yep, if you can't sing it without forgetting nor following the song the way it was written-please don't sing it.
the little girl recently on the news wanted to do it in her rendition. why change a National song? just because you can? sigh. Yep, I'm old and love our national anthym. just like i like our Pledge to our Flag, etc. but then, I'm old and things like that mean an awful lot to me.
