[DonFranklinJr]

The one person who dislikes this must be Carl Lewis

[bballgmr]

@DonFranklinJr LMAO

[EmoneyCT313]

Daryl Coley sang this!!!

[PutOnAShowKindOfBoy]

Christina, is this you?????

[ke4tud]

thats correct

[tramlaw301]

Greatest national anthem performance EVER!!!!

[bradchaz]

I LOVED this clip from "The Simpsons"--a spoof of how singers "mangle" the Star Spangled Banner. I wish the video clip was included--I loved the crowd scenes kept showing everyone getting more tired (except Lisa), and the digital clock at the end of the clip showed "7:59" (after starting at 7:30)--a 29-minute "rendition" of the SSB. LOL!!

[Mikeswife95]

@bradchaz IMBD has the clip: The Simpsons Clip (Bleeding Gums' Star Spangled Banner)

[intheTea04]

One of the best Simpsons moments ever. Amazing!

[Quexumplexul1]

[missmiasmiley]

How did bleeding gums murphy die and how old was he?????

[ke4tud]

@missmiasmiley Bleeding Gums Murphy was voiced by Ron Taylor, He died in 2002 of a heart attach at the age of 49.

[memdiva]

@ke4tud Daryl Coley did bleeding gums murphy's singing

[michele6691]

I think this is by far the best rendition of the National Anthem!

[mia1shooter]

Awesome voice, i wish he could sing this at a NFL game!

[memdiva]

It's too bad the actually video isn't up! If you notice, while everyone is drooping & getting tired (especially Marge's bouffant) Lisa is still standing tall, proud & erect w/ a big ol' smile on her face totally enthralled by Bleeding Gum's long-winded performance! Ha! I CRACK UP every time!

[pecanchocolatedeluxe]

that was one of the funniest simpsons scenes ever! i wish someone had the video clip and even tho it was to show how r&b artists exaggerate and extend the anthem, it sounded soo good! LOL

[MpsAREthieves]

i'd also like to add, he was taking the piss when singing the song, but it actually quite good. Who agrees?

[MpsAREthieves]

[iamsupamega]

[danimaj78]

@iamsupamega

one of the best tenors in gospel music. . . . .love him!

[cellardoor199991]

" I'm asking!" LOL. Stereotypical of R&B singers. Everybody is tired when it's over.LOL

[Isthisthelongestname]

@cellardoor199991

LOL sooooo fcking funny haha! Makes me laugh just thinking about it haha - the clock in the background is going around and around :D

Thanks for this mate!

[zcrunch]

Love this version!!! Somebody's GOT to be able to download the video for it!!! AWSOME!!!

[Jenai92]

This is probably one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons. Simply hilarious!! Bleeding Gums tore this anthem up! lmao

[TheLovelylove]

BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ON HERE FOR 2 FUCKIN' YEARS MAN!!! Thank you,thank you,thank you,this has been my most fav version of the national anthem since I was a child.

[kach00]

@TheLovelylove

you welcome, and you´re right, this is by far the best version of your national anthem, even though he is dead, Long Live to Bleeding Gums Murphy, saludos!

[TheLovelylove]

@kach00 OMG,did he die on the show or something?! I didn't know that!

[Isthisthelongestname]

@TheLovelylove

Haha - It is awesome, I too have wanted to listen to it for ages!

[celt67]

It's Christina Aguilera. 

[tbroberson24]

who was the singer??? i cant stop laughing, cause who ever sang this version did one heck on a job!!!!!!

[JOEBLACK36]

@tbroberson24 Gospel legend Daryl Coley

[buckcute]

Ditto--he did a much better job than Aguilera. This is what I was thinking of while Aguilera was botching it at the Superbowl. I was also thinking of the video that accompanied this, with Lisa's eyelids getting very heavy.

[thedarkpanther]

@buckcute you're right, if they think its funny without the video, they gotta see it with the visual.

[zcrunch]

Everybod BUT Lisa's eyes were getting heavy! And the Anthem took like 43 minutes according to a clock somewhere in the stadium.

[harriettewinslow]

@zcrunch It was actually 26 minutes. The clock was behind Bleeding Gums Murphy and he began singing at 7:30 pm to 7:56 pm.

[AyeOkNowFuckOff]

this is better than the superbowl one hahahah.

[Kimmica20]

This always cracks me up. I was thinking about this yesterday as well as Carl Lewis' version. lol

[cucumberboy1]

wish he could have sang last nights anthem!

[shamrockgirl804]

Best national anthem ever!!!

[kach00]

thank you all for vote and comment! Saludos de Tijuana

[Tiznonay]

Hahaha, yeah, that awful Aguilera debacle got me thinkin about this. Glad someone had this clip on here. Funny stuff

[stillphil]

Thank You Daryl Coley !

[tavitari]

My favourite interpretation of the national anthem by far, I LOVE IT! It cracks me up every time since I was a little girl... I think I'm gonna watch this episode right now.

[Bannerman242]

I was thinking of this while "The He/She Thing" was singing the national anthem! I would have rather heard this version last night than her butchering such a patriotic anthem!

[italy4blktop]

ha ha...i was just reviewing this to remind my self of last nights horrible version of this song....BGM's version is actually better than CA's version by far

[DyerMedia]

Christina Aguilara did this last night at the SB...
