You made my day with that! I’ll have to tell jimmah; he’ll laugh too.

and what is it with the national anthem being so hard to sing?— years ago i read that the tune is from an old english drinking song (?!), which surely can’t be true, but it does make sense that drunks would think they can hit those notes.

True: IIRC, Francis Scott Key set the SSB to the tune of an 18th-century drinking song called “”To Anacreon In Heaven”. One which he must have been familiar…
