How many 1700s drinking songs does anyone know the tune of today? Well, there's "To Anacreon in Heaven", better known as "The Star Spangled Banner".
"Aura Lee" is from the 1860s, but the tune is better known today as Elvis's "Love Me Tender".
The guy who put that high note in a drinking song is one of my favorite humans.
Coincidentally, Elvis’ is only the second best song titled “Love Me Tender”. Nothing could ever be better than this absolute, uh, masterpiece
