Star Spangled Banner

[kyleblue44]

My dog got pissed from hearing this.

[crallen33]

Does he realize that there are lyrics?

[underlinedbluetext]

The ending really spoke to me.

[imnothear]

nailed it!

[biiiiirdman]

I LOVE YOU SHAAAAANE!!

[gratefultobehere]

Jimi Hendrix is going to punch you in the face someday

[hardstyleking200]

is that a dog or your mouth sqeeling for help

[zbeck68]

sounds like a dieing cat....

[Absolut187]

I like you.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

It sounds like someone is kicking a walrus.

[ZeroHusky]

Um. I honestly don't know what to say. Yay? Nay? Probably the latter. Yes. Freedom of speech is great and all... but some people should exercise the 5th amendment. Seriously attempting a patriotic song and butchering it feels more like an insult than an actual praise to the US. Sorry. I didn't like it. Freedom of speech allows me to write this comment. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

[BeforeTheRestmn]

Are you on something... like.. all the time..???

Wow.. umm brutally fail.

Your freaking retarded.

[MugshotRenfro]

I didn't realize Jimi Hendrix played a dog.

[bimbimsalabim1]

@MugshotRenfro hahahahahah

[TheDjsubterrain]

@MugshotRenfro HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[cruise03]

twisting his mouth like that helps him get his patriotic point across. I would have had no idea it was a guitar.

[MoPPsychotik]

i now am a patriot

[stumbleine0010]

this is the best version of the star spangled banner i've ever heard. BRAVO.

[321snoot]

Mocking your country?!? YOUR country's constitution gives Shane the absolute right to do exactly this. It's called artistic license or, if you'd prefer, freedom of speech. So lighten up and remove that stick from your ass.

[shane12lee]

@321snoot Thanks, that's the whole point.

[spencerstephens12]

Please stop mocking my country. Personally, I think the Star Spangled Banner is a song that you shouldn't be messing with, even for humor's sake.

[shane12lee]

@spencerstephens12 I asm not mocking anything, ands it's my countr6y too, I have tyhe right to attempt to impersonate a guitar using mmy natuiral voice,.

[bryanchud2000]

I'm an American living overseas, and can i just say that hearing this really makes me miss the good ol' US of A. Thanks Shane for all you do.

[shane12lee]

@bryanchud2000 Thanks bro,. Just trying to remember our freedoms.

[ggordonpalmer]

LOVE IT IT WAS VERY GOOD

[radcorenews]

this was astounding... just astounding

[shane12lee]

@radcorenews Thanks, it was done in fun.

[Jillisha]

Shane, there are a few things your are doing here with your voice that could really damage your vocal chords if you keep doing it...

[shane12lee]

@Jillisha thanks for the concern,, but my voicxe is doing good.

[xxilovedramaxx]

@Jillisha could damange? already did damange

[manostar5]

dude seriously it sounded like you were making fun of the song im not trying to bre mean just trying to help

[shane12lee]

@manostar5 No I am trying to sound like A GUITAR,.

[Jboobtime99]

lovee the guitar noises you are able to make with your mouth. how did u do that? any tips? i dont sound good when i do this

[shane12lee]

@Jboobtime99 Just belie bve i n your ability to match the sound, and try to think of a simlar sound like a cat, or dog.

[auntfefe]

i like this version better. i call it the "cat remix"

[shane12lee]

@auntfefe Most Guitars sound like cats.

[camo673]

@shane12lee no the dont

[shane12lee]

@camo673 Say What?

[camo673]

@shane12lee guitars dont sound like cats

[shane12lee]

@camo673 If yiu are doing it as an impersonation, it can.

[MyExTreMeRoMaNcE]

@camo673 lol he is so smart

[camo673]

@shane12lee no it cant

[shane12lee]

@camo673 Have you ever heard a cat, and a guitar they sound remarkably simiar to a point.

[auntfefe]

@shane12lee dude i was being serious, take the compliment. sheesh

[shane12lee]

@auntfefe O.k> thanks.

[SteveTheUnicorn]

its sounds like a dog and a cat are having butt sex while getting put to sleep

[shane12lee]

@SteveTheUnicorn That sounds like you have than music.

