The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Fifth Sunday of Easter
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, "Amazing Grace" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I admit that "Amazing Grace" is hardly "Amazing Grace" without John Newton's profoundly moving words (really, sans lyrics it is William Walker's "New Britain"), but "Amazing Grace" is the title by which the melody of "New Britain" is now almost universally known, so "Amazing Grace" is it! How many more times do you reckon I can type "Amazing Grace" before wearying of the gag? "Amazing Grace."
