Didn't Francis Scott Key write the words to the Star Spangled Banner? I've heard also that the tune is an old drinking song. Perhaps that explains why most people can't really sing it that well.
Yeah, Key wrote the SSB while looking at the British bomb Fort McHenry through the night during the War of 1812. He wasn't sure the americans would be able to hold on, but when the sun came up, the flag was still there.
