It would be very interesting to see Captain Beefhart  singing American anthem, without spiting on grass like some singer did few years ago.

Greg Lake sung Jerusalem and lyricized parts of Pictures At An Exhibition (Great Gates Of Kiev I think), and he did it well. If he can do hymnal, anthemic songs, there shouldn't be a problem for him to sing a national anthem, even with his nicotine-stained voice nowadays.Queen covered God Save The Queen, I could easily imagine Freddie singing it. He performed the Hungarian anthem anyway.And I don't know why but I got an impression that Robert Wyatt could sing easily any anthem...including InternazionaleThumbs%20Up


I <3 Greg Lake's voice! It's so pure, but @ the same time fitting for a band like ELP!

I want to hear Magma sing the French National Anthem in Kobaia

as to the Beefheart remark, i can imagine singing the first line or so of the anthem and then having a duff moment and start swearing at a fat guy in the front row for messing him up, then going straight into Big Eyed Beans from Venus

Fish has sung Flower of Scotland at a Scottish game against England: he also sang this on the Fellini Nights CD.
