If you haven’t heard, someone out there is trying to get the national anthem changed to R. Kelly’s 2003 hit “Ignition (Remix).” Can you imagine this playing before a sporting event? Or every time we win gold at the 2016 Olympics? Incredible.
While I think it’s a solid song, I think there are many more choices that would better serve our country.
- Run The World – Beyonce
- Because who run the world? AMUUURICA.
- American Saturday Night – Brad Paisley
- Because it’s just another American Saturday night y’all.
- Don’t Stop Believing – Journey
- Because you should never stop believing and I’m pretty sure it’s the #1 karaoke song nationwide.
- Express Yourself – Madonna
- Because we’re the country that encourages you the express yourself, no matter how weird you are.
- Black or White – Michael Jackson
- Because if you’re thinking about my baby it don’t matter if you’re black or white. Equality people. Everyone should love everyone.
- Born In The USA – Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen
- Because I was born in the USA. Duh.
- American Girl – Tom Petty
- Because we were raised on promises and we couldn’t help thinking that there was a little more to life somewhere else. That’s why everyone immigrated to America in the first place.
- I Want You To Want Me – Cheap Trick
- Because in America, we all want each other to want each other. That’s how we make money.
- Surfin USA – The Beach Boys
- Because everybody’s gone surfin, surfin USA. East coast, west coast, whatever we’re still the shit.
- My Girl – The Temptations
- Because you’re talking bout my girl. Everyone talks about everyone in this country.
- Go Your Own Way – Fleetwood Mac
- Because in America, you can go your own way. It’s encouraged actually.
- Party In The USA – Miley Cyrus
- YEAH YEAH YEAH BECAUSE IT’S A PARTY IN THE USA ALL THE TIME.
