I like theoretical America. It looks great on paper.

America in practice just sucks.

10/7/2009 10:18:32 PM

^^not everyone is like your family dude

10/7/2009 10:18:56 PM

oh whatever...those little girls singing are just so good and I got goosebumps listening to it.

Then it made me think of other times I've heard the National Anthem sung that have given me the goosebumps cause it sounds so good.

Like on bagpipes.

To Anacreon in heaven where he sat in full glee,
A few sons of harmony sent a petition,
That he their inspirer and patron would be,
When this answer arrived from the jolly old Grecian:
Voice, fiddle aud flute, no longer be mute,
I'll lend you my name and inspire you to boot!
And besides I'll instruct you like me to entwine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine.

The news through Olympus immediately flew,
When old Thunder pretended to give himself airs,
If these mortals are suffered their scheme to pursue,
The devil a goddess will stay above stairs,
Hark! already they cry, in transports of joy,
A fig for Parnassus, to Rowley's we'll fly,
And there my good fellows, we'll learn to entwine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine.

The yellow-haired god, and his nine fusty maids,
To the hill of old Lud will incontinent flee,
Idalia will boast but of tenantless shades,
And the biforked hill a mere desert will be,
My thunder, no fear on't, will soon do its errand,
And, damn me I'll swinge the ringleaders, I warrant
I'll trim the young dogs, for thus daring to twine
The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine.

Apollo rose up and said, "Prythee ne'er quarrel,
Good king of the gods, with my votaries below
Your thunder is useless - then showing his laurel,
Cried, Sic evitabile fulmen, you know!
Then over each head my laurels I'll spread,
So my sons from your crackers no mischief shall dread
Whilst snug in their club-room, they jovially twine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine.

You haven't heard the national anthem on bagpipes. Bagpipes don't have the range for the Star Spangled Banner. Hell, you can't even fit Dixie on the bagpipes. I know, I've tried.

10/7/2009 10:20:09 PM

^You're right....long day...I like Amazing grace on bagpipes...

anyway, can't y'all just appreciate 5 little girls doing wonderful harmony to the National Anthem?

10/7/2009 10:22:19 PM

Look, NASCAR fans enjoy listening to Hanson too!

If you think the last four words of the national anthem are "GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES"

you might be a redneck

10/7/2009 10:28:16 PM

^^^ Overrated as well, but only because I / we ALWAYS got requests to play Amazing Grace . . . often right after we'd finished.


And yes, the little girls are good but I'm not one for blind patriotism anymore. I just wanted to post the original lyrics to the tune.














the Flowers of the Forest is a much better funeral tune on the pipes:

smath would be all over this back in the old days

10/7/2009 10:42:44 PM

I knew it was Phish before I even clicked on it

10/7/2009 10:42:53 PM

10/7/2009 10:43:44 PM

evan, you seriously need to start singing again, mang.

10/7/2009 10:45:37 PM

I hate the fact that the American anthem is not made for crowds to sing along to

it's always a solo or a small group where people have to shut the fuck up and listen

fuck that shit, gimme an anthem i can drink to

10/7/2009 10:46:10 PM

as soon as brad and tom leave the grains, i will

also thinking about taking chamber singers again next semester... or did dr. leaf bastardize that beyond recognition?

10/7/2009 10:46:41 PM

I haven't heard good things about Dr. Leaf.

10/7/2009 10:47:21 PM

When I was in the Lenior Rhyne Youth Choir we sang the National Anthem at a Hickory Crawdads game. It can be sung by larger groups. It's just hard to get a large group together that can sing it well.

It would be hilarious to get all of Carter Finley singing it one day for a game though.

10/7/2009 10:48:04 PM

that's the whole reason i dropped chamber after like 2 weeks in the first place... i couldn't stand him.

i want dr. sturgis back

sigh i know this, knew some smart ass was going to post it the second after i hit post reply

but it's not a song (in anthem form) designed for a whole crowd to sing, and is not conducive to singing loudly while pounding a brew. fucking. sorry.
