The National Anthem aka the Star Spangled Banner aka the "Defense of Fort McHenry" poem, which was the original title of the Star Spangled Banner, "the Defense of Fort McHenry"... sucks! OMG... it sucks so bad! First of all, it’s a foreign tune... it’s hard to sing, the words are not easy to remember; it's too clumsy & bulky... it just sucks. It outright blows a big ol bag of donkey dicks. Fuck the Star Spangled Banner! Here's some irony for ya. Even though the Star Spangled Banner was written as a mostly anti-British poem, specifically the 1814 British assault on Fort McHenry, Fort McHenry was the fort that guarded Baltimore during the War, it's actually sung to the melody of an aristocratic song called, "To Anacreon in Heaven", which was ironically an English song that was composed in 1775. So, a mostly anti-British song, but written to a British Melody. Ironic, no? The Star Spangled Banner, and this is the important part,