[neez666]

[shane12lee]

@neez666 The only dog that needs putting down is you.

[neez666]

@shane12lee its n opinion i dont h8 u i dnt have a problem with u its just i didnt like the trumpet u were doing.

[shane12lee]

@neez666 Well it's all in fun, don't take it to seriously, it's for laughs, and to show how grweat our country is that I can do this.

[neez666]

@shane12lee fair enough

[emmymz304]

sounded liKE A DIEING CAT

[shane12lee]

@emmymz304 Haave you ever heard Jimmy Hendrixes verssion.?

[tilleykd]

Thats awesome. That brought tears to my eyes.. I freakin love this country.

[shane12lee]

@tilleykd Yeah, the country is a beautiful place.

[BobCymber]

uhhhhhh.....

[iluvEastonTurner]

eww ur weird

[shane12lee]

@iluvEastonTurner No, not really.

[xtxKadooxtx]

GO DIE

[shane12lee]

@xtxKadooxtx Fuck Off!

[trevorc980]

penis, that is all

[Jboobtime99]

amber from Springfield (off stillwell road) says you sound like a dead cat! what you say to someone who has hurtful things like that to say about ur singing?

I thought you sounded BRILLIANT i wish i could make noises of instruments with my mouth like you can. i love it!!

[shane12lee]

I would say thast she is jealous that I am trying this, and doing it somewhat good, though for laughs ads well, if you hear acat, I wanted it to soun like one.

[xNKACx]

lmao shane.. just wow...

[theVelociRabbit]

Shane You Are The Man!!!!!

[OcaZzo]

I understand that the position of your microphone doesn't matter, but it looks silly.

[shane12lee]

Who cares, what does it matter, and if it looks silly, then laugh at it?

[OcaZzo]

@shane12lee Haha.

[OcaZzo]

Lesson one: Place the microphone next to your mouth instead of your eye.

[shane12lee]

The Microphone placement doesnb't matter, because you can hear the song.

[JSUTrumpet]

Whats sad... Is people watch EVERYONE of his videos then get mad... If you dont like what he is doing... YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO NOT WATCH!!

[shane12lee]

That, and they actuall think that I would care what they had to say, when I know that they are just being assholes anyway.

[shane12lee]

Do you hear the song? In otherwotds, no matter the sound I used you hear the song, and melody, that is the point, and why you should still find it patriotic, because it is my freedom to do it this way.

[shane12lee]

Yeah, but why did it bother you, did it not sound musical, or make you feel patriotic, or make you laugh, or do you think that you are more patriotic than me, or that I did it to disrespect the country, and not get people to laugh, and enjoy our freedoms, I mean if you really think it that disrespectful, at least tell me why?

[shane12lee]

How did I do that? Did you not hear the melody? Did you not know what song it was? Who am I mocking, Michael Winslow, Jimmy Hemdrix? Because If you say that I did it to puposely mock the people who did it first, then you might be right, but if you mean that I did it to mock the country, you would be wrong, which I can then challenge your opinion, and say that you got the wrong idea about it.

[shane12lee]

Why, Who are you? If you have a problem with it, at least tell me why, or your opinion is bullshit, and a waste of my time and yours.

[shane12lee]

AND WHAT I AM SAYING IS YOUR COMMENT IS BULLSHIT, ID YOU COMPARE IT TO JIMMY HENDRIX'S VERSION, OR MICHAEL WINSLOW'S, DO YOU THINK THAT WHAT THEY DID WAS DISREPECTFUL TOO, YOU PEICE OFSHIT, FUCK OFF, I don't give a damnabout your opinion in the first place, because it is what is wrong with America today, you make bullshit comments, with no respect, my being in the miltary means i respect our freedoms, and kiberties, but you aren't even a trueamerican, or you would understand my real point.

[wej1990]

You don't have a point, nor a leg to stand on in this argument. I am deleting my previous comments because I used disrespectful language and for that I apologize. Just do whatever you're gonna do man. I was trying to offer a little constructive criticism, but obviously my opinion wasn't wanted. Sorry for ever commenting. I find the version you did unpatriotic and it rubbed me the wrong way. I wish you well man. truly.

