Last night was Kobe Bryant's last game of his career. Before the game Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers played the National Anthem. I've seen a lot of people perform this over the years, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it on a bass.
Madison Rising is a band claiming to be "America's most patriotic rock band", while that may be the case, it doesn't change the fact that they are horrible. I hate knocking a band for what they love to do but these guys performed the National Anthem over the weekend and this version is brutal as hell...
In case you missed the Free Beer & Hot Wings Show this morning, the guys played a tape of a singer performing some anthems before a hockey game this weekend. I can only imagine how nerve racking it must be to sing in front of thousands of people, especially if you don't fully know the song. This singer was challenged with singing both the Star Spangled Banner and the Canadian National Anthem
This is being called one of the "worst ever renditions" of the National Anthem. I would have to agree, I just want this little 11 year-old girl to shut her mouth. The best part of the video is watching the reaction of the players and fans.
You wouldn't think that Jack Black would be taken seriously enough to sing the national anthem but these guys did. I have to say that he did one hell of a job too. Way better then most that try to add their personal touch. Normally the artistic interpretations of artists suck donkey nuts. Senor Black handled it quite well.
For all of the crappy things that happen on the planet, you've gotta take the time to recognize one of the great things. Watch what happens when an autistic man loses his place in the National Anthem and an entire stadium comes to his aid.
Kazakhstan's Maria Dmitrienko recently won gold at a shooting event in Kuwait, only to be "honored" with the playing of a Borat parody song instead of her country's true national anthem.
We've heard the good, the bad and the God awful. This national anthem compilation video pretty much eliminates the good because all of these are God awful. If you would like to see more videos of people completely flubbing the national anthem, click here.
