  4. "This Land Is Your Land" is a song by #AmericanFolk singer #WoodyGuthrie. One of the #UnitedStates' most famous #folkSongs, its lyrics were written in 1940 in critical response to #IrvingBerlin's "#GodBlessAmerica". Its #melody is based on a #CarterFamily tune called "When the World's on Fire". When Guthrie was tired of hearing #KateSmith sing "God Bless America" on the radio in the late 1930s.

  5. "God Bless America" is an American patriotic song written by #IrvingBerlin during World War I in 1918 and revised by him in the run-up to #WorldWarII in 1938. The later version was recorded by #KateSmith, becoming her #signatureSong. "#GodBlessAmerica" takes the form of a #prayer (with introductory lyrics noting that "as we raise our voices, in a solemn prayer") for God's blessing and peace for the nation ("stand beside her and guide her through the night").

    Another #NoEffort entry comes from the Fat Lady Who Sings When It's Over:

    🎵 I spoke last night to the ocean
    I spoke last night to the sea
    And from the ocean a voice came back
    'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me

    Ship ahoy
    Ship ahoy
    I can hear you, Sailor Boy... 🎵

    Before television was permitted to run 24 hours a day, at the end of each broadcasting day all stations would play Kate Smith's "God Bless America" by Irving Berlin, and then the Star Spangled Banner. Good ole days.
