I am genuinely surprised that you haven't heard of Flower of Scotland given that it is the national anthem of Scotland. That has made me wonder about the process is by which people become aware of things like national anthems. I was taught Flower of Scotland by friend of mine who was a hockey international whilst we were on the Sixth Form school trip. I presume it's taught in schools. So I'm not sure I ought to be surprised.
On reflection perhaps less surprised about American Tune. Despite it being one of my favourite Paul Simon songs it is perhaps not one of his top ten most famous tunes.
And I realise that I've not explained the Famine Song, which is a football song that riffs on the Sloop John B by, inter alia, the Kingston Trio and the Beach Boys. My guess is that if you've heard of the Beach Boys then you've heard Sloop John B but I've given you no opportunity in the current post to connect the Famine Song with Sloop John B.
(I do not recommend finding out more about the Famine Song - it is odious, particularly if one has any affection for Sloop John B. I dislike that fact that I am so prone to being earwormed by it.)
