George M. Cohan sings Arthur Fields’ popular World War 1 song, “Over There.” A glimpse into the mood of America in 1917, the lyrics reflect the purposeful determination about going to war, before you’re there, when the idea of war is not yet disturbed by the realities of it. This song helped motivate a lot of boys and men to go “Over There” and they did, boy. Yes they did.
