Keeping with an Independence Day theme here, here's a list of pro-America songs so overwrought, they're embarrassing. Courtesy of the AV Club:

Re: America - **** Yeah! Hilariously Overwrought Pro-American Songs
Now I do think this chick torn it up badly YouTube - Mariah Carey - The Star Spangled Banner @ 2002 Superbowl
What is up with her whispering not whispering whispering not whispering whispering not whispering...and at such random times too. And that high pitch just killed it. Not a fan of this version, what so ever.

Your youtube links should be labeled automatically when you paste it (without the [img] tags).
If it's not doing it check the upper right corner when you're replying (above the smilies) and you'll see a text symbol (two A's)......click it and it should enable the label feature.
