The National Anthem -scooby doo wah-
Some NFL fans still give Chiefs fans grief for shouting CHIEFS at the end of the anthem.
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? http://www.gurl.com/2012/07/02/worst...tional-anthem/ |

If enough people sang Immigrant Song during the Star-Spangled Banner, they might eventually make the change.

While I don't care for melisma either, I tend to be more bothered by singers that take the tempo way too slow. It's not a ballad, and it's not a funeral dirge.

I think the dude in your avatar would not like to be associated with you.

You know what really infuriates me? It makes me nearly homocidal to hear people referring to freelance scooby dooing as "melisma". I suspect that this is a nearly universal sentiment.

Is that because it was discovered by Melisma Etheridge or something?

This is how it's done - run onto the field, sing the shortest version in Super Bowl history, and run off!

I always look at it as a remake, every musician puts his own flavor on remakes. It doesn't offend me.
