Sing the national anthem in whatever language you want. I don't care.

[Fridays Child]

This is not news.

Bush has approved a Dubai takeover of 9 military plants. This is news.
Rove is a target of Fitzgerald. This is news.
Bush cuts funding for alternative energy sources. This is news.
Domestic wiretapping. This is news.
Gasoline price gouging. This is news.
Slaughter in Darfur. This is news.
Nearly 2,400 American soldier have died in Iraq. THIS IS NEWS.

Sing the national anthem in pig latin for all I care. It's not news.

1. It's always been like nails on a chalkboard to me anyway

[Kikosexy2]

5. I'll keep...

playing the Roseanne Barr version over and over for shits & giggles...

[Fridays Child]

11. My favorite Roseanne moment...

On SNL, riffing on Prince, she introduces herself as the comedian formerly known as Roseanne. And saying, "This is my symbol," she flips off the audience!

I just love that chick. :D

[cpousnret]

2. great post

thank you for liberty,i thought thats what we are about.

[warrens]

3. Jose can you see????

Very old joke about the immigrant named Jose going to his first baseball game and the whole crowd sang a song for him.

[Fridays Child]

4. Now THAT's silly.

But cute. ;)

[Steve55]

6. very old... I had completely forgotten it n/t

[Longhorn]

31. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[karlrschneider]

7. I don't care either way, it's a shitty song anyway.

grr

[spanone]

8. I agree 100%. It's a lovely diversion & the cable newsies eat it up.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. Republicans in search of a wedge issue strike out

Like you, I really don't care what language it is sung in. It's a free country, at least for now.

[Fridays Child]

10. At least for now, indeed.

:(

[cascadiance]

19. They probably don't care because Bush will change the anthem later...

to be one of these old tunes...

They fit more with the transition that the Rethugs want to have happen later!

12. I think our main song should be left to the American Indian.

[Fridays Child]

13. Good idea.

:thumbsup:

[Sequoia]

15. Seems the tune is from an old English drinking song.

Ha, ha...how appropriate for the USA.

[Sequoia]

14. In honor of the May 1st Boycott, I put this on my lobby's

marque.

Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures. Cesar Chavez

and below that:

La terra del libre y del hogar del valente.

[silverweb]

16. Exactly!

This whole business is much ado about nothing.

Some people exist just to stir up controversy and manufacture outrage over nothing issues. These days, it seems that those nothing issues are deliberately designed as distractions to keep us from noticing the real outrages occurring in our nation and the world.

[deadparrot]

17. Amen.

A huge majority of the American people can't even remember the lyrics to the damn song anyway.

People are getting butchered. People are living without food, shelter, clothing, and proper medical care. Let's get our priorities straight.

[951-Riverside]

18. One reason why I don't attend sporting events....

They require you to stand, take off your hat, etc during the national anthem and if you don't do it be prepared for some asshole to harass you the entire game.

[JackintheGreen]

20. OK... here goes in German....and a 1 and a 2 and a

Buschland Buschland uber alles
Uber alles in der Welt....

Nukes explodierung
uber Iran
Glass' und mutants uberall

Weltkrieg drei, me oh my
Buschland Buschland Sie sind awesome!

Tony Snow, Sie konn' blow
auf unsre grossen Schlong'\


(this is awful...just awful...):)

[Fridays Child]

27. Awful, yet well done!

:applause:

[Cronus Protagonist]

30. that is fucking great!

21. This Ought To Fill 75 News Cycle On Faux Mews

This is really important to no one. No one is excited about this except the Propaganda Ministry at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.


Bush Lied. People Died. Media Cheered.

22. OK, pig latin anthem you shall get! Here it is.

And right on. There should be nothing on the news except Darfur and our illegal government.

[Fridays Child]

24. ROTFLMAO!

Oh, good lord! That's great! :rofl: :woohoo: :applause:

Did you do that or is there a pig latin server somewhere out there, on the "Internets?" Either way, good show! :thumbsup:

[Gregorian]

25. Two googles, and presto.

I googled "pig latin translator". And of course, in this highly informative age, pig latin translators we shall get.

I have a very high IQ, but I don't know anything about the most average things. I don't know pig latin. I pay zero attention to football. I'm living on my own private planet. There, more than you ever wanted to know about me. (:

[Fridays Child]

26. I live on a nearby planet.

Hi, neighbor. :hi: Over here, we're almost as smart as you, having been dumbed down only slightly by the brain cells we wasted learning pig latin. Like your people, however, we are clueless about this thing called football. :D

[OnionPatch]

23. Really. I just can't imagine why the offense?

I saw a poll somewhere today where something like 75% of the people thought it was disrespecful to sing the national anthem in Spanish. :wtf: Are people really as petty as all that? Are they really that small-minded? I was hoping the poll had been freeped. :(

[Nikki Stone 1]

28. Translate the anthem if you must, but also, transpose it down a 3rd

Nobody can sing that damned high note on "the rocket's red glare".

[Fridays Child]

29. Good suggestion!

That one always did make my throat hurt.

[Nikki Stone 1]

32. I always thought the anthem needed to be more democratic

:)

[mondo joe]

33. Seems like a weird thing to get upset over.

I can even understand people getting upset over the flag -- but the anthem? Who the hell cares?
