The melody of "the Star Spangled Banner" (composed by John Stafford Smith) is taken from the English drinking song "to Anacreon in Heaven."

"My County Tis Of Thee"'s melody is nakedly lifted from "God Save the Queen," the national anthem of the British Monarchy.
The graduation music played at high school and university graduations is known as "Pomp and Circumstance / Land of Hope and Glory," composed by Englishman Edward Elgar.
So it's nothing new in American history.
