Aleynu -- and the Bismark



Just for a change of pace -------

Someone told me that the upbeat melody that some congregations use in
the middle of the Aleynu (Sh'hu noteh sh'mayim...) was actually borrowed
from the World War I song "We're Going to Sink the Bismark". Can anyone
confirm this, or conversely lay the rumor to rest. And if true, where
can one find a copy of the Bismark song?

Thanks,
Stefan Bloomfield
