I think you played the song very well. For the record, I am an American but not of British descent. At the time the song was adopted... the majority of America was British.

[sinistar426]

dont forget..an american may have chose a british song for their anthem..but then again..it was an american country that kept the british from becoming ruled by Germany...small price to pay

[nom1nom]

you did not save us from being ruled By germany :)

[SgtShwat]

True, you were holding your own in the battle for Britain, but the war might have changed its course completely had America not entered. That isn't a statement born of pride, but a fact.

[nom1nom]

Your right - thank you america for the 2 mil meat sheild ;)

[darkarts59]

yeah the yanks joined in at the end of the war after the battle of el Alemain.

I do find it ironic that The Americans chose a British song as the anthem, seeing as the lyrics are about The British bombing them in 1812, but, the lyrics go with the song and America had only been established for around 38 years, so there was still a strong link between the two Nations. The chances are his parents were British, seeing as he was 35 at the time. If The American People accept it as a valid anthem, let them have it. We all take inspiration from many things ...

The americans coudnt do that right could they lol

[Onirayushizobura]

So, your saying, that if somebody is an American, they automatically do not have the ability to do that correctly?

[danielwills93]

If you read the 'about this video' i was saying that the Americans used a song called the Anacreontic song wriiten by John stafford smith rather than writing a anthem themselves.

So what im trying to say is that the Americans couldnt even write there own anthem.

[Onirayushizobura]

I did read the description, your comment was so explicit that I didn't quite know what it meant.

And yeah, that is America, we aren't too creative, even our own government was based off of another one.

[danielwills93]

Well at least you can see that. i'll give you that.
