- A Classic song where the 8 Nation Alliance (United States, Germany, Japan, Italy, Great Britain, Russia, and Austria-Hungary), The Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain, as well as Chinese Christians, fought against The Yìhéquán (Boxers) and the Qing Empire. To my knowledge, this is the only instance where all 11 nations (12 if you count the Chinese Christians as another nation), were on the same side of any conflict. This English version features 2 additional verses by yours truly! Lyrics Below!
Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom
Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom
Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom
Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom
The year was nineteen hundred 'tis worth remembering
The men who lived through fifty-five days at Peking
T'was called the Boxers Insurrection a bloody oriental war
Against all nations of the diplomatic core
The flags of France and Britain
How they fluttered in the breeze
The Italian and the Russian and the flag of the Japanese
Then came the sound of bugles
And the rolling drums of doom
And the streets of Peking were as empty as a tomb
[Chorus]
The Nations built defences, ragged as they were
As their leaders got together, for the plan there to concur
Austrians joined with Frenchmen,
Ameri’cans with Germans too
Italians fought by Japanese
And The British held on true!
But all of this to not mistake
The fact that there were more
For 11 nations fought along with the Chinese Christian Corps
[Chorus]
The Nations numbered 400 but the horde we couldn’t count
Yet for each of us that went down, the odds we did surmount
But just as were almost lost,
and surrender sounded good
A young boy brought us good news
and we all understood
For only 100 miles
In the city of Tianjin
The Relief army was coming to save our skins.
[Chorus]
For many among the wounded, then joined the fray again
For the glory of our last defence was greater than any pain
But They stormed the French Legation
They attacked with shot and shell
And they came in blood red blouses
Screaming "sha’shau" (杀殺啊) as they fell
The drums have long been muffled
The bugles cease to ring
But through the ages you can hear them echoing

Thank You For Watching!
Songs are running late this month so apologies all! This song I've been quietly hoping to get out for a while, but I kept running into issues recording and editing this past week. Hopefully it didn't hit the quality of the video! If you want to support me please check out Patreon:

Also for those interested in the historical context of the song, turn on closed captions, I went though *relatively* in-depth detail as to the context for the lines.
Thank you again!

No need to be sorry you did a wonderful job
China: You cannot defeat me!
The rest of Asia: Oh we know.. *but they can.*
**55 days at Peking starts playing**
Best crossover event in history. America, Germany, and Russia should totally do a collab again.
Well US and Germany already have, while Russia on the other hand…..
@@gribbitsgames5455 Russia being a bullet in the butt and won’t likely collab again..

Damn Karl Sternau has an American twin
When and if ww3 happens with China I can see this song coming back in all nation that where there

55 days at Taipei
@@lucasward9506and taipei shall forever stay as it was, forever unfallen
the year was 2024, its worth remembering the men who lived through 55 hours at beijing.
it was called the orwellian resistance, a bloody war against all nations of the allied invasion fleet
the flags of America and Britain, how they fluttered in the breeze
the French and the Germans and the flag of the Japanese
big brother xi gave the order, let the NATO army be driven from beijing
the Uighurs and the Tibetans,
the activists and the partisans
to the PLA gave hell
the loudspeakers have long since died
the radios cease to work
but through the ages you can hear them anyway!
This time russian ain't gonna be in the 11 nation i bet
I wrote an English (British-Raj) version, It's actually just the English version with some alternative verses:
The year was 1900,
They worth remembering
The men who lived through
55 days at Peking
Beyond the Himalayas,
The Rebellious Boxers war
Against all nations
Of the diplomatic core
The flags of France and Britain
How they fluttered in the breeze
The Italian and the Russian
And the flag of the Japanese
And the banner of the Spaniards
And Belgium I could tell
Germany and the Austro-Hungarians
The Stripes-and-Stars as well
The Empress of all China
Gave the signal to begin
And let the foreign devils
Be driven from Peking
The Hindus and the Moslems
The Buddhists and the Sikhs
Came to aid the Christian captives
55 days at Peking
The drums have long been muffled
The bugles cease to ring
We came back to India
Hanged our guns after Peking
Note: I'm not Indian, nor British. If there is some mistake or something I should correct. Please response this comment. Thanks.
"And the stripes and stars as well" that goes TOO HARD
@@FishbedFive I also wrote an Esperanto version (it's in my channel) unfortunately, I'm not good at singing. that's my first time actually.
I see the effort you put into the captions thank you for the lesson, it was very enjoyable
Thank you! 😃
The Biggest "Me and the Boys Moment" in history
Yet another banger, love your voice and the different pacing with the music.
When the Chinese transfer sneezes

Time for round 2 boys.
#SayNoToCommunism
Man you know you're the bad guy when almost every industrial country in the world has a bone to pick with you
Well every industrial nation had stake in the rebellion: if the boxxers won their china would be hostile to the west, there wouldnt be any trade and thus no profits. I mean the unequal treaties and legation cities were just ways to keep China on her knees.
Nice job on this one! Wish we had more weird crossovers like this.
This is a lot better than the original!
It's crazy seeing you release all these songs, I remember when you just had like five!
Hi again! I wrote an Esperanto version (it's in my channel) unfortunately, I'm not good at singing. that's my first time actually.
Lyrics:
En jaro mil-naŭcent la granda urbo tremis
Vivoj multaj suferis! tiuj tagoj en Pekin(o)'!
Ĉinaj kaj eksterlandaj; teruro ilin konsumis
La koroj en dolor(o)' de la loĝantoj sinkis
Eksterlandaj invadoj al la Qing kolerigis
La imperio en malkresko neegal(aj)' kontraktoj subskribis
Vilaĝanoj en norda Ĉinio, konstruis rankoron
Kontraŭ misiistoj kiuj misuzis potencon
«Subtenu la “Qing” regno kaj ekstermu fremduloj»
La Boksistoj kriis, kaŭzante perfort(o)' en la kampoj
Dek-unu nacioj armeoj helpis la kaptitojn…
Kiuj serĉis rifuĝon en la Delegacioj
Gajnis sektoron de ĉinaj kaj internaciaj soldatoj
Pri: dekokmil viktimoj kaj perdoj
Ho nekalkuleblaj; civiluloj, milisanoj…
Vivoj multaj suferis en kvindek kvin tagoj!
Kiom da vivoj ili suferos?
En Pekin(o)'; kvindek kvin tagoj
Could I use this song in a video?
So long as the video isn't overtly political and you give credit (ideally a link back to this) go for it!
Certified Me and the Boys moment
Honestly, it’s amazing what happens when everyone is so united… 🇺🇳
