Opera singer sings the first three verses at a minor league baseball game. Hilarity ensues.

I'd say I know it well, but I would definitely frick it up in front of people.
Maybe not if I was an opera singer, though. That's pretty weak.
ETA: Nevermind, didn't watch the video. The opera singer is a baller. And not an opera singer.

To Anacreon in heav'n where he sat in great glee
A few sons of Liberty sent a petition
That he their inspirer and patron would be,
When the answer arose from the jolly Grecian,
"Voice, fiddle, and flute,
No longer be mute
For I'll be your inspirer and patron to boot.
And more I will teach you at last to combine
The myrtle of Venus and Bacchus's vine."
That's from memory, so I may have messed up some of the words, but it's the song that the tune for our national anthem came from.

I think it's silly when people criticize performances of the Star Spangled Banner (with the exception of say Rosanne Barr) when you know damn well if you were asked to sing your ABC's in the Superdome full of 70,000 strong, you would frick it up.

Good thing the anthem isn't the whole poem...can you imagine having to listen to that before every ballgame?

Hey Look! It's Enrico Pallazzo!

that's legend if for no other reason that it gave us the GIF of the hat removal confusion guy.
He's almost as good as Jaguar fan

I know it by heart and if I were a singer used to performing on large platforms it wouldn't phase me one bit.
Now if you pulled me out of Section 27 Row 21 Seat 4 then I may go blank.

Favorite part:
Old woman: "It's in a different language."
Her husband: "That's English." as he just stares at her. His eyes clearly say, "You stupid bitch."

The lyrics flow terribly as a song. Then kick in stage fright. Most people aren't getting the words right.
ETA: I'm glad people didn't start booing to get her off the field. That would have been awkward.
And the fat lady at the end giving her the good riddance hand gesture.

I know it word for word. If don't know the words, don't sing it.
