Actually The Star Spangled Banner began as a spirited English drinking song, “To Anacreon In Heaven” before Key turned it into a bloodthirsty war tune. Same with the ‘America’ tune, I believe.
Hey, we like a little drink every now and then.

I hope we all know the setting of its composition, and the spirit of it is the farthest thing from bloodthirsty.
