But let me ask you a silly question- How come we never sing the THIRD verse of The Star Spangled Banner? Can you imagine, if at the Superbowl, the jumbotron put the lyrics to the THIRD verse of The Star Spangled Banner, and everyone sang it? Talk about giving a quick history lesson :-) Don't even start on the fourth verse, wow... It's a bizarre place that chooses for their national anthem a war poem set to a drinking song from a gentleman's club of the same country that was the enemy in that war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
