The First Stanza of our National Anthem-The Star Spangled Banner by Francis Scott Key. For the other 3 verses and lots of other information visit Wikipedia
O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,

I cant sing anything without going off key and i dont know all the words to the ssb. I wont be doing anything for the 4th
I can't sing the national anthem at all, without sounding horrible. I do think i'd sound a tad better than when Roseanne Barr sang it though... lol
I know the words but I cannot sing anything on key. I am going to spend the holiday with my grandchildren.
No I cannot sing without going off key, I can hardly care a tune in a bucket, I am a back row choir singer, just move my mouth and pretend sounds come out. "Oh say, can you see....."
Heck no, I have zero singing range. I have no plans yet for the 4th. I'll probably read and might visit the pool.
I have no singing ability. Trust me! I am hosting a BBQ for the 4 of July.
That is hilarious. I am the WORST singer. I love to sing, but dogs bark, windows break etc... I am not sure what our plans for the 4th are but I would imagine BBQ :)
I definitely cannot sing without going off key to anything! We will grill out with family on the 4th!

I have to admit I don't think I am ever really on key no matter what I sing, but I do it anyway :) We are going to a party at a friend of my husbands from school. Her daughter and our son have been playing Minecraft and other games online for almost 2 years but have never met in person.
I'm not the best singer, but I can carry a tune, or at least I try :) We'll be watching the Fireworks on the 4th.

I absolutely cannot sing it without going off key lol. On the 4th I'll be cooking out and watching the fireworks.
I know I cannot sing it without going off key. I am not a very good singer. We will most likely have a family BBQ for the Fourth of July and watch the fire works.
Haha. I can not sing very well, so I would totally be off key. Unfortunately, I will be working all day (12 hrs.) on the 4th. Ugh.
I can sing it till the end, can't do the high key anymore. And I have no idea what I am doing on the 4th.

I'm off key, it's a hard song to sing. We may do a cook out for the 4Th of July.
I used to be able to but as I've grown much older, my voice messes up even on my church songs.
Maxie > mac262@me.com <

I don't even sing karaoke, so Nope. What will I be doing? Chilling! Hot dogs, beer, more food!
NO way can I sing it correctly. I'm a terrible singer. I think we are doing a family bbq and going to see some fireworks.
If it isn't raining, we will have a cookout and watch fireworks!
Haha no I can't sing. I think my boyfriend and I will probably have a BBQ and maybe go see some fireworks.

I can sing it, but not without going off key!
I'm hoping someone will have a BBQ.
I have no idea actually... I haven't sung it in forever, and never really paid attention. LOL But it's probably. And not doing anything other than hoping the neighborhood stays quiet and no one has any fireworks.
I absolutely could not sing it. This year, we'll be cooking out.
I couldn't even start in on key! And I think we will just be hanging out at home for the 4th.

I can not sing the Star Spangled banner in key lol...we will be celebrating the fourth of July at home enjoying a fire and family time...even though I live in Canada we still celebrate as my husband is American
No I cannot sing the Star Spangled Banner without going off key. And on the $th we will have a big family cookout, and it is my birthday.
No, I cannot sing at all! I plan on watching fireworks on the 4th! Thanks for the fun blog hop!
I think I can sing it for the most part, pretty much in key. It is my anniversary also so we plan on going to dinner and a party/fireworks. :)
If I start low enough, I can. And we're going to the cabin!
Yes I can sing it without going off key. I also put the wrong twitter follow name it should be fmd518 instead of fmd581 typing to fast and enter without thinking I wish raffle-copter would have a edit feature again.
No, I'm sure it will be off key but that's okay! We are having a BBQ with friends & family. Happy & safe 4th everyone!
I can sing it, but not one single note on key. 😄 I'll be camping with my boys this 4th,
I don't think my singing would be very nice! ;) We are planning a pool day at my sister's house!
I can't sing anything in tune, especially The Star Spangled Banner! We will have and old fashioned hamburger cookout with friends and family on July 4th.
i cant song anythng in tune so no i cant and i will be having a quiet 4th of july at home with family
I'm not able to sing anything without going off key. God didn't bless me with a singing voice. Lol
My first problem with singing the star spangled banner is that I dont know any of the words let alone singing it on key. I would fair much better singing the NZ national anthem.
I can't sing any song "on key" so that's a definite no on the Star Spangled Banner song. We are going to a friend's house, then watching fireworks on July 4th. Thanks.

Sadly, I can't sing it "on key" at least I don't think I can. We're going to have our traditional hamburgers and hot dog at my house for dinner. Yum!
Thanks for the giveaway! =)
I can sing it okay. We will be going to my nephews on the 4th, as far as I know...
Yes,I can sing really well....but I am shy.
We are just going to see fireworks in town...nothing else really.
I can not sing that off key at all!

