  • The Vicar of Bray ("Il vicario di Bray") è una canzone popolare inglese datata al XVIII secolo. Essa si presenta come una canzone satirica che ripercorre la carriera del fantomatico vicario di Bray e narra del suo continuo cambio di bandiera per mantenere saldamente la propria posizione malgrado i continui cambi di religione tra Seicento e Settecento nei monarchi inglesi.
