Jimmy Hendrix’s version of the Star Spangled banner

A bit of history

The American national anthem was originally a poem written by Francis

Scott Key in 1814 named then “Defence of Fort McHenry” (Fort McHenry is
in Baltimore, MD, the capital of my home state). The poem was written on
a british navy boat when Key and John Stuart Skinner went to talk to an
English Admiral Alenxander Cochrane for the release a Dr. Williams
Beanes. Since they had heard about the plan to attack Baltimore, they
were kept on board until the battle was over, where the Americans where
victorious. The flag on Fort McHenrt, gave the idea to the Key for the
subjet of the poem. Then the poem was given to Judge Nicholson, who
thought the words went well with a famous British drinking song “To
Anacreon In Heaven”, from the mid-1760s. On September 20, the song was
published in many journals, from states from Georgia to New Hampshire.
Soon after, it became famous, and Thomas Carr published the the word and
the music together, with the name “Star Spangled Banner”. In 1889,
Secretary of the Navy singed the General Order saying that the song
should be the played at every raising of the flag. In 1918, the song was
played for the first time at the beginning of the World Series. Now, the
tune is played at the beginning of every NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL game, when
a US team was playing. In 1929, Robert Ripley drew a cartoon in his
journal saying “Believe it or not, America has no national anthem!”. In
1931, US president Herbert Hoover signed a law declaring that “Star
Spangled Banner” would be adopted as the US national anthem.

Translation

Was translated into german, hebrwe, Yiddish (german language spoken by

the jews) French samoan and irish. The third verse was also transated
into latin.

“Nuestro Himno”

was a critic to the bush administration, sung in Spanish and all the shit
that goes with it
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last
gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous
fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still
there.
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps'
pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a
nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
