Even though the French gov't bugs the hell out of me, I actually DO like most of your country. Please, enjoy your holiday. |

Allons enfants de la Patrie, le jour de glaoire est arrivé...!
It's a joke! |

What's a joke? How you spelled "gloire"?
The song was written in 1972 as the French army sought to repel invasions by the Prussians and Austrians to take advantage of a French state weakened by the political turmoil of the Revolution. The ideals they were fighting for by the great philosophers Diderot, Rousseau, and Montesquieu were copped verbatim by Thomas Jefferson for the Declaration of Independence, and still form the basis of the American concept of liberty to this day. If you read the lyrics in whatever language you know, they're intense and bloody, not very funny at all. |

Jesus H. Christ. 1792, not 1972.
Happy Bastille Day to MW, Caro, Ju, and all our other French friends. |

TJ copped a lot of ideals. It'd be nice if the whole wide world kept copping those ideals. |
