isnt it the same tune as "god save the queen?"The Americanized tune is "My Country tis of Thee" So, they really were playing the National Anthem
An amusing bit of trivia: The tune to "The Star Spangled Banner" was taken from a British drinking song called "The Halls of Anacreon".
Which makes a lot of sense, actually; you almost have to be drunk to try to hit that high note towards the end.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
