Should the National Anthem be changed?

YES PLEASE. Replace it with "America the Beautiful" maybe, or idk someone write a new one that's all nice and patriotic, or maybe just have it be "America, **** Yeah!" I just really dislike the melody of the Star-Spangled Banner, as only someone who butchered a solo of it in middle school choir can.

If we were to write a new anthem, I'd prefer for its tone to be hopeful, saying that we're Americans and we can overcome any challenge we collectively face. But something traditionally patriotic works too as long as the melody is better.

I'm really surprised "God Bless America" is not the anthem, especially because it references God.  Our motto is "In God We Trust" and God is referenced in so many other American landmarks and speeches.

our anthem predates our motto. It was E Pluribus Unum until the 1950s when we decided to position ourselves as the opposite of the aggressively secular Soviet Union
