I'm tired of the national anthem

[Lilac]

Don't bash me, but it's getting more annoying and cheesier every time I see it at the Olympics. Congrats to the womens' soccer team, but thank goodness they have another talent because they'd never make it as singers. Talk about out of tune. I'm starting to think it's cheesy to even sing along, and I'm tired of the tune. I think the US needs a new one.

OMG...you could get stuck with Roseanne (grabbing her crotch) or even Carl Lewis (he forgot the words!)!!!

It gets pretty redundant but that's only cause they're doing so well..!

I dont think I know how your national anthem goes but Im sure mine sucks more.

The Australian national anthem sounds like a funeral dirge

and because it is on during prime time it is basically the U.S. at the Olympics. That's probably why it seems like we are hearing it over and over again. To see other countries and stuff, you gotta watch during the day. I wonder what the olympic tv schedule is like in other countries. Are they predominantly showing the U.S.?

 

[beli]

i think every country predominately shows their own country competiting.

seems like we are always beating austrailia in something...

i may get tired of hearing the national anthem from time to time during the awards too, but i never get tired of hearing the olympic theme. i also never get tired of seeing the expression on the atheletes face as they are almost in tears of joy as the anthem is played

ditto on what ABEL said about the anthem.

Its not for the viewers at home...its for the Gold winning athletes!

Afterall, it is THEIR moment.
