and censored it--then a mere 10 or so years later, made it the Colorado State song. Hah!

Not an Independence Day song, you say? Well, it sure as hell was mine and just about every other Coloradoan's.

I always get tears in my eyes when I watch these. I taught my 1st Graders "You're A Grand 'Ol Flag" and they LOVED it too! My enthusiasm was evident when I belted it out and had to close the classroom door (my voice sucks but 6 year olds can't tell).

The British began the name to mock Americans, but Americans embraced it and sang this song.
