KMazur, WireImage From Christina Aguilera to Roseanne, people have been screwing up 'The Star-Spangled Banner' for decades. That surely irks some Americans, but others really get really furious when performers alter words (like Steven Tyler's "Home of the Indianapolis 500!") or add in those extraneous melodic flourishes.
Besides creating YouTube fodder, all these reworkings have really ticked off one patriot in particular: Indiana state senator Vaneta Becker. How angry is she, you ask? Enough that she's proposing a bill to fine performers who mess with the national anthem.
