Nashville Bongo Drums anthem……. Worst ever???

[Chinaski89]

I wouldn't expect that kind of dirty hippy behavior out of Nashville. Great for the unintentional comedy though lol

Most of the alt-country scene resides in Nashville also and they are all anarchist gutter punks that turned to outlaw country to make money or phish hippie jam band dudes that turned to Flying Burrito Brothers and Byrds style psyche country to make money… this guy is in his own stratosphere though.

What were they thinking!?

Probably somewhere in between somehow thinking it was a good idea and not thinking at all.

 

[Rebels57]

Good time to bring back the absolute GOAT of mismatched style/execution of National Anthems.

My dad and I have had a thing going where we like to joke about the length of the performance of the US anthem and criticize performers who really drag it out. We’ve even run a stopwatch (well I use the timer on my phone these days) on the rendition at the Super Bowl ever since Super Bowl XXX. This year it came in at two minutes and five seconds, but there’s always a margin of error of a few seconds. Last year it was 1:42.

annnnnd Trotz just gave that man 7 years x $4 mill to be the full-time anthem singer.

This thread being about “music” combined with your username now has Gustav Holst stuck in my head.

Stuff like this is why I keep the sound off until the anthem is over. If I had a dollar for everytime I've yelled at the TV " just sing the song " I could probably retire.

Without saying a word he made a strong case for

1. Freedom of expression should have limitations
2. Discrimination isn’t always bad
3. Art isn’t subjective.

Bravo.

This could work as a post-apocalyptic movie intro.
"It's the year 2025. The world has been devastated by a pandemic and..."

Spectacular.

The one in LA last night (Kings vs Bruins) was pretty bad. I think it was an accordion team or something. Cannot find video of it, but heard it on the radio feed. Woof.

There’s only one musician I know of who can actually make accordion music sound good, and that’s Weird Al.

I thought it was pretty fire

Francis Scott Key is rolling around in his grave right now, and he didn’t even write the music to the US anthem. Just the words.

Well, good for him. Whoever wrote the music is deaf.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...just sing the f**kin' Anthems, ffs, and stop trying to turn them into Pop songs...

Worst one I've heard so far this season was the Canadian anthem at the USA vs. Canada championship game, but that wasn't the NHL. NHL-run tournament yes, but not an NHL game.

that one was so bad that I wondered if they brought in the girl from Goon as a bit or something.

One of the most famous classical composers was deaf.

The composer attributed to the music that is the current US anthem was John Stafford Smith, at least for the original melody that the current music is based on (a panel of five musicians took the melody and arranged it in its current form much later). The melody was the official anthem of the Anacreontic Society in the 18th century in London, the society being a "gentlemen's club" (no, not the modern definition of that) for people towards the high end of the social hierarchy. It's arguably not much more than a drinking song that they used after dinner in order to kick off the later portion of their monthly meetings that was meant to be light-hearted revelry.

You'd think that if any country would have a drinking song as their national anthem, it would be the Republic of Ireland.
