"Ingterewsting" [giggle....I think I know how this happened] I think that the answer, specifically, is quite simple.... The answer is "a lot".....

Johann Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 During Second World War I was surprised to hear British soldiers singing very secular texts to the same tunes we used in church on Sabbath. So I started investigating and discovered the secular texts were the original ones to the tunes. In particular I was aghast at hearing them singing about the benefits of alcohol to the tune of What a Friend We Have in Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
