What should be the United States National Anthem?

[Modbert]

The teens being tossed out for not standing during God Bless America has made me think of something, what do you USMB think should be the National Anthem?

The choices will be included in the poll and you only get one choice.

Sorry if I forgot any of the major ones.

One of my favs, but I voted for The Star Spangled Banner.

What?? What kind of thread is this?

What?? What kind of thread is this?

Some people disagree that it shouldn't be the Star-Spangled Banner. Well here is their opportunity to vote and say that opinion.

Who? People on here? Must have missed that one.

I suppose so, it wasn't out of a dislike of the Star-Spangled Banner but just preference of another. Care to vote?

 

[Zoom-boing]

Ah, I rarely 'vote' on these things. The Star Spangled Banner. If it's not broke, why fix it?

i voted star spangled banner, by the way this land is your land is a patriotic song like Bruce Springsteens born in the U.S.A. is a patriotic song.

 

[noose4]

love the song and it has a good message but its not national anthem material:

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie

Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

I like the Star Spangled Banner because it's majestic and doesn't reference mysticism to any noticeable degree.

 

[Xenophon]

Hey, we got the freaken bomb, that's right!

 

[Centrism'sVoice]

At this point we should drop the pretense and just use China's national anthem.

 

[Ringel05]

Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,
For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea."
— George Carlin
