Most of us are unfamiliar with the words of the song "Hail to the Chief," but chances are, we all know the melody when we hear it. For more than a hundred years, this song has been played to introduce the President of the United States at ceremonies and other formal gatherings. And yet, despite its traditional use, the song didn't originate in America. Instead, it is widely believed that the melody of the song was borrowed from an English musical play entitled "The Lady of the Lake," which itself was adapted from a poem by Sir Walter Scott, a Scottish writer. The play was staged in America in the first part of the 19th Century, and soon after, the song "Hail to the Chief," which bore a melodic resemblance to the music of the play, was used to honor none other than George Washington. From there, it was used at several presidential inaugurations, and during the term of Harry Truman, it was designated the official tribute to the President.