[shane12lee]

Yes I do, lor you would have removed this obscure point as well, you are trying to say that my attenpting to sound like a guitar whie doing the national antheme is unpatriotc, How? How is it unpatriotic, Jimmy Hendrix did it, so did Michael Winslow, where they unpatriotic as well, or just me? I am not the first person to try to do this either, did you hear something specific that made you think that the sound itself made the song unpatriotic, like a frat sound? I cound understand if you did.

[himonacool]

Absolutely the bes thing I have ever heard. Just to pieces of advice, One choose to either sing the song or play it on guitar. Two you sound like a mentally retarded/narcoleptic/epileptic dog you might want to see a doctor???

[shane12lee]

I knw what I did with my voice, and that it sounds a little like a Dog howling, but that is the point, you can still hear the song, and the mn melody, and this was done naturall, and you seem Bi-Polar youraself.

[crunyon3602]

Your voice sounds a penis flopping continuously in the shape of an L on your forehead. Well, the years start coming and they start coming back to the rules and I hit the ground running. Did it make sense not to live for fun. Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb. So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with SHUTTING THE FUCK UP WHEN YOU CAN'T SING.

[shane12lee]

Speak for yourself, not my voice, because I know that you are nothing but a liar, dick sucking faggot, who only wants to shock the public, and keep people away from my videos by spouting your bullshit comments, but see I know your game you stupid Fuck, and don't care, and will fight fire with fire, which is sometimes necessary when deling with lying jealous assholes like yourself who can only sing in one voice, and are incapable of changing your sound.

[marquischadier]

Was this the first take?

[shane12lee]

Yes I did it in one take, all of my stuff is done that way.

[fowlfillums]

Wow.

If you're taking requests then please can I put in a request for Hocus Pocus by Focus. It's one of my favourite songs and I'd love to hear/ see you take that one on.

Keep up the great work.

Thank you.

[shane12lee]

I am afraid that I don't kno that song, coul you send me a link or something?

[MikaelLV]

what the hell is wrong with you? You obviously can't sing, you don't have talent at all! All these people say this to you and you still think you can sing?? THis is horrible!! You are really bad!!! You can't sing for shit!

[shane12lee]

I didn't sing in this video, you horses ass, I impersonated a guitar sound, and if you can't hear the melody of the song then you are tone deaf, and jealous of what I can do with my voice.

[mburch1974]

I dont care if he uses commas punctuation is overrated anyway

[shane12lee]

Welll sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't, it all depends on how long gte statement is.

[mrtyles]

at least you're doing the jimmy hendrix version which is crap.

[shane12lee]

Well it was considered genius at the time.

[Ex777hack001]

Obvious moaning.

[butthemeatwasbad]

Two questions:

1) Do you know the words?

2) Do you know how to use commas? Judging by your replies to viewer comments, you have absolutely no idea.

[shane12lee]

1) who doesn't. 2) who cares.

[butthemeatwasbad]

1) Well good job singing them!

2) I care. That's why I asked.

[shane12lee]

Allot of people don't always use punctuatipon on the internet, though I try if making a long statement.

[butthemeatwasbad]

Could I request you do this song with the words?

[shane12lee]

Sure, though I am working on something else at this time. I will try to get to it assoon as possible.

[mburch1974]

AHAHAHAHAH!

[MrTyrawwrr]

i honestly think his videos are good, if u don't like how he sings, please.. i do insist go jackoff cause this guy has more balls in his sack to post his shit that he knows deep down sounds good to him. So literally you record yourself doing this, and actually make it sound decent.. then see how much criticism you get.. Keep it up man

[TheJmodTribute]

Dude, Toby, shut the fuck up! I think he did good?

[tobykieth2]

And it's m right to express my opinion and my opinio is that u suk major donkey dick

[shane12lee]

And it is also my opinion that your opinion expresses how you really feel about yourself, because in my opinion I sound good, and funny, and did it on purpose, so your opinion means Dick to me, just Like Mr,. Nixon.

