'''"The Star-Spangled Banner"''' is the national anthem of The United States of America. Poet Francis Scott Key penned the poem in 1814 after witnessing the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. The poem was then set to the tune of a song originally written by John Stafford Smith in 1780. [[Rivers Cuomo]] recorded a cover of the song at SIR Studios in Los Angeles in [[2004]], after which it was uploaded to Weezer.com and streamed to his Myspace profile. | '''"The Star-Spangled Banner"''' is the national anthem of The United States of America.
