This is how the song should sound. I hate when people go overboard with it.

And Bob Costas what a bitch.

Great Website.

isn't this song, like, the opposite of the Star Spangled Banner? Just sayin.

P.S. Tom Morello is a guitar god.

Here is the entire poem entitled "The Defense of Fort McHenry."

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O! say does that...

I doubt the original score still exists, but we could logically reason that the way it was sung up until the urban craze took over would be close. I don't think F.S. Key wrote in any warbles (sp?)

A blast from the past (1991)with another selection for the wierdos that might prefer some Sousa over a re-written English drinking song.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock yet.

It was awesome to watch the video and see all the hippies standing there with their mouths wide open.

Plus, when was the last time the Star-Spangled Banner transitioned into Purple Haze?

Didn't Kate Smith do that after singing "God Bless America" before...

Okay, Dr. Karl Hass, musicologist, how exactly "was it written?"

Talk about a "Germans" moment... Key wrote the words, not the music.

That's the 2nd most un-American thing I've ever read. Why do you hate America? The Star Spangled Banner is a pretty shitty national anthem. "America the Beautiful" is my preference.
