Author Topic: Kill this Thread V: the 24 hour version! Rockhopper Lad Kills Threads Dead posted                           I really like "O Canada". It's much easier to sing than the "Star-Spangled Banner", which, of course, is sung to the tune of a German drinking song. -------------------- The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant." From: The Pyngwyn Colonies of Planet Hyustyn | Registered: Aug 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Outdoor Miner Vote for Gates! posted                       Every fourth of July, I like to open the windows at my place and crank Jimi Hendrix's version of the "Star Spangled Banner". -------------------- Legion World's Badwill Ambassador From: A Huge, Pulsating, Ever-Expanding Chicken Heart | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Ann Hebistand Applicant posted                       The first video shown on VH1 was Marvin Gaye -- with whom I share a birthday -- performing the "Star-Spangled Banner." Registered: Dec 2009  |  IP: Logged |  Rockhopper Lad Kills Threads Dead posted                           Garrison Keillor always makes a big deal about singing the "Star-Spangled Banner" in the key of G Major, which makes the high notes reachable by altos and basses. Of course, it also makes the low notes unreachable by many sopranos and tenors. You really can't win with that song. -------------------- The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant." From: The Pyngwyn Colonies of Planet Hyustyn | Registered: Aug 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Outdoor Miner Vote for Gates! posted                       True enough. I've long felt the US should just switch to Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land", a much better and easier to sing piece of music overall. -------------------- Legion World's Badwill Ambassador From: A Huge, Pulsating, Ever-Expanding Chicken Heart | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Lard Lad Re-empowered! posted                        I've long felt we should just make the old Batman TV show theme song the new Anthem. -------------------- "Suck it, depressos!"--M. Lash From: The Underbelly of Society | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Tamper Lad With the Scarlett Faction posted                        Only if they include Woody's verse about "Private Property". From: Canada | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Rockhopper Lad Kills Threads Dead posted                           "This Land" would work, though when I was a kid I disliked the part about "from California to the New York Islands" because I lived in Massachusetts. "American the Beautiful" would have been a far better choice than "The Star-Spangled Banner". I'm also very partial to "Life Ev'ry Voice and Sing", which is referred to as the African-American National Anthem. -------------------- The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant." From: The Pyngwyn Colonies of Planet Hyustyn | Registered: Aug 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Outdoor Miner Vote for Gates! posted                       "America the Beautiful" is a good one. For that matter, I'm also fond of Chuck Berry's "Livin' In The USA". -------------------- Legion World's Badwill Ambassador From: A Huge, Pulsating, Ever-Expanding Chicken Heart | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Rockhopper Lad Kills Threads Dead posted                           There are a few others that come up. "My Country 'Tis of Thee", of course, would be troublesome because it uses the same tune as "God Save the Queen". "National Hymn" ("God of Our Fathers") is too overtly religious to be a song for all people, though the tune is very catchy. "God Bless America" is, well, a little cheesy. If I had to pick, I think I'd still go with "America the Beautiful". -------------------- The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on flickr. Drop by and tell me that I sent you. From: Vanity, OR | Registered: Dec 2008  |  IP: Logged |  Fat Cramer Rich and flaky posted                        The "Stars and Stripes Forever" with "Be kind to your web-footed friends" as the lyrics - lively, with a positive message. I could never think up a good Canadian national anthem. O Canada is a snoozer. -------------------- Holy Cats of Egypt! From: Café Cramer | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Rockhopper Lad Kills Threads Dead posted                           Of course, if we're talking national anthems, "La Marseillaise" may be my very favorite. That's a lot of fun to sing! -------------------- The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

From: Canada | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged |  cleome46 or you can do the confusion 'til your head falls off posted                        We should just split the difference and sing our own national anthem in French. Not that my French is so great (I think "B+" was my peak in that regard), but think of the scandal it would cause with the punditocracy! -------------------- Hey, Kids!
