If you enjoy Steyn's Song of the Week at SteynOnline and on Serenade Radio, please note that there will be a live stage edition during the 2026 Mark Steyn Cruise - along with many other favourite features from SteynOnline and The Mark Steyn Show. More details here.
~If you missed Mark's Song of the Week earlier today on Serenade Radio, here's a chance to hear it at SteynOnline. In this episode, Mark discusses a song two centuries old - at least in its best known form. But, for aficionados of the US Civil War, Irish republicanism, global Marxism, the beauty of Lake Superior and the particular pleasures of a German carpenter's apprentice, Steyn also takes in those manifestations - with help from Aretha Franklin, Nat King Cole and Taylor Swift.
