It always pisses me off when singers try to change the National Anthem. It's the fucking National Anthem, not a fucking pop song that they can rewrite and **** all over as they please!

Someone should of told Steven Tyler that.
 
No one is going to put the vote up for Roseanne???

Haters! What are you all? Afraid of a self-empowered woman???

:mad:
 
Not the national anthem but Ray Charles' version of America, The Beautiful always fills me up with national pride and almost brings a tear to my eye. And I'm not even American.

Interesting how this is most (in)famous version of our national anthem btw:

Because apparently self-empowerment comes in Ben & Jerry ice cream containers!

Oh snap! :tongue:

You mean like Jimi Hendrix did?


I think Jimi's version is the best,because it has what the National Anthem should have,and it embodies what America should be:

It's loud,it's proud,and it's defiant.
 
ok so hendrix who could really play the guiter well while fucked up on acid played a version of the song in his style in 69.
to me it was very over-rated, kinda cool though.

Here's a clip from when Carl Lewis tried to sing the National Anthem. It cuts to the good part after his improvisational start. This is a lesson in karma - bad things happen when you fuck around with the anthem. Just sing it how it's written, douche. Charlie Steiner once quipped that this version "must have been written by Francis Scott Off-Key."
