Anthems

Today's Saints-Chargers game at Wembley featured live solo performances of both The Star-Spangled Banner and God Save The Queen. The US anthem works fine as a solo but is pretty lousy as a singalong (crowd cheering, rather than singing, is the perfect accompaniment), whereas the UK anthem is a fantastic crowd song but really weird as a solo.

    Was it at least the Sex Pistols version of God Save the Queen? ;)
