Is there a point to this section? The song is so well known that I really doubt this adds anything of real import. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.39.159.36 ( talk) 19:20, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
(Next contrib reformated in 2009:)
Tune right?? How close is this??

The next contrib was originally place above the 2004 one in this section, in the lead section of this talk page. I have moved & reformatted it, in 2009, into proper WP talk order. On reflection, i have left it un-indented, and separated by a HR on the logic that it is not a comment on the 2004 contrib above, bcz its only plausible affinities to the other are:

Wrong image
The image of the sheet music is not correct as it displays an entirely different tune in D major (not F major as below).

"It was Julia Tyler, wife of Polk's predecessor, John Tyler, who suggested that the song be played when a president made an appearance." The revised, authoritative new statement sounds as if it's based on some remark, perhaps in a letter. Has this suggestion been made in print? -- Wetman 03:43, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
According to [1], the anthem was composed in 1917 and formerly called "Hail America", then renamed to "Hail to the Chief" by the Eisenhower Administration in 1952. Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? -- Ahellwig 20:56, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
I read once that the reason "Hail to the Chief" is played is because one of the Presidents was quite diminutive and was often unnoticed upon entering a room. Having a song played announcing his arrival then, he would always be noticed and the tradition stuck. Can anyone validate this story? Should it be included? 198.166.16.171 04:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
The link to "DOD instruction NO. 1005.1" is dead, and I was unable to locate a new page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.183.15.122 ( talk) 22:45, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Is there an anthem of the Vice President of the United States? If so, you need to add mention, and a link to any article thereon.
This article seems relevant: " Hail, Columbia."

The article says that verses from Scott's poem "were set to music around 1812", but then it says that around November 1810 "Scott received a letter from a friend and army officer who ended his note with a copy of the music of the Boat Song, 'Hail to the Chief'." If it's the same tune, one of these dates is wrong. If it's not the same tune, this should be somehow clarified. Bret Sterling ( talk) 18:32, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
