So Pat Boone wrote "This Land Is Mine" for the 1960 film Exodus. And given the structure of his career and careful management of his brand, I have to wonder if that was an answer song to Woody Guthrie's 1940 "This Land Is Your Land".
(Which appears to have been an answer song to Irving Berlin's 1918, rehashed in 1939, "God Bless America".)
