Quite simply, it's the national anthem of the United States of America. It was written by Francis Scott Key during the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The melody was taken from a British pub song and new lyrics were added. The song is EXTREMELY difficult to sing, and even though many famous people have sung it at sporting events, VERY few have ever got it right.
I was watching the 2004 Summer Olympics on TV. They were being broadcast (taped) from Greece. The U.S. womens soccer team had won the Gold medal in the game finals. When they received their medals in a ceremony most of them joined in a vocal rendition of the star spangled banner . It was the most wretched, lousy and downright godawful version of that anthem I ever heard in my life, and I've heard plenty of horrible renditions. This was the famous 15 minutes for the ladies, since the networks, the press (and the general public pretty much too) don't really give a rat's ass about womens sports, let alone soccer as much as they do about football, baseball and basketball - especially as played by men. A moment of national pride for the U.S.A., forgotten in a flash. And so it goes.

The Brittan Binder (A.K.A. Bull frog) is an amphibian in the order Analla (meaning "butt-less" from Greek an-, without + alla, butt). Adult brittans are characterised by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits, protruding eyes and the absence of a soul. Most Brittans have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping, climbing, or bumming rides off of friends. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds,or in the dark caverns of Ali Blackstone. Adult Brittans follow a Voracious diet, mostly of Burgers, tacobell and the occasional male genetalia. Brittans are most noticeable through their mating call which resembles that of a Hawthorne Heights song. This can be widely heard throughout bernardsville and pottersville NJ.
