And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And THIS is why Colin Kaepernick takes a knee when they play the Star spangled banner. *promote

Maybe if I looked up how to do things before I do them!

Invocations (related=http://videosift.com/video/Playing-The-Star-Spangled-Banner-with-a-Gun) cannot be called by Phooz because Phooz is not privileged - sorry.

They need a tuner on a few of those notes but then again this is a gun making a melody so its close enough for rock n' roll! I wonder what type of ammunition they use? How much did playing that cost?

Also, related video!

I think it's special precisely because of the lack of 'showbiz' about it. The Star-Spangled Banner is a really difficult song to sing. It's very rangy and the intervals are difficult to hit. Just presenting it "plainly" is enough of an achievement.

My appreciation for the star spangled banner has increased tenfold.

nope, this is freakin hilarious, she's a comedic genius. It's made even better by the fact that the piano playing is so bog standard.

*edit* OK turns out the piano was added after as a joke, there's a version of this with the star spangled banner, with Adele etc... In reality she sang this acapella. I'm kind of disappointed now.. but I have to admit I did laugh.

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave ...

That is the line it fell on!
