Let's say Key slipped and fell overboard, or was mugged and killed before he finished his poem.
The music for the SSB is based off a British composer's work. It's not in 4/4 or 2/2 time, so you can't easily march to it, and it is exceptionally difficult to sing well. What should our national anthem be? I nominate the Stars and Stripes Forever: SOUSA The Stars and Stripes Forever - "The President's Own" U.S. Marine Band Lyrics: Let martial note in triumph float And liberty extend its mighty hand A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers, The banner of the Western land. The emblem of the brave and true Its folds protect no tyrant crew; The red and white and starry blue Is freedom's shield and hope. Let eagle shriek from lofty peak The never-ending watchword of our land; Let summer breeze waft through the trees The echo of the chorus grand. Sing out for liberty and light, Sing out for freedom and the right. Sing out for Union and its might, O patriotic sons. Second strain Other nations may deem their flags the best And cheer them with fervid elation But the flag of the North and South and West Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation. Trio Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever, The gem of the land and the sea, The banner of the right. Let despots remember the day When our fathers with mighty endeavor Proclaimed as they marched to the fray That by their might and by their right It waves forever. Grandioso Hurrah for the flag of the free. May it wave as our standard forever The gem of the land and the sea, The banner of the right. Let despots remember the day When our fathers with mighty endeavor Proclaimed as they marched to the fray, That by their might and by their right It waves forever. |

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army [The Glitch Mob Remix] Video |FURY I'm gonna fight 'em all A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talking to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message coming from my eyes Says leave it alone Don't want to hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do And the feeling coming from my bones Says find a home I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera for evermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding Right before the lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will sing no more And the stains coming from my blood Tell me go back home |

Columbia Gem of the Ocean ETA although, Yakety Sax does seem somewhat appropriate. Maybe that should be the honors music for Congressmen. |

View Quote The music from the SSB started out as a beer drinking song, IIRC edit: yup "Ironically, the melody Key assigned to accompany the lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner” was a popular English drinking song called “To Anacreon in Heaven.” https://www.history.com/topics/19th-century/the-star-spangled-banner |

It would have to be America, Fuck Yeah.
No bullshit. When the tempo slows down towards the end, tell me it doesn't tug at the old heart strings. Add a poll. I'll bet you America, Fuck Yeah wins biggly. |

Make it In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida or Karn Evil 9.
And make them play the whole thing at the start of every ball game and every time an American places in the Olympics. |
