Petition for our national anthem to be Free Bird

[Caesar of Bread]

Free Bird is an influential song asked for at EVERY karaoke party. Now, I'm taking it a step further. Should Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd be the national anthem?

 

[El_Machinae]

That is an inspired dilemma.
We need a Mash Up of those two songs.

Bet!

 

[Farm Boy]

That song is already American Pie.

 

[Caesar of Bread]

That song is already American Pie.

The day the music died.

 

[Farm Boy]

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

 

[Caesar of Bread]

Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singing, "This'll be the day that I die"

 

[Farm Boy]

It's a good one to put on before dancing real slow.

Bro you're scheming for 3 months to get a gf and you want that as our anthem? You're quite contradictory, definitely not a simple kind of man

 

[Gori the Grey]

Not somethin' you love and understand.

We need a Mash Up of those two songs.

Oh-oh say, can you see
The-uh bird that is free.

I'll work out the rest if you give me a bit of time. I've got three other poetic projects underway just now.

Well it is a nice song, but it seems to me it is about
a bloke telling a woman that he won't commit to her.

As national anthem its message for the wider world would
seem to be about promulgating american exceptionalism.

By the way, Caesar, "Simple Man" might give you as good dating advice as you got in either of the two crashed threads:

Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love

Don't force it. Don't push. It will come in its own way at its own time.

(Every dating advice thread turns into something else, so every other thread has to turn into a dating advice thread)

 

[Farm Boy]

It's almost like we're built for it.

 

[Saxo Grammaticus]

Perhaps it's time we did away with our national anthems.

 

[Lexicus]

The real national anthem is "This Land is Your Land". I will not be taking any questions.

 

[Birdjaguar]

The real national anthem is "This Land is Your Land". I will not be taking any questions.

Best choice ever!

 

[Hygro]

Well the poll includes my choice so I’m happy.

 

[Lexicus]

Okay I'm taking my previous post back it should be WAP because how funny would it be to watch guys like Ben Shapiro cry about how you have to stand for the anthem and the anthem is WAP

 

[Narz]

The real national anthem is "This Land is Your Land". I will not be taking any questions.

That song brings me back to a time as a small boy before cynicism kicked in.

 

[Hygro]

The thing I like about the star spangled banner is that it’s fun to single and allows very musical and really American soul style embellishments.
