I sensed a hint of "ham" during some of the warbles.

But all in all, confident and not overdone.  I agree.  Decent job.

Nicely done.  It's a *very* hard song to sing, especially acapella

Then you don't know Jack.  =) If he were show-boating, it would be unmistakable. Hamming it up is such a staple of his repertoire, they should call him Jack Black Forest Ham. (See what I did there?)


Great job.  I didn't know he could sing.  Good voice.

Does he ever not sing? It's been a pretty important part of his schtick.

i would say a touch of ham, but he kept it mainly under control.  at least he remembered the words!

color me corny but i think someone singing the anthem should look proud, feel honored.  he passed that test.

Um... he did it wrong.  He shifted to America The Beautiful at the end rather than actually finishing the 1st stanza of the Star Spangled Banner.  I rate that a good old fashioned old school fail.

I believe that there are actually 4 verses in total.

I am pretty sure that Jack got his start as a singer in Tenacious D and transitioned into acting.  I could be wrong though.

Either way, this is great:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lK4cX5xGiQ

He's actually in a band, IIRC.

Never heard them, but I had heard he was competent, at least.

Love Jack Black, since Tenacious D he's been singing.

Someone should link to the Cactus Cuties doing the Anthem, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCJRkUO_odo&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCJRkUO_odo&feature=related)
Awesome.

I really like the version that was sung by Faith Hill. Powerful, but not over the top with vocal gymnastics.

Unfortunately, you learn the wrong things fairly often.  Key wrote four verses:

Oh, 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 thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, 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!

Oh! 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!

isn't that what he sang?  and the same lyrics that are part of the "more" under comments?

Yeah, but the Tea Party Marine said there were TWO verses, and he sang verse four as the
"second" verse.
