Oh God
Let's all fall down and utter thankful praises: The children of the Stall Brook Elementary School in Bellingham, MA can sing the correct chorus of Lee Greenwood's "god bless the USA" in school.
Big whoop. Dicking around with the chorus of the song is a sideshow. The real question is why this song is in the school repertoire in the first place. It is the lowest piece of pseudo-patriotic mucus ever perpetrated on the ever- gullible American public. Greenwood sings saccarine lyrics through his nose. Therefore it must be country; therefore it must be good. Gaak! Retch! Bletch!
For those unfamiliar with Massachusetts, I must point out that Bellingham ain't exactly Beacon Hill. This may explain why this piece of drivel is in their schools in the first place.
Possibly the solution here is to remove every word except "god." Then the tune would at least have a charming eroticism that would offend even more people: "god...god...god...god...."
