It was like listening to long fingernails sctratching a blackboard and why did Jerome Bettis sing the second half of the anthem dressed up like a woman. [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

Re: National Anthem Rant

I listened to about 10 seconds of the anthem and changed the channel. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Just sing the song and stop with the "I have to make it mine!!!". [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: National Anthem Rant

I was just impressed that they were able to sign the Michelin Man to sing with him- who knew that guy could sing so well?

Re: National Anthem Rant

Yes, that shit last night was awful.

Best version I ever heard - Boys to Men on MTV before a basketball game or something. No shit. It was amazing, I actually got teary eyed it was so good. But they did NOT fuck up the main melody of the song.

Re: National Anthem Rant

The best I've ever heard the anthem was when LeAnn Rimes did it.

"Jose, can you see?" If I get busted on this, it's OK. But this is a very old joke. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: National Anthem Rant

The National Anthem does NOT NEED YOUR FUKIN TAKE ON IT. Thank you now sit down. I LOVE our National Anthem, sung or played correctly it sends chills down my spine every time. I love it. I HATE when some R&B dillhole thinks they can do a better job then Mr.Francis Scott Key. (Well the words anyway)John Stafford Smith (Music)

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Sing the song the way it was written.
It's not some tune of the moment by some one-hit-wonder, it's our national anthem... people need to show some fucking repsect.
