Tomorrow Belongs to Me

"Tomorrow Belongs to Me" (known in German as Der Morgige Tag ist Mein) is a "chilling anthem", written for the 1966 musical The song has subsequently gone through various adaptations.

Origins
The song was written by two Jews, John Kander and Fred Ebb. John Kander was also gay, and Fred Ebb was also allegedly gay; this hasn't stopped antisemitic rock bands such as Skrewdriver, Saga, and Prussian Blue from performing it at their rallies, as it is often confused for a genuine Nazi anthem. Expert on all things Nazi, Stormfront, claims: "The German folk song 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' that predates the Nazi era was adapted and slightly altered for [Cabaret]", and "a rabbinical person" wrote to one of the songwriters "saying he had absolute proof it was a Nazi song" (proof of a Zionist conspiracy engulfing Stormfront bit-by-bit). However, no evidence seems to have emerged for those claims.

Modern usage
It has been used for political purposes in Britain, in the form of reductio ad Hitlerum by political opponents or satirists: Satirical puppet show satirised the re-election of Margaret Thatcher with this song (which apparently even some Conservatives found funny), and Nigel Nelson mocked the Reich Chancellor George Osborne's budget proposals, by saying: "For one horrifying moment I thought the Chancellor might whip off his suit to reveal lederhosen and a German boy scout uniform and break into a chorus of 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me.'"

It has also found the bizarre usage as an unofficial student anthem of the Computer Science of Copenhagen University in an adapted version including much student humor and computer-slang.

It is also sung by a young German Nazi scout in the first episode of the third season of The Man in the High Castle, a dystopic TV show produced by Amazon Video that narrates a parallel reality where the Nazi and the Japanese empires win World War II.

The song has often been mistakenly linked to the Quebec's sovereigntist movement. There is a Demain nous appartient ("Tomorrow belong to us") song often heard at sovereigntist rallies, but it has nothing to do with the Cabaret song as its author explained.
