Reconsider making R. Kelly's "ignition (remix)" our country's national anthem.

Created by T.M. on June 26, 2013

R. Kelly's "Ignition (remix)" represents our brave and noble country more effectively than the "Star Spangled Banner" by Francis Scott Key. R. Kelly states "You must be a football coach,The way you got me playin' the field." He is expressing his love and basic knowledge of an American born sport, which shows how well equipped this song is for all of America. He also hums "It's the freakin' weekend baby I'm about to have me some fun." which conveys his working class ethics about how he works hard during the week and gets together with friends on the weekends, like most Americans. The last piece of key evidence is the line "Lem'me give you that beep beep!" Mr. Kelly states his concern over public safety by beeping his horn at pedestrians, just to make sure there is no fatal accident.