[tobykieth2]

If u didn't care then why do u keep replying

[shane12lee]

Because it's my channel, and my right.

[munkymaster86]

act F.A.S.T.

[tobykieth2]

Your mom is my manager fatso

[shane12lee]

If that were true, she woul;d vfire your dumb ass, and hire me instead, because I know what I am doing, and you are just a Dick sucking asshole, who wants to act like I give A damn about your opinion.

[tobykieth2]

I don't care u suck

[shane12lee]

No you suck, proably your managers Dick.

[tobykieth2]

If u did it with ur natural voice then I'm guessing not hard cuz it sucked lol

[shane12lee]

No, it didn't, it was funny and meant to be humorous Toby, you can clearly hear the melody, and the song, unless you are tone deaf, though i understand if the amplifiers keep ringing in your head.

[tobykieth2]

Ahhh omg dude I thought I herd it all but this beats it u sound like a dying dog ahahahahahahahahsha lmfao

[shane12lee]

Yeah, but you still hear the song right, do you know how hard it is to do that with your natural voice?

[Luapper]

Even better then the 5 octaves on piano.

Keep it going man, music evolution! This is the future.

[ForgetISaidAnything]

You should really take that dog to a vet, it sounds really hurt

[shane12lee]

Any Dog may howl, because it lives in America, the Land of the free, the home of the brave, and Howl the Star spangeled banner from the roof top, unless America is no longer goverened by the constitution, and has been taken over by Actors, and Musicians, who think that they are above the consitution, and that it don't apply to them.

[jofri016]

I THOUGHT IT WAS REALY GOOD! u have to seek IDOL!! :)

[luvzstudz]

why the fuck would you do this & not SING it... are you retarded or something??

[Goldblade030]

You're an embarrassment to the US. How dare you make fun of our national anthem. You sir are not funny at all. Our soldiers are fighting everyday for us and you think they would be proud to hear some shit like this. Your sir are not funny at all. Get a life.

[shane12lee]

You clearly can't understand that it is freedom that makes America great, and the fact that I can do this. That is what America is all about, you liar. You can still hear the main parts of the song unless you are tone deaf or something, and I was inb the military myseldf, and fought for my right to impersonate musical instruments with my voice.

[Goldblade030]

@shane12lee Well good for you. It doesn't matter if you can hear the "main parts of the song" its very disrespectful to our country and our soldiers.

[shane12lee]

In what way? You seem to just be saying this, without an explaination, Jimmy Hendrix did it with his Guitar, Me and Michael Winslow with our voices, see this is just my expression of the song, it doesn't matter if it isn't perfect, or is a little funny and may make you laugh a little, what is important is that I have the freedom to do it this way even if you don't like it, and that you still recognize it as the star spangled banner.

[MissyAmazing4]

wow seriously... you get a life

[MrLOLWHATTHEHELL]

seems like you were making fun of the national anthem, by the way you're off.

And your cracking doesn't help.

[POLITICTRUTH]

fail

[nastyn8g]

shane you have great videos...they are very entertaining and that is your goal!

[shane12lee]

Thanks that's the goal.

[KillerBear111]

that was the star spannl banna

[nastyn8g]

lmao

[CivilSweetness]

HikariDragonryuu, go get a fucking life.

nice name fag.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

..way to represent our country

[HikariDragonRyuu]

Clearly you're under the impression that you're a good singer. I'm sorry sir, but you're tone deaf. Take some voice lessons, and I'm sure you'll be good, but for now... ugh.

[shane12lee]

So first you say that I sound like Bill Cosby, then you act tone deaf yourself and can't hear the Star Spangled Banner, which was done vocally as an impersonation to Jimmy Hendrix, and Michael Winslow, though I also did it a little different on purpose, but you still can hear the main melody.

[HikariDragonRyuu]

I can hear the star spangled banner, you're just flat the entire time.

[shane12lee]

Which I did a little on purpose for comedic effect.

[HikariDragonRyuu]

I don't think you understand how flat you are... Seriously, you are NOT a good singer. Get some voice lessons and you could be okay.

