    "America the Beautiful" is just a better song on every level than "The Star-Spangled Banner" and should've replaced it as the anthem a century ago

        The definition of an "anthem" is a song everyone sings together and we don't do that because the one we picked has too big a range for anyone who doesn't have professional training to sing comfortably and not sound like crap

        And it encourages the people we get who do have training to sing it to embroider it with all these flourishes and show off and shit It's just musically disastrous

        Even better if it was replaced by Lets Groove by Earth Wind And Fire “All rise, and then get *down* for the National anthem.”

        Harry Truman once derided a song he didn't like (the Missouri Waltz - long story) by saying "It's almost as bad as the damn Star Spangled Banner"

        But Star Spangled Banner had rockets and bombs, so it's more in keeping with our theme.

        Bonus of being almost impossible to sign. On the other hand, it stands out at the Olympics

        I heard that it wasn’t chosen because it includes a specific reference to God. But yeah I totally agree

        It’s a lovely song, but I’m not thrilled about its overt religiosity or the way it leans into Manifest Destiny. “Across the wilderness! / America! America!” reinforces colonial propaganda that the Americas were empty for the taking.

        Basically we should replace the national anthem anyway.https://youtu.be/cOyVho1E4ZY
