Very minor nitpick, Zaia. The song is simply called "America."

Oh? Pardon. Having worked with elementary kids, I've had too much exposure to all the American patriotic songs and tend to get them all a bit bungled. Sorry.

Not a problem. Here in the US that's not very well known either, most think it's "America the Beautiful." (I only know because an English teacher some years ago was quizzing the class on some random stuff - and no-one got the right answer to it)

Change it to the Iraqi national anthem for the next six months just to be confusing.

Supplement the National Anthem with the orchestra played during the famous
scene in Patton with George C Scott in front of the Flag.

Now THAT would kick ass...

The Imperial march belongs to finland, hands off!

Something about profit, probably.
