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."
