YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Star-Spangled Banner is not easy to sing. It’s rangy, for one thing. One and a half octaves are a lot to ask of the average citizen, as is the chromaticism throughout the melody. Also, the words are a mouthful and easy to mangle or forget (Just google “worst renditions of National Anthem,” and strap in. The number of professional musicians who have unilaterally be-clowned themselves for posterity is mind-boggling).

Consider this a Star-Spangled Public Service Announcement from the Dirty Jobs Guy to all those honored to lead us in song.

Happy Birthday, America!
