I don't know if anyone else shares this opinion, but to me, the songs "God Bless America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" are pretty sacred representations of this great country. I like them best sung pretty straight, with very little deviation from how they were written to be. I think both of those songs were butchered at this year's super bowl. Geez I hate that, but my wife says it's just me and my getting old.
