Sing the National Anthem Right Or Not At All

[ClydeR]

Indiana will soon start punishing those who give wrong performances of The Star-Spangled Banner.

Sen. Vaneta Becker, R-Evansville, has introduced a bill that would set specific "performance standards" for singing and playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at any event sponsored by public schools and state universities.

The bill calls for schools to maintain audio recordings of all performances for two years and develop a procedure for dealing with complaints if a musician is alleged to have strayed from the approved lyrical or melodic guidelines.

People who sing it wrong would have to pay a fine under the new law.

It's about time that somebody put a stop to the nontraditional ways that Certain People have performed The Star-Spangled Banner.

Thank God your national anthem isn't very long.. I hope you already know it:

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
