Original article: Oh, say can you care?

At least it doesn't mention religion....

I agree that "The Star-Spangled Banner" is completely atrocious and unsingable. However, I can only think of one other popular patriotic song that doesn't mention God - "This Land is Your Land." And we all know that there are some people who would never ever agree to sing that "hippie music."

I would rather have a song that is hard to listen to than implicitly condone the combining of church and state.
