Various celebrities offering their own unique takes on how our national anthem should sound is nothing new. We’ve witnessed everyone from Roseanne Barr to Carl Lewis to Steven Tyler to a whole plethora of others take it upon themselves to butcher The Star-Spangled Banner, so it’s hard to really surprise folks with a bad performance these days – even if it's really bad.