[shane12lee]

No I am flat on purpose, which is part of the attempt to make it sound different too, than what Jimmy and Michael did.

[HikariDragonRyuu]

Okay, I've been a tad rude here, and I'm sorry for that. I've been in a bad mood, and I guess I've been taking it out on you.

However, I stand by some of my earlier points. It's not the fact that you're flat, it's the fact that you don't stay in the same key, and you consistenly go off pitch. It's okay to be flat, but not when you change pitches.

[shane12lee]

Again I am doing it on purpose, fdon't take it so seriously dude.

[HikariDragonRyuu]

No, you're not doing it on purpose, and at least try to admit it. Go back and listen to 0:15-0:17. There was nothing purposeful about that, so don't try to bullshit your way out of it. I tried to be nice, but really, just own up to it. Go take a voice lesson, and you'll be fine. It's perfectly understandable to have pitch problems when you don't understand singing.

[shane12lee]

You are the one talking Bullshit, and I don't have time to argue with idiots like you who act insane, if you insist in your error I will be forced to block you as insubordinate, and un willing to learn your lessons.

[HikariDragonRyuu]

Dear lord. You're impossible. Alright, I'll leave you alone, but not because I think you actually have the power to block me. You can send in a report on me, but I can just make another account. It isn't hard.

Just know that the only reason anybody watches your videos is because of Tosh.O making fun of you. It was pretty damn funny, too.

[shane12lee]

You have got to start somewhere, and if I can't tell you that I am joking then there is no talking to you, and I can block every account that you set up, and know that it is you because of your comments, dumbass.

[dofty]

So that's american patriotism.

[jmittsinger]

Did you hide your beagle off camera to lip sync it? lol, so funny man....

[shane12lee]

Nope, nor my cat either.

[Joernsen81]

How touching.

I noticed a lot of social criticism in the way your distinguished the different notes.

Also some small, but meaningful deviations from the Jimi Hendrix original put a focus on the war and the economy crisis.

All in all, what a thoughtful interpretation

[shane12lee]

There is no real criticsim, I am just trying to do it simularlly, but differently than the original.

[pepamethodman]

After seeing comments bellow i really have to say that you americans are the most retarded nation in the universe. And to the author - keep on doing these sort of comedy antics :D

[SirPsychoooSexy]

dude you are my hero, i want to be like you when im older.

[rosenstyle]

are you aware that you cant match pitch worth shit? Even if you could this would still be completely horrible.

[shane12lee]

I guess I hear something different than what you hear. So That means one of us has a hearing problem, or is taking it way to seriously.

[rosenstyle]

I think your tone deaf my friend.

[GaMeRuInEr]

If you're being serious, then you're a serious fucking retard.

If you're just joking (which really I hope you are), then you're pure comedic gold.

[shane12lee]

Well it is supposed to sound funny, but you can still hear the song as well.

[boisilv3r]

omg you put USA to Shame !!!

[shane12lee]

How is that?

[MrWankSock]

i don't know how to word this, but are you mentally ill, or is this some sort of humourous video? You have my support either way! marvellous stuff.

[CH33S3YBANANA]

all your songs are awesome. keep up the good work

[shane12lee]

Thanks, keep coming back.

[tomsmith395]

you are one of the funniest people on earth

[shane12lee]

Glad that you liked it.

[thesaxophonist74]

where did you study music?!? you are AMAZING. can i get a lesson and would you be willing to do shows? hit me up 390-451-2555

[shane12lee]

Thanks for the interest. , but right now I am just demonstraighting what I learned growing up on youtube.

[deadbabyeater]

Ok this totally just made my night so much better. Thanks for the laughs my good sir

[shane12lee]

No Problem Bro.

[skeltonbrent4000]

i am no longer proud to be an american... good job your the new obama

[shane12lee]

Then you were never proud of it in the first place and are just a jealous ass.

[UnicornSteak22]

You, sir, are an idiot, but your terrible singing brings joy to me.

[shane12lee]

Your commwent may prove that you are an idiot, but not me.

[KyleIsYourFriend]

tone deaf dog howling at the moon.
