More Information Than You Require about the Anthem “Hail to the Chief”

It’s Wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt. However, I did enjoy this:

In the film My Fellow Americans, two ex-Presidents played by Jack Lemmon and James Garner discuss their annoyance at hearing the song played wherever they would go. Humorously, they both admit they made up their own lyrics in their head (“Hail to the chief, he’s the chief and he needs hailing, he is the chief so everybody hail like crazy.” or “Hail to the Chief if you don’t I’ll have to kill you, I am the chief so you had better watch your step, you bastards”)
