Canadian Singer Alexis Normand Butchers National Anthem

May 192013

American web users have little sympathy for singers who screw up the National Anthem.

It’s not like these singers are plucked out of the crowd last minute. They all have plenty of time to brush up on the lyrics, and if they are doubtful, just bring a piece of a paper along with you just in case.

That would look a whole lot better than what Canadian singer Alexis Normand did at the Portland Winterhawks-Halifax Mooseheads game.

There are few ways of describing her performance other than ‘butchered,’ and now she is quickly going viral for her epic failure.

Last night she tweeted, “I’m embarrassed and deeply sorry. I wish I’d had more time to learn the American anthem.”

Already, the video is featured on Canada, HuffPost, and Metro.

The entire country is still in a state of shock and mourning after the terror bombing attack at the Boston Marathon. But Americans will always persevere.

Passengers Randomly Burst Into Song On Canadian Train

Nov 102012

Back in 2011, Paul Hillier was on his when home on the train when the passengers in his car randomly burst into song. They sang a bunch of classic songs, such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Joy To The World, and The Beatles’ obligatory Hey Jude.

The passengers let slip their secret of fellowship and togetherness at the end when they closed their music session with the Canadian national anthem.

Only in Canada.

F1 Race Car Plays The Star-Spangled Banner

Aug 152012

Red Bull is a great source for all things extreme, so the content of their latest viral video isn’t that surprising.

Their Red Bull Racing-livered Running Showcar was in in the US in New York’s Liberty Park, so in honor of ‘Merica, they had the engine play the Star Spangled Banner.

What’s more American than playing the National Anthem with a gas-guzzling F1 race car? Nothing.
