33 Over There

There is a revealing difference between the title of FX’s new war drama set in Iraq, Over There, and “Over There,” George M. Cohan’s celebrated tune, written and performed just months after America’s enthusiastic entry into World War I. Cohan’s “over there” is a tidy problem of a place to which we’re looking forward to sending American troops in order to clear things up. The atmosphere that is waiting for us over there is characterized by freedom-starved Europeans “calling, you and me, every son of liberty,” and wicked Germans:

Johnnie, get your gun

Get your gun, get your gun

Johnnie show the Hun

Who’s a son of a gun.
