star spangled banner

Quite simply, it's the national anthem of the United States of America. It was written by Francis Scott Key during the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812 (in Canada it's called "The Anglo-American War" or simply the "American War"). The melody was taken from a British pub song and new lyrics were added. The song is EXTREMELY difficult to sing, and even though many famous people have sung it at sporting events, VERY few have ever got it right.

I was watching the 2004 Summer Olympics on TV. They were being broadcast (taped) from Greece. The U.S. womens soccer team had won the Gold medal in the game finals. When they received their medals in a ceremony most of them joined in a vocal rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. It was the most wretched, lousy and downright godawful version of that anthem I ever heard in my life, and I've heard plenty of bad versions. This was the famous 15 minutes for the ladies, since the networks, the press (and the general public pretty much too) don't really give a rat's ass about womens sports, let alone soccer as much as they do about football, baseball and basketball - especially as played by men. A moment of national pride for the U.S.A., forgotten in a flash. And so it goes.

the modern star spangled banner

Oh say can you fucking see
The missiles fall like rain
Bloody mountains majesty
Dead bodies on the plain
By the bombing's eerie light
See the crimsons waves of red
What so proudly they all fell
The twilight of the dead

Star Spangled Banner

When you are having sex with a girl when she has a blue waffle, is on her period, and then you proceed to ejaculate inside of her, thus resulting in the colors red, white, and blue.

Star Spangled Banner- The result of ejaculating in a woman with a blue waffle, while she is on her period.

Star Spangled Banner

The national anthem of Christina Agulera, which she cannot sing. Why? She forgot a whole line at THE SUPER BOWL! LOLOL.

I don't know what was worse: Forgetting your own country's national anthem, or Justin Bieber running into a revolving door.

See Star Spangled Banner fail for more

A Triple Jump Through a Hoop Whilst Whistling the Star Spangled Banner

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

They left the Earth just prior to its destruction, but left humanity one last message, a triple jump through a hoop whilst whistling the Star Spangled Banner, which, when translated, read, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.

When you have 50 dingleberries stuck in your asshole hair and you bend over and spread it wide in front of a fan to dry out.
