Change the national anthem from the "Star Spangled Banner" to "We Will Rock You."

Created by T.R. on February 20, 2014

As our current national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" is routinely criticized for being too difficult to sing(very pitchy song, with very hard high notes), and that the only time it is sung as a matter of routine is at sporting events, I would like to propose we change the National Anthem to "We Will Rock You." This will have the benefit of 1) promoting patriotism by modernizing the anthem, 2) making it capable of being sung by the average citizen, with lyrics and a beat that are as simple as possible, and 3) riling up the home team with a really kick-ass rock song. While other "patriotic" songs have been suggested in the past, they too have their detractors. "We Will Rock You" is almost universally adored by multiple generations. The time has come for a true rock national anthem.
