New national anthem nomination thread.
Mods, feel free to move this to DC if necessary, but I view this as a patriotic topic and not a political topic.


With the 4th of July coming up, it's a good time to reflect upon our national anthem.

Our national anthem works. It glorifies a key moment that ensured American freedom from British rule. Everyone knows the lyrics, almost half of the population can passably sing it, and of course the last line works well to claim ownership of Arrowhead Stadium.

However, there have been some criticisms as well. Apparently the third verse has a slavery reference, even though no one ever sings the third verse. The high and low notes are hard for some people. And it's a war story, which apparently rankles some people.

The Star Spangled Banner has a long tradition in America, but it's not too long to consider a change. It became the national anthem in 1931, so there are still people alive from the pre-spangling days.

So should our anthem change, and if so, what new song would you suggest? Regardless of whether you want a change, give me your suggestions of the best song to replace it if such a thing happened. I'll then put up a poll.

I mean the people voting for America the Beautiful kind of have a point. At least that song is about America, not about a flag.



Also hey I'm gonna watch Rocky IV on the 4th, partly to see America kick Russian ass, but also to hear that fantastic Soviet anthem which kicks the shit out of ours in every way.

There's no easy way out. There's no short cut home.

I actually really like the “this land is your land this land is my land” from woody Guthrie. I think it’s actually pretty spot on for the times we live in and is good for moving forward from a planetary standpoint. Then again I’m selfish and want to go exploring new planets so world peace and communication as a planet United as one (because we don’t know what is out there) is kinda important

From kohl's bathroom to changing the anthem...I mortified but highly amused. This place wins the off-season every year...it's the chargers of the sport forums.
