I've heard a number of people over the years complain that this was the national anthem instead of "America The Beautiful" or even "This Land Is Your Land". I know I can't carry a tune with a bucket and parts of "The Star Spangled Banner" are WAY beyond my poor capabilities. And judging from many people I've heard sing it, it was beyond theirs as well.
