New national anthem

I am sick of “Oh say can you see…”, interpreted by everyone from Adam Ant to U2. Especially in times of war and massive media driven sports programs, at least an anthem should be listenable and have a decent beat.

Also, we are moving into a post-literate, maybe even post-English language, culture! That’s why my suggestion is “Rock and Roll Part II” by Gary Glitter, the “Hey” song at sports games. It’s inspirational, motivating, and really easily learned. If you don’t know it. you can listen here using Real Player http://homepage.interaccess.com/~lala/bulls/288ra/Rock_and_Roll_Part_2_.ram

Other suggestions?

FYI. Posted this first in General Questions, then thought it was better here. Don’t know how to move a post from one category to another. then again, that’s a question better suited for the other category. sorry about the double posting.

Posting the same thread in two forums is called cross-posting and is forbidden here. The other thread has already been moved to IMHO by JillGat, so I’ll close this one. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=98846
