I went on a tirade about it in the thread about the guy in Nashville performing it with playing bongos.

The lyrics are about the War of 1812 which like you said nobody seems to understand well, and the actual music for it, if you trace it to its real origins, is basically a drinking song for a gentlemen's club (not the modern definition) in London.
War of 1812? lol

Meh, the U.S. national anthem is pretty bad as it is about a war nobody understands that basically ended in a tie.

I signed the petition to substitute it with "Whoomp There It Is" but Congress hasn't taken that up yet.
But, It’s more specifically about a US fort withstanding a night of bombardment by the British. Even a tie with mighty Britain was a win for the fledgling US nation.
 
Oh let's.......
