Brits behaving badly

New page

"Here we go, here we go", sung to the tune of the Sousa march Stars and Stripes Forever, is a chant commonly associated with English football fans. It amuses British people that Sousa's rousing marches are played, without fail, at the inauguration of American presidents, as the Earwig song seems to be a favourite (Earwig-o, earwig-o, earwig-o-oh!), not to mention the Monty Python theme music, which Americans perhaps know better as The Liberty Bell. ....

....George Bush the elder used ''Stars and Stripes Forever'', akas the Earwig Song, at his inauguration ceremony.

George W. Bush the Younger also employed the Earwig Song.

However, Bill Clinton gave British viewers the full house by using not only the Earwig Song but also the Monty Python theme music at his inauguration. Well founded rumour has it that the British diplomatic and political contingent had to be shushed, as a ''sotto-voce'' but growing susurration of ''ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go-o''could be heard from the cheap seats. Non-clued up Americans were also heard wondering why the Brits, or at least some of them, blew a well-choreographed raspberry on the end of the thirty-second bar of ''The Liberty Bell'' and wondered if some subtle insult were being implied here. --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 11:10, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
