At least yours has a tune people can sing on key with little musical talent. "My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty, of Thee I sing." (yes, I know what I just did, intentional dig from the brash Colonial) ... vs. our own English Drinking Song that a roaring drunk couldn't sing on a bet.
Do you have to sing God Save the Queen before every sporting event? That's how a lot of Americans learn and remember the words to ours.
