  • 1:34 umm....that's quite the hand job there.....

  • @pieguyfry22

    No kidding. That's the original emblem of the Journal of the Proceedings of Congress (1774). It's 12 arms "supporting" the "Liberty Pole."

  • "Star Spangled Banner" is basically a song of war meant to be sung by a woman.

    "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is strictly a song of war.

    "Yankee Doodle" is a fun, lighthearted song--but no anthem, by any means.

    "Hail Columbia" is an song of praise to our leaders and our troops.

    "meant to be sung by a woman"

    The tune of the Star Spangled Banner — "To Anacreon in Heaven" — was the anthem of an 18th-century gentlemen's club and was composed by and for its members.

  • This song is too light and frivilous to be taken seriously as a national anthem, I like it even less than I do the Star Spangled banner.

    This song is good for revolutionary war documentaries, but that's about it.

  • Are there words to this song?

  • @RushLimborg Yankee Doodle was actually a song created by British Soldiers during the American Reveloultion to poke fun at the rebels.

  • 1:34 PENIS!

  • Americans- we should changed our name from the name bearing wretched Dago's name. I propose that we should call our nation, from now on, the Great and Ever-Victorious Union of the States of Isabella, in honour of Queen Elizabeth I, under whose reign saw the beginning of what was to be the greatest nation on earth.
