Again

When Liberty Comes Back Home Again​

(To the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home")​

When Liberty comes back home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll celebrate our victory then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Dr. Paul shuts down the war,
Brings back our troops from foreign shores,
Then we'll all feel proud when the troops come marching home!

When Liberty comes back home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll celebrate our victory then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Dr. Paul kills the Income Tax
and gives the Federal Reserve the Ax,
Then we'll all be glad that our money is our own!

When Liberty comes back home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll celebrate our victory then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Dr. Paul cancels Real ID
and we've restored our liberty,
Then we'll all feel proud that our country is our own!

When Liberty comes back home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll celebrate our victory then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When Dr. Paul stops Foreign Aid,
And NAFTA and CAFTA have gone away,
Then we'll all be glad that the Empire is no more!

When Liberty comes back home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll celebrate our victory then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When all our troops protect our shores,
And SWAT teams no longer bust our doors,
Then we'll all be glad that our country has been reborn!

When Liberty comes back home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll celebrate our victory then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
When you can smoke whatever you want,
Even if you're in a restaurant,
Then we'll all be glad that our freedom's been restored!

LOTS more verses can be written; the last three lines are pretty easy to dream up for any issue you want to address.
The last line for any verse can be "Then we'll all rejoice when Liberty comes back home!"

This makes a great marching song, too, but please, no goose-stepping! :D

True. But I really like the hyme though. It sounds good without the lyrics.

I thought it was just for the website?

lol. This is great for promotion videos but for the official teaparty we should use something more dignified. I really like the idea of using a song that has some history and can capture the revolutionary spirit of the colonies.

I like this idea but hopefully it will sound good with the lyrics.

Has anybody ever heard of the band "Fish". My wife's son is very much into this band- they are kind of a mix between folk and funk- like the grateful dead. They have a song called "Boston tea Party". here is a sample:

lol. I like it and I think its another great song for promotion videos. However, for the official song might get media attention and give people some insight into our movement so I think something with some history and patriotism is the best. I do really like your choice though. It sticks in my mind. VERY good for promotion.

I wrote the words for When Liberty Comes Back Home Again as a "Boots on the Ground" protest song. Imagine a few hundred (thousand) marchers carrying Ron Paul signs and banners, marching down the street singing those words!

As a theme song for the movement, how about this one?

For What It's Worth
Buffalo Springfield
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
