It does seem odd that she professed to have been so proud to be asked to sing the National Anthem since it was a song she'd proudly sung since she was 7yrs old .... and then blow the lines to it. Somethin about that just dudn quite jive confused smiley

No excuses for her flub but it is a rather dorky-ass song. But hey, it's OUR dorky-ass song! I like America The Beautiful a lot better and think that should be our anthem.

Words aside it's supposed to be one of the most difficult songs to sing even for professionals. Everyone should be proud of their National Anthem, even if Roseanne is butchering it (that beats them all).

Whether you might like to hear my rendition of it or not, I at least know the damned words to it rock

Having sung many difficult pieces .... in another life time .... I would not begin to claim the National Anthem is a difficult piece of music winking

I clearly was addressing F_D out of fun. I can sing it too and I do know the words. I can also sing the Spongebob Squarepants theme, does that count? I think what's-her-tits is an overrated slut anyway and it obviously wasn't meant in defense of her at all. Lots of people think the Star Spangled Banner is a crappy song and I think so too and I'm entitled to an opinion. At least I didn't spooge some Black Eyed Piss on F_D's hard drive when he wasn't lookin' did I? smiling
smiley I'm sure F_D could muster up a better rendition than the overpaid biatch did anyway. smileys with beer

i must retract my blaming of Kim, i checked my records and now realize that it was my own fault.
one of my hobbies is replacing lyrics with my own, but rarely inflict them on others. grinning smiley

Once again, a great case for a sarcasm font.

Though there's plenty of stuff I could sing, since my balls dropped and took my voice 2 or 3 octaves with 'em, nobody wants to hear it, so ... With music, seems like those that can, do, and some of us are just left to appreciate and collect it instead.

Though I think I know lotsa people, I'll hafta say you're the 1st I ever heard say the Star Spangled Banner was a crappy song blah, but you're right, you can own that.

For myself, I guess I've never pondered the melodic merits of it. Bein the national anthem of my country makes it kinda moot. Hell, I can even get bleary eyed watchin other people sing THEIR national anthem .. so long as it ain't Mescans doin it ... in Texas hot smiley

I'd bet fossil could make a good run at it alright, but I think it might come off soundin more like "Froggy Went A Courtin" grinning smiley

Most National Anthems sound best when sung by a crowd. And mostly that's at sporting events. USA is a great one, Italy's is awesome but obviously I think Australia's is the best.
By the way, is it "the American National Anthem" or is it "the national anthem of the USA"?

Maybe crappy was a bit harsh. It's just not my favorite patriotic song and I think there are better. there has been at least one effort in history to replace it with America The Beautiful as out national anthem.

It's been my understanding that the tune was borrowed from an English drinking song.

my voice is way too deep to sing the anthem and it is NOT a song open to "artistic interpretation", sing it right or sing along with someone doing it right

Yes it was Quasi. The poem was set to a British drinking song that was popular in America at the time.

I agree Fossil. I hate it when they do that vocal acrobatics shit.

'berto, the title is actually "The Star Spangled Banner" though it's generically referred to as just the national anthem winking

Our National Anthem was revised a few years back to make it more PC.
The opening line,
Australia's sons let us rejoice...
Was changed to,
Australians all let us rejoice...
Some feminist bitch is laughing herself to sleep every night after pulling that one off.

Sounds kinda like the coup the religious folks pulled off here back in the 50s by having added ", under god" to the line in our United States Pledge Of Allegiance that had previously simply said "One nation". The version we had used for over 150 yrs. just didn say enough for the holier than thou crowd. angry

While I don't give 2 shits when churches have signs all over town tellin me I'm "Lost if I don't accept salvation" or "Doomed to burning for eternity" if I don't accept faith in their god/savior/what-the-fuck-ever, that shit just rolls off like water on a ducks back. But, when they feel a need to interject their shit in our Pledge Of Allegiance, that's just straight up horse-shit hot smiley