I could try to sing the national anthem, but I would much rather enjoy the summer without attempting it :)
I can sing the Star Spangled Banner but I would definitely go off key. That doesn't keep me from singing it though. For the Fourth we'll be spending the day with our fmaily.
I doubt I can sing much of anything without going off key. Lol. This Fourth of July we are just staying home and having a small cookout.
No I can not sing the Star Spangled Banner with out going off key, and we are having a cook out with the family.
I can but I need to warm up quite a bit!
I know the lyrics, but could not sing them without going off key. For the 4th we are having a family bbq at my uncle's house.
I can sing it perfectly fine.... in the shower... that's about it. And this 4th of July I am staying home and hoping to see some fireworks from my balcony!
I don't live in the US, and I don't know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner. And sadly I'm not a good singer so if I happen to sing Star Spangled Banner, it's safe to say it will be off-key. Thanks for the giveaway!
I can sing it but I promise you I cannot sing it in key! My plans are to host a big party for our anniversary (July 6th) and the 4th with all of our friends and family coming over.
Yes I can sing it on key. For the4th I not doing anything special.
I definitely cannot sing the Star Spangled Banner off key, and I was born on the 4th of July:)
Not only can I NOT sing at all but I don't even know the words. im staying at home trying to keep the cats calm
I know that I would not be able to sing the national anthem in key. I will be having an outdoor barbecue before the fireworks.
I definitely can't sing the WHOLE song on-key, but I'd try! We are just staying close to home this year.
No, I couldn't sing it without going off-key. Today is the 4th of July and I'm reading your blog.
I can't sing the Star Spangled Banner or any other song without being off key. LOL. I plan on going to the lake tonight to watch the fireworks display.

There is no way I could sing the Star Spangled banner on key.
I can sing it if I get to choose the key it is in! But sometimes I cheat by dropping down an octave for the really high part.
I can sing the Star Spangled Banner - but I don't know if I could sing it on key every time. We're staying home for the 4th of July - cooking hamburgers and hot dogs.
I can sing the the Star Spangle Banner but everyone would probably wish I wouldn't. I'm afraid my rendition, although clearly recognizable, would be a health hazard causing mass headaches for everyone present. :)
Ha! No, I absolutely cannot sing anything on-key. Today was the fourth and I spent the day at the pool in my apartment complex and the evening comforting my dog because he's afraid of fireworks. Thank-you. :)
I think I do a decent job at singing it, nothing amazing though. we're not doing anything for the 4rth
I cannot sing without going off key once but I know the song well. I spent the day with family and boyfriend.
I am not a very good singer and I think you have to be a wonderful singer to sing The Star Spangled Banner. It is extremely difficult to hit those high notes. I am an alto, not a soprano, so no I cannot sing it without it sounding horrible.
nope i can't carry a tune - regnod(at)yahoo(d0t)com
no can't sing can't even remember all the words. to any song would be a mess if I was to sing.
I think I can sing it okay but I wouldn't sing it in public all by myself.
no i wish i could but i cant sing on key
Oh no, you don't want to hear me sing the Star Spangled Banner. I'm lucky if I get one key right! And on the 4th we started the day off with our annual parade in my hometown and then I just spend a quiet evening at home (minus the bangs and beautiful fireworks).
I can't sing anything without going off key and there's no way I would sing in public.
I cannot sing it without going off-key but I do admire those who can—when sung well, it is beautiful and stirring!

I cannot sing or carry a tune therefore I cannot sing the Star Spangled Banner nor would anyone want me to try.
Nope I would not hit one note right and I am sure that I would mess up the words as well.
No, I don't think I could sing it without losing tune. We didn't do a thing on the 4th.
I can't sing it without going off key, I was at home for the 4th and watched fireworks on tv.
I know i can't so i'm not even going to try lol.I went to the park with my boyfriend to watch the fireworks
no I can not sing, I'm tone deaf but I love to sing but cant.

I always go off key but I watched fireworks on the 4th!
No, I go off-key. But, I sing it anyway. I watch fireworks on TV.
I can sing the Star Spangled Banner pretty well on key until the last part, those high notes get me. I did sing it before one of my high school football games, many, many years ago. For the 4th of July, we had a small cookout and watched the local fireworks :)
I can not sing at all..not even in the shower. We went to the local parade and fireworks again this year.
I would probably go off key a little bit but I would put forth a pretty good effort!
I most certainly WOULD sing off key :) We went to the beach for the 4th!
I always sing off key.. lol... it's not one of my strongest talents.. but I'd prolly get the words all right! =) And we had a family movie night on the 4th here.. it was kinda rainy outside
