from BBC news today"Kidron enlisted the vocals and instruments of dozens of Latino musicians, including the hip-hop star Pitbull and the singer Carlos Ponce, to turn the theme song of the American soul [the National Anthem] into something which everyone from south of the Rio Grande can sing - especially if their patriotic fervour isn't matched by

I could understand all of this if English was the offical language of the US, but it isn't, so we really can't do anything about it.

IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

I always loved the line from "Angels in America" that said "That cracker who wrote the Star-Spangeled Banner set the word free on a note so high nobody can reach it."

Oh Anna, my Delta Gamma, she's got legs like a baby grand pianuh."

Try the original lyrics to that old English drinking song (yes, our national anthem was set to bar music), which involves this little stanza:
"The Yellow-Haired God and his nine lusty Maids,
From Helion's banks will incontinent flee,
Idalia will boast but of tenantless Shades,
And the bi-forked hill a mere desert will be.
My Thunder no fear on't,
Shall soon do it's errand,
And damme I'll swing the Ringleaders I warrant,
I'll trim the young dogs, for thus daring to twine,
The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine."

O CANADA WE STAND ON GUARD FOR BEER

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

And I thought Canada's national anthem was "Blame Canada" !!?
