    Tried singing it in Spanish, but I still can't hit them high notes.

    Oh, great! Another language in which no one can sing the Star Spangled Banner in.

    I'd say we switch to Yankee Doodle. It's more associated with our fight for independence, we all know the words, everyone can sing the tune, and no one will ever be able to translate "doodle" into Spanish.

    Besides, I like a national anthem that proclaims that how handy we Americans are with the ladies. It drives them cheese eating surrender monkeys up a wall.
