The song actually predates the Great War. It came to popularity during the Second Boer War, or the South African War as it was also known. During the run-up to the outbreak of war in 1899, it could often be heard emanating from music halls throughout Britain.
Great game, great song, but I think that it would be better on PC. I love the game, I beat it on Xbox when it was new, but I don't think the controls would hold up.
I downloaded this on Xbox series x and it says I need to enter my past account which I don’t have if anyone knows a way around this let me know this was my favorite game as a kid.
An old favorite of mine, and one that I've even referenced in my American music history class, and am about to recommend to the professors of my First World War class.
True, it was originally written during the Spanish-American War, but it was adopted by British music halls as early as 1914 and became popular among the Entente. Also, if you really want to take the unnecessary step of pointing out which side had blue uniforms, what about the French?
Good Old Collingwood forever, They know how to play the game. Side by side they stick together, To uphold the Magpies name. See, the barrackers are shouting, As all barrackers should. For the Premiership’s a cakewalk For the good old Collingwood.
The game this song is from is Toy Soldiers. However, Boomguy is referring to real life events. This happened during WW1, the war the game is based in, and WW2.
Perhaps your talking about the infamous Gallipoli landings which many Aussies were killed fighting against the Ottoman Turks and endured hellish conditions there
@@Real_Mick3y6 Actually the same but World War 1 and the one that came after WW2 set the stage for the entire 20th Century and into the time we know today

I remember falling asleep with the main menu screen still on and dreaming I was in the game while this music played. Good times.

Andy G Popularised by the brits, but it was written for the Spanish American war
I thought this was a Spanish-American war song?
@@advanced2431 It is.
@@dementedkhan4008Yes because it mentions the blue uniforms worn back then
We Afrikaners refer to the conflict as "British Bullies Invade an area held by peaceful farmers"
True fucking respect for people who played this game as kid I am among them.
:D Best game i've ever played. Have to find one that tops it.
Respect to you, as well.
I held the top spot in Kaiser's survival, for years. Someone topped me by a few seconds, this year!

Hey! You And Me Both!

@@Sam-um1wr just bought it on steam to take me back to the old days of xbox 360, takes a tear to my eye
I'm glad this is backwards compatible on Xbox, such a great game & song.

This song literally makes me cry every time I hear it.
Brings back memories, good memories.
An old favorite of mine, and one that I've even referenced in my American music history class, and am about to recommend to the professors of my First World War class.
sirrliv this is a spano-american war song (hence "uniforms o' blue" referring to the US uniform.) Even though it was popular during the Boer War.
+sirrliv you can still trick your teachers by telling them the blue uniforms are the german ones ;)

sirrliv the song is sung in english, wich would make me think it was sided for britain, allied of france.
+alexww180 France wore blue uniforms
I love this game.
+Herbivore The Carnivore meme
never knew i would see you here
god i remember showing this song to my great grandpa when this song came out and he sat there with a sad dead expression on his face
Probably because it was a real song made in 1914.
WALN Zell thats literally why doinkhead
@@walnzell9328 this song was made in 1903 im pretty sure during the second boer war
loser face it was originally written for the spanish-american war, hence the “Uniforms so blue”, the brits just nabbed it for themselves
@@walnzell9328 written and published in 1897, popularized in 1898 for the Spanish-American War
Side by side they stick together
This song is depressing.
+Enclave Commander Then hear Polish "Krwią piszę list do Ciebie" - "With blood I write letter to you" made by Horytnica ;)
Did you decline order 66? Just curious
Not really it's more hope than sorrow
@@bl00dth1rsty9 it makes me miss being a kid I played this game so much growing up
Eyy Tony your comment made me come back and OH GOD THE NOSTALGIA
Finally I know what song they are singing at the end of Lawrence of Arabia
I can not get this song out my head >.

2020 actually
2021
Almost 2022 now
It’s been too many years since I’ve played this game. Good that I still enjoy the music 🖤
This recording was from 1901 at the turn of the century but the devs remastered the song, It also was popular during the World Wars
It's a really sad game though.
Great representation of WWI though
Da. is good song
this song warms my heart
Best game ever...
Goodbye DOLLY GRAY!!
I've been trying to find the singer of this song for a while now, thanks for sharing it! :D
Beautiful song
Sad song. Damn and humans haven’t changed one bit
Really is sad isn't it
@@Real_Mick3y6 war is the natural selection of man,tho it's sad it wont ever go away until one country above all succeeds,only then will we have peace
@@mediumtim2237 Yeah, but then, as always, people will probably try to revolt if it becomes tyrannical, which means more war
@@Real_Mick3y6 I know but,eventually conflict has to end...right?

Good for you
xXLord EagleXx noyou bad shild
Jackson zoller How can you OWN this game?you shouldn't say that you OWN it
you should say that you have a copy and this game...
Quentin Powers yes true but sayingt that is very time consuming, it's better to say i own the game. he doesn't mean he owns Signal games!
Rowan He probably is.
"I own this game"
I was all set to buy this game again and enjoy it all over on PC until I found out it uses GFWL and the keys aren't rebindable. What a shame.
I thought Signal Studios stopped using games for windows live
www.signalstudios.net/forums/#/discussion/291/toy-soldiers-patch-notes-for-1-1
I got it on Steam and didn't see hide nor tail of GFWL.
I KNOW IT AWESOME
The lack of a verse about Jody (yes I’m aware that exact term didn’t exist yet) makes this since all too innocent.
Favorite ❤️
Is that a Fortnite pfp, but almost r34?
Great song. Anyone know if there's a piano sheet for this song somewhere?
DOLLY GRAY!!!!
Solja boy tell em
Nice
I swear nobody in the comments section even knows who Harry Macdonough is
He died in 1931. Not a lot of people would know about him.
