Land of Hope and Glory

you.

Our friends at CIA, Land of Hope and Glory, they ran a black ops back in the day where they recruited prostitutes to entice johns and elderly men into message parlours and hotel rooms so they could be administered LSD.

Tasteless, odourless...

They cut all this because they wanted to determine if they could apply it to a military context.

Very.

It is characterized by roaring crowds, thousands of people waving flags, and the loud, triumphant communal singing of patriotic anthems like Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory.

It is the pinnacle of grand, unifying, joyful noise.

And then the music swells, the crowd cheers, the broadcast ends, and the BBC switches the feed.

Brown saw her, and he noted that she included a performance of some patriotic English songs at the end of, of her set.

This included Land of Hope and Glory, which is a very patriotic English song.

So he kind of had this vibe about her that she might be an ally.

The two would ultimately meet, and they would strike up an arrangement.

Ooh.

But, um, yeah, the, uh, the graduation, uh, did you notice they were, they were playing, um, what we would know as Land of Hope and Glory-

Yes

...

So, um, in, in this country, in the UK, it's obviously a, a famously patriotic song.

Mm-hmm.

Land of Hope and Glory.

Uh, British composer Sir Edward Elgar did it, and you always hear it, especially at Night of the Proms.

I think he's recording, what was it, Pump and Circumstance No. 1.

I think Land of Hope and Glory as well.

And he was actually cutting it direct to disc, first day opening at Abbey Road.

That's how far back it goes.
