    After the popularity of the song, "Ami, Go Home!" became a popular political catchphrase, both in the Warsaw Pact countries, and in some NATO countries. In the 1960s, the slogan was used by a large variety of anti-war groups across Europe in response to American atrocities in Vietnam and remained relevant during the period of the peace movement in the 1970s. Following this, the slogan entered into common parlance, but has become relevant again with the advent of the war in Iraq and new opposition to NATO from both the left and right political factions in Europe.

      It’s an American melody from the civil war called “Tramp Tramp Tramp”. The Irish then used it in “God Save Ireland”.

      @@tnoomsk5897 George F. Root wrote "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp!" in 1864, for Union Prisoners of War during the American Civil War. George F. Root was one of the most prominent American composers at the time, having written "Battle Cry of Freedom," "Just Before the Battle, Mother," and "The Vacant Chair." "Ami, Go Home!" uses the tune of "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp!" this isn't a problem at all, but it is a problem that Spirit of the Revolution doesn't credit Root, instead claiming that the song was the work of Ernst Busch and Hanns Eisler.

    The original tune is called the Prisoner's Song, for everyone wondering. (Also known as Tramp, Tramp, Tramp)

    Hello, comrade, can you make an instrumental version of Oktobersong?

  • @Folknox
    @Folknox Год назад +14

    This is the tune of "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, or the Prisoner's Hope," written and composed by George F. Root in 1864 for Union POWs. It was later used for the Irish Republican song "God Save Ireland," and the American nursery rhyme "Jesus Loves the Little Children." It is in no way German when you remove the German lyrics, they chose the tune to compare the occupation to prison.

      Not just any Republican song, but the more or less unofficial anthem of the Republican movement. It is a good tune to place your own lyrics on. The Wobbly Red Songbook has its own version called "The Tramp"

    The melody is appropriated from an old US Civil War song. Completely unoriginal tbh.

    The flag of the former GDR came into force on October 7, 1949. The singer Ernst Busch was a communist and became a member of the SED, the Socialist Unity Party of the GDR, in 1946 under Russian occupation in East Berlin. The song dates from 1952. The Berlin blockade was from 1949-1952. In 1951, 188,000 people fled to the American sector. Stalin's solution was to close the border and lock people up.
