What Are Some Old Navy Theme Songs?

Answer 1

One assumes you mean the U>S. Navy and not the (Old Navy) clothing stores. Obviously Anchors Aweigh qualifies as the service"s Theme song used at Annapolis and played by Navy Bands, etc. It was composed quite modernly- around l904 as I can recall reading in the Maryland WPA state guide. ( many people think the song is older, as it is, after all, official government stuff. Likewise there are many people who think the (Pledge of Allegiance) to the flag dates to the Colonial period. it doesn:t it was written in l892 by a man named Bellamy for a juvenile magazine called Youth:s Companion, somewhat oddly, the Flag pledge appeared in the october issue of the magazine, celebrating mainly- and quite likely- as a big celebration fair was going on in Chicago at the time- Columbus Day! On the Navy songs angle there are others, one should not confuse merchant sea-chanteys such as ( Blow the Man down) which was originally associated with the long defunct Black Ball shipping line ( sailing ships) and indirectly linked to whaling- where Blow the Man down had a different connotation. The subject of naval songs is well worthy of research. Be advised, a good many are parodies on familiar, and often patriotic songs such as ( Battle Hymn of the Republic). there are some originals though.
