The National Anthem is also a bar song tune ... hard to believe, considering its vast note range, but that is what I remember.

One of the major problems I have with the pledge of allegiance, is that I take, and think a good number of folks should take, pledges and oaths seriously. Why repeat a pledge you have already agreed to? Wasn't the first adequate. or are you not to be trusted? A repeat of a pledge is a pledge in vain, and we should avoid vain pledges and oaths -- if we even undertand what a pledge or an oath means.
