He should wear a pin, he should put his hand over his heart, and he should not become president
She pointed out that “the tune of the Star-Spangled Banner was originally a drinking song. If they can put the words to the tune of a rousing drinking song, to quibble over whether you put your hand over your heart is really ridiculous.”
a drinking song???obviously someone has no clue about the history of the american anthem or its comming to be the national anthem!just another liberal trying to make light of the american ideal, oh well that 200 year old piece of parchment doesnt mean anything anymore just because it goes against everything that we democrats believe in! my grandfather and his grandfather and his grandfather are all rolling in thier graves!
Well how's about that The poem was set to the tune of a popular British drinking song, written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a London social club. "The Anacreontic Song" (or "To Anacreon in Heaven"), set to various lyrics, was already popular in the United States.
You seriously didn't know that?
No! I never even thought about it. I know the song was originally a poem, but I didn't know about the drinking song.Seems very appropriate.
What strikes me as odd...it's a really hard song to sing well, I can't imagine how hard it is for a bunch of drunks to sing and have any fun while doing so.
Are you kidding, that would be the most fun, it's so hard to sing the really high parts would be a great laugh. But also, you have to keep in mind... the brits wrote it. LOL
Those two are the pick of the litter. Does that not boggle your mind?
Those two are the pick of the litter. Does that not boggle your mind?I predict this is a year history does not repeat itself and a republican gets in office after an 8 year term.
i want John Wayne for president
The one thing that keeps eating at the back of my mind is that Romney didn't stop his campaign, he suspended it.....
I'm with ya there.. I agree with him whole heartedly on some things but I am so against him on so many it makes me sick to think he has a chance. He is by far the lesser of the 3 evils but thats only because the other 2 are sofawking evil Satan is scared of them...
None of them will be getting my vote anyway... I'm voting for Romney or Thompson as a write in....
