am I alone in this?

I really like hearing the multitude of performers sing the star spangle banner. I am prone to stand attention. Make me proud I do the dirty shit you people complain about, but take for granted none the less.

I like to hear it anytime.

What I can't stand, though, is when a singer tries to 'soul-ify' it, al a Whitney Houston or some other R&B artist, when it should be sung PROUDLY. It's an ANTHEM, not a song to be interpreted however one sees fit.

 

I would not stand for my national anthem as it is God save the Queen, (not the Pistols) and the Queen is a bore. Besides which I don`t feel I need to get dew eyed to love my country. I love it without the need for standing upright with a proud stern look on my face.
