national anthem, does it choke you up a little?
 

or do you just not even pay attention or even care at all? when you hear it sung does it get to you a little and make you think and feel thankful and proud?

not when it's sung badly by a blind 10 year old.

:(

Yea it does, but that kid was not the best.


:Oh crap :Oh crap

kid messed up

I prefere the sex pistols version of God save the queen than I do the real national uk anthem

Only when it's sung by Italian opera singer Enrico Pallazzo

It does when I'm at Yankee Stadium.

i could care less who's singing it and how good they sing, it's about the effort they're putting into it and the meaning and feeling of it. that kid can't sing, but he was giving it all he could and it meant something to him and that's what makes it great.

I am in different...
Why do you ask these things anyways?

I agree. It could be song by anyone and it would still be good. I got a choked up by the kid singin'. I think some people forget how lucky we are and they take shit for granted.

Everytime!!! :thumbsup :flagface :thumbsup

exactly, i hardly even pay attention to how it's being sung, if you've got time to do that then you're missing the whole point of it all. it's a time to think and feel something bigger than how good someone can sing.

Actually what get's me is the 21 gun salute with taps playing... :( That one is always painful...

Loryn/JDog,

Exactly. At least, someone here understands. And I agree with both of you, 100%.

It's a nice song but i find the words violent. Fighting and killing and glory just doesn't inspire me.

So I'm not the only one that gets a little teary-eyed when that is played ...

Something about hearing it and seeing 300 lb. men with a tear just makes me weep ...

Well thats how this country was formed :) Get used to it.

it still gets too me

That's now most governments are established, but most countries seem to find better things to sing about, like the beauty of their land and people.

Why do you ask? Just cause you saw some marines and football players crying on tv during the football game

Those are the pussies that live comfortably because they're our friends, that have time to sing about the land.

A nonsensical answer flavored with a hint of Anne Coulter style jingoism.

"They [Canada] better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent." - Anne Coulter

I like the way Jimi Hendrix sang it...

Now if only there were more artists like him doing the Anthem...

Sigh...

i hate ann coulter

who dat??

i wanna puke when i hear it, nationalist propoganda doing exactly what it is supposed to, working like a charm on you cry babies.

depends who is singing it
