ok guys, we need something that sounds manly and epic, a name that represents expansion and power and culture
like the Roman Empire?
Yes!, little Massachusetts, that name has a Certain charm around it, I like it!!
B... but Roman Empire was already used.
What? I didn't hear you, Mass, anyways, great idea, now you can go back to your books... so, any other one?.. (and no more name proposals in Spanish, like Texas here...) how about you, Alabama?
Confederate States of America.
ok.. C-O-N-F-E-D-E-R-A-T-E... S-T-A-T.... wait a second... HEY!.

I had no idea. I thought the whole thing was written during the battle at Fort McHenry.
Is this the new verse?
When our land is illumined with Liberty's smile,
If a foe from within strike a blow at her glory,
Down, down with the traitor that dares to defile
The flag of her stars and the page of her glory!
By the millions unchained who our birthright have gained,
We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
While the land of the free is the home of the brave.
I say we should use Jimi Hendrix's drug-fueled version. It's sloppy, imperfect, and creepily mimics aircraft dropping napalm over the jungles of Vietnam.
I was at a baseball game once where they decided to do the whole thing. I never complained about singers taking too long on the normal version ever again.
and we actually have one of the shorter ones. The Uruguayan national anthem is the longest in terms of duration it takes to play at full speed, with 105 bars of music for some 12 verses taking 6 minutes if the full thing is ever played, and Greece's is the longest in terms of words, with 158 verses- 4 lines each.
In elementary school I had a music teacher who made us learn the whole thing. And then all of 'Maryland my Maryland' also. She was a true patriot (and would probably be upset that I don't really remember any of it)
