The National Anthem -scooby doo wah- (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=276036)

I don't like that up and down stuff on any song, whether it's a star-spangled one or not. I always kind of figure it's because the person's not a good enough singer to hold a note.

I like the Home of the Chiefs thing, though I can understand why it bothers some people. To me, the "Home of the Chiefs" is the perfect transition from the national anthem to the football game. Plus, if you have a big, enthusiastic crowd doing it, it's got to make opposing rookies think twice.

Any Banles song would be more appropriate than the National Anthem

Well, yeah...I love the Banles!

Personally I think every football game should begin with Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," but that's just me.

Your poll is confusing.

Are that many people really voting against "home of the Chiefs?"

I'm talking about freestyling the anthem. Not about yelling "Chiefs." I'm actually OK with that. I'm not OK with scooby-ing up the anthem itself. I hate that.

This is a movement I can get behind.

Personally, that doesn't bother me, because I know it's not meant as a disrespect to veterans or to the country. It's paying tribute to Arrowhead, the team, and the Chiefs fans themselves. The Chiefs even have a commercial out with Ed Asner voicing over about how moving the anthem is at Arrowhead.

What I hate is when singers "scooby doo" up the anthem, by scat singing, or woo woo wooing the lyrics. I like it when they sing the song as it was intended. If their voice is good, the song is dynamic enough where you don't have to scooby it all up.

What do you think?

Does the scooby version bug you, or are you fine with that?

The word you're looking for is "melisma."

I don't really care for the way Robert Plant freestyles on Immigrant Song. /gblowfish's grandpa

I hate the singer carrying the ends of certain words out. Just sing the damn song. But if I am at Arrowhead or in ANY Living Room watching the game I will say "CHIEFS" at the end of the anthem. Someone that doesn't like it can get over it.

Heh, maybe we should just make the Immigrant Song the National Anthem.
That would solve all the problems.
