Every time I attend a sporting event where they sing the national anthems of both the USA and Canada, the American anthem, when sung by just a single singer, pumps me up and makes me feel patriotic, even though I'm not even an American, while the Canadian anthem requires the home crowd support to match.

Music is supposed to be subjective, but I almost want to say the Star-Spangled Banner is objectively better than O Canada.

Blasphemy?

Not even a little. It doesn't sound like an anthem, it sounds like some weird amateur spoken word poetry thing.

But our American anthem is so fucking terrible. We also need to stop blasting it as propaganda everywhere.

No, that's the Tannenbaum one.

Canadians anthem beings with a signing lament of their own country.

Oh, Canada.

Jimi Hendrix is the only one who plays it correctly.
It's a violent song.

I think, This Land is Your Land, by Woodie Guthrie would be much better.

Every anthem gets way better, when it's bagpipes.
