  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

Glad to see this making the rounds.

Not only does the man make the national anthem sound sexy as all hell, but he does it with a cheesy 1980's Casio keyboard drumbeat as his backup.

Wow he was good. I got chills listening to that.
