You will see why I and many fans call it that here...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ051cBx30Y<br /><br /><br />I do not think any CT TV station played this version. <br /><br /><br />The most unique one hands down WTIC-TV Channel 61 pre-FOX.

Also, a very good antidote to all the pop, rock, rap, hip-hop, R&B, county, and jazz renditions ad nauseum by singers who can't hit or hold a note, and so instead ruin this great anthem with all idiotic manner of warbling and vocal nonsense.<br /><br />The Star Spangled Banner has been our anthem for almost a century.
