Our National Anthem

Makes me tear up. Every single time. Except for when Roseanne Barr sang it. Then maybe, but for different reasons.
I have no idea why this song makes me get all choked up. I know all the words but honestly, I don't think I really know what they all mean as a collective gathering of words. I suppose it's just the idea of being proud that gets to me.
*wipes tear* after hearing Leann Rhymes sing it for The Rose Bowl.

Okay. Cookies in Coco's blog. Carry on.

You know that song is about a fight that we won, right?

Those Longhorns need a few Trojans on top of them. A little safe sex.

I love the national anthem too. :-) I always get chills when I hear it on Sundays, before a race starts.

I hear ya Carey. It does it to me.

And btw - obviously you are not a cold hearted bitch. It just takes different things to make you cry than other individuals. *grin*

I love it too, Carey. I have additional pride because it was written about a battle that took place in Baltimore, and it was written by a Marylander.

*shines up Maryland birth certificate*

And Coco? You may have won the battle, but we won the war. *grin*

And why haven't you had that baby yet? *rolls eyes*

And Mikki? I sing it also (very badly, I must admit) but I sing it with pride.
