Tonight's national anthem?
I like the Fray. I'm not overly patriotic. But I kind of really hated the national anthem that just happened. Anyone else? I don't know. I feel like its just one of those songs you can't just make your own.
Re: Tonight's national anthem?
I liked it.
This. I googled since I figured people would be bringing it up already on various forums. My favorite comments so far:
What the unholy F is this crap? The Fray singing the National Anthem
Jesus H Christ that was grounds for a severe beating.
Short of Roseanne Barr's version, worst I have ever heard. Damn near unrecognizable.
Hipster National Anthem
No ***. Have someone who knows it, come out, shred it accapella. That's the best way to do it.
It's not a fuckings performance, it's paying tribute to the country. So stop the fuckings showboating with it, and save the shits for halftime.
I seriously wanted to grab one of the guitars and beat them with it.
Dev calls herself a National Anthem purist - EVEN AFTER WATCHING MARVIN GAYE DO THIS!!!
Sorry, I know. This is at least the 3rd time I've posted this damn thing on this board. But I get the chills EVERY TIME CAPITAL LETTERS!!!!!
Ninja edit: That Fray bullcrap was a joke. I had to show her the above link to wash that taste out of my ears.
I hate The Fray and really don't like the National Anthem so I'm hesitant to look it up.
My Cooking Blog
wow, i expected something much worse!
eh, it wasn't thaaaat bad.
mediocre.
/gavel.
Who are the Fray? lol
I'm so out of touch.
I didn't care for it.
my read shelf:
I just looked it up and was expecting the worst rendition ever from all the comments on here and on FB. Because the bar was set so low, I didn't think it was awful. More than anything, I thought it was weird that they had the entire band perform that song instead of just the vocalist. I didn't think it the worst ever, but I'm not used to hearing a folk version. I was totally LOLing at the guy with a drum and tambourine.
I saw the Marines standing on the court on one of the shots, and thought that the Marine Corps band would have nailed it (but I'm biased since my husband was in the MCB).
